A professional Admin & Dashboard template based on Bootstrap 5 that comes with hundreds of UI components, forms, tables, charts, pages and icons. AdminKit **does not require jQuery** and neither does one of the 3rd party libraries AdminKit is using. [See demo](https://demo.adminkit.io/).

## Bootstrap 5 & Vanilla JavaScript
AdminKit, and all third-party libraries used in the admin template, do not require jQuery as a dependency.

## 12+ Example Pages
AdminKit includes 12+ example pages, including a dashboard, sign in, sign up and profile pages.

## Fully Responsive
With mobile, tablet & desktop support it doesn't matter what device you're using. AdminKit is responsive in all browsers.

## Cross-Browser
Our themes are working perfectly with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Edge. We're working hard to support them.

## Quick start

### Download

* Clone this repo `git clone https://github.com/adminkit/adminkit.git`
* [Download from GitHub](https://github.com/adminkit/adminkit/archive/master.zip)
* [Download from Website](https://adminkit.io/#download)

### Build tools

The theme includes a custom Webpack file, which can be used to quickly recompile and minify theme assets while developing or for deployment. You'll need to install Node.js before using Webpack.

Once Node.js is installed, run npm install to install the rest of AdminKit's dependencies. All dependencies will be downloaded to the node_modules directory.

```sh
npm install
```

Now you're ready to modify the source files and generate new dist/ files. AdminKit uses webpack-dev-server to automatically detect file changes and start a local webserver at http://localhost:8080.

```sh
npm start
```

Compile, optimize, minify and uglify all source files to dist/ folder:

```sh
npm run build
```

## CDN support

All files included in the `@adminkit/core` npm package are available over a CDN.

**CSS:**

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@adminkit/core@latest/dist/css/app.css">
