Template Details
This is a dashboard template for backend management scenarios, with a tech stack of Nuxt paired with Shadcn Vue components and TailwindCSS. The repository provides links to an online demo and component documentation, along with desktop and mobile page screenshots.
The template's core configuration options are centralized in app.config.ts, including the sidebar collapse mode (offcanvas, icon, none), sidebar position (left, right), sidebar style (sidebar, floating, inset), as well as theme colors (default, blue, green, orange, purple, red, teal, yellow, rose) and theme types (default, mono, scaled). After modifying these settings, the app_settings cookie must be cleared first for them to take effect.
Initialization is done by creating a project from this GitHub template via nuxi, followed by installing dependencies with pnpm. The repository uses the MIT license, and the free scope covers the code of this version; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons, as well as external services like domains, hosting, and databases, need separate verification or may incur costs.
