A modern vue admin panel built with Vue3, Shadcn UI, Vite, TypeScript, and Monorepo. It's fast!
Vue Vben Admin: an admin panel you can start from
Vue Vben Admin is a free, open source middle and back office template built on Vue 3, Vite, and TypeScript. It works out of the box, and the current 5.0 release is not compatible with older versions.
Why a template at all
Most admin dashboards end up looking the same: a sidebar, a table, a form, some routing. Vue Vben Admin packages that repeated work into a free template aimed at middle and back office front ends. The stack is Vue 3 and Vite with TypeScript, and the README says it is meant to work out of the box while also serving as a learning reference. Version 5.0 is the current release, and the project is explicit that it does not carry over compatibility with earlier versions, pointing anyone on the old line to the v2 branch.
What ships with it
The feature list covers multiple theme colors with customization, built-in internationalization, and a permission system built around dynamic route generation. Browser support is stated as the last two versions of Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Gitpod gets a mention as a way to open the project in a free online environment and start coding without a local setup. There are no benchmark numbers or usage statistics in the README, so the template's appeal is described in features rather than measured performance.
How contributions get in
The contribution flow is a standard fork, branch, commit, push, and pull request sequence. A commit specification maps prefixes to meanings: feat for new features, fix for bugs, refactor for restructuring, test for tests, docs for documentation, and ci for continuous integration. The README closes with a light donation note for anyone who finds the project useful.
