What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
Developed with screen readers, supporting focus trapping and keyboard navigation
Supports a dark theme, with different images loadable per theme
Uses Tailwind CSS, Windmill React UI, Heroicons, and Chart.js
Components and containers are centralized in the example folder, and sidebar routes are configured in routes/sidebar.tsx
Template Details
This project is the Next.js + TypeScript version of Windmill Dashboard. The README states that it originates from @estevanmaito's original React project and references @neutralboy's TypeScript version and @Aldhanekaa's Next.js version. The author explicitly states that this is not a template but a complete application built on top of React, where users only need to supply data to use it.
Regarding features, the README lists: accessibility support developed with screen readers, focus trapping and keyboard navigation, a dark theme (with different images loadable per theme), multiple custom components, code splitting, Tailwind CSS, Windmill React UI, Heroicons, and Chart.js. All components and containers are stored in the example folder.
For routing configuration, the default redirect is modified in next.config.js, and the sidebar menu is configured in routes/sidebar.tsx. Menu items require three properties: path, name, and icon; dropdown menu items do not require path but require a routes array. The project is bootstrapped with create-next-app, dependencies are installed via npm install or yarn install, and the development server is started via npm run dev or yarn dev, accessible by default at localhost:3000. The README does not provide data integration methods, backend API conventions, or specific configuration instructions beyond production deployment.

This is not a template. This is a complete application, built on top of React, with all tiny details taken care of so you just need to bring the data to feed it.
Accessibility is a priority in my projects and I think it should be in yours too, so this was developed listening to real screen readers, focus traps and keyboard navigation are available everywhere.
## 📦 Features
- 🦮 Throughly accessible (developed using screen readers)
- 🌗 Dark theme enabled (load even different images based on theme)
- 🧩 Multiple (custom) components
- ⚡ Code splitting
- Tailwind CSS
- [Windmill React UI](https://windmillui.com/react-ui)
- Heroicons
- Chart.js
## 📚 Docs
### General components
Windmill Dashboard React is built on top of [Windmill React UI](https://windmillui.com/react-ui). You will find the documentation for every small component there.
### Example Boilerplate
All components and containers are saved in folder [example](example)
### Routing
Change default redirecting when hit the `/` or `home` in file [next.config.js](next.config.js)
```js
async redirects() {
return [
{
source: '/',
destination: '/example/login',
permanent: false,
},
]
}
```
#### Sidebar routes
To configure sidebar menus, see file ([routes/sidebar.tsx](routes/sidebar.tsx)).
These are the routes that will show in the sidebar. They expect three properties:
- `path`: the destination;
- `name`: the name to be shown;
- `icon`: an icon to illustrate the item
Item that are used as dropdowns, like the Pages option, don't need a `path`, but expect a `routes` array of objects with `path` and `name`:
```js
// sidebar.js
{
path: '/example/tables',
icon: 'TablesIcon',
name: 'Tables',
},
{
icon: 'PagesIcon', // <-- this is used as a submenu, so no path
name: 'Pages',
routes: [
// submenu
{
path: '/example/login',
name: 'Login', // <-- these don't have icons
},
{
path: '/example/create-account',
name: 'Create account',
},
```
This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app).
## Getting Started
First, install dependencies :
```bash
npm install
# or
yarn install
```
then, you can run the development server:
```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
```
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the page by modifying `pages/index.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
[API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) can be accessed on [http://localhost:3000/api/hello](http://localhost:3000/api/hello). This endpoint can be edited in `pages/api/hello.ts`.
The `pages/api` directory is mapped to `/api/*`. Files in this directory are treated as [API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) instead of React pages.
