Overview
AdminLTE 4 is an HTML/CSS/TypeScript admin dashboard template built on Bootstrap 5.3.8 with no jQuery. It ships dark mode, RTL support and demo pages such as Calendar, Kanban, Chat, Mailbox and Tabulator data tables. Separate repositories provide React/Next.js, Vue/Nuxt, Angular, Laravel, Django, Symfony, ASP.NET and Drupal editions. It has no AI features, so it fits this list only as a UI starter.
Who it is for: Developers who need a Bootstrap admin UI shell for internal tools and dashboards
Ranked among open-source alternatives to ShipFast (#6 of 10).
Strengths
- Installs via CDN, npm or Composer; the CDN path needs no build step
- Dark mode uses Bootstrap's native data-bs-theme attribute; RTL is included
- Official editions for React, Vue, Angular, Laravel, Django, Symfony, ASP.NET and Drupal
- Demo pages cover Calendar, Kanban, Chat, File Manager, Mailbox, Wizard and invoices
Weaknesses
- UI template only: no auth, billing, database or backend, and no AI features
- v4 breaks v3: renamed classes and data attributes, bundled plugins/ folder removed
- Demo pages must be excluded from production deploys to avoid exposing examples
- Premium templates are promoted in the README; some pages and editions are paid elsewhere
What it needs
- Astro
- Needs Bootstrap 5.3, Node.js 22.22.3+ / 24.16.0+ / 26.3.0+ and npm 10+ (to develop AdminLTE itself)
