Overview

A Vue 3 single-page admin dashboard template built on Vite, Vue Router, Pinia and the CoreUI Vue component library. It ships layouts, sidebar and header components, and example views. It also includes .cursorrules, ARCHITECTURE.md and DEVELOPMENT.md so Cursor, Copilot or Claude Code follow its conventions.

Includes .cursorrules, ARCHITECTURE.md and DEVELOPMENT.md for AI coding assistants

Weaknesses

Data Grid and Scheduler are separate paid add-ons
AI support is config and docs only; no model integration

How to choose

Verify the AI part is real code (model calls, usage metering), not only editor config files.
Usage-based billing matters for AI costs; check whether metering is included or left to you.
Weigh the framework lock-in (Wasp, tRPC, Django) against what your team knows.
