What stands out

A quick read of the recorded project description.

01

Angular backend template integrated with Electron, allowing the same codebase to run as both a web and desktop application

02

Interface based on Creative Tim's free Material Dashboard Angular version, following Material Design

03

Includes page components such as dashboard, icons, maps, notifications, table list, typography, upgrade page, and user profile

04

Multiple color schemes for the sidebar and card headers, with support for sidebar background images

05

README provides two sets of startup and build commands for web and Electron

Template Details

This repository integrates an Angular backend template with Electron to build dashboard projects that can run in the browser via ng serve or be packaged as Electron desktop applications. The interface is based on Creative Tim's free Material Dashboard Angular version, follows Material Design, includes a left sidebar navigation and right content panel, and provides page components such as dashboard, icons, maps, notifications, table list, typography, upgrade page, and user profile.

The repository README explains two usage methods: for web, run npm start or ng serve; for Electron, run npm run electron or npm run build.electron, with build output to the electron/dist/dev directory. The README also notes that to fix paths generated by angular-cli in the index.html build, custom modifications to index.html are required; custom environments can be configured by editing angular-cli.json, but the author notes this part of the build is not yet complete.

The project was created in 2017, based on the Angular CLI and Angular 4.x workflow of that time; the directory structure, angular-cli.json configuration, and dependency versions all belong to that period and are incompatible with modern Angular versions. The repository uses the MIT license, but third-party licenses for interface assets need to be checked separately.

# [Material Dashboard Angular - Free Bootstrap Material Design Admin](https://www.creative-tim.com/product/material-dashboard-angular2)[![version][version-badge]][CHANGELOG]

![alt text](http://s3.amazonaws.com/creativetim_bucket/products/53/original/opt_md_angular_thumbnail.jpg "Material Dashboard Angular Free")

**[Material Dashboard Angular](https://www.creative-tim.com/product/material-dashboard-angular2/)** is a free Material Bootstrap Admin with a fresh, new design inspired by Google's Material Design. We are very excited to introduce our take on the material concepts through an easy to use and beautiful set of components. Material Dashboard was built over the popular Bootstrap framework and it comes with a couple of third-party plugins redesigned to fit in with the rest of the elements.

Material Dashboard makes use of light, surface and movement. The general layout resembles sheets of paper following multiple different layers, so that the depth and order is obvious. The navigation stays mainly on the left sidebar and the content is on the right inside the main panel.

This product came as a result of users asking for a material dashboard after we released our successful [Material Kit](http://www.creative-tim.com/product/material-kit). We developed it based on your feedback and it is a powerful bootstrap admin dashboard, which allows you to build products like admin panels, content managements systems and CRMs.

Material Dashboard comes with 5 color filter choices for both the sidebar and the card headers (blue, green, orange, red and purple) and an option to have a background image on the sidebar.

Material Dashboard uses a framework built by our friend [Federico - Bootstrap Material Design](http://fezvrasta.github.io/bootstrap-material-design/), who did an amazing job creating the backbone for the material effects, animations, ripples and transitions. Big thanks to his team for the effort and forward thinking they put into it.

Special thanks go to:
[Robert McIntosh](https://github.com/mouse0270/bootstrap-notify) for the notification system.
[Chartist](https://gionkunz.github.io/chartist-js/) for the wonderful charts.
We are very excited to share this dashboard with you and we look forward to hearing your feedback!
