What it is

iView Admin is a starter template for building back-office management websites, the kind with login pages, menus, tables and forms. It is built with Vue.js 2 and the iView component library, so developers can begin from a working layout instead of building one from scratch. The README lists features such as permission control, i18n, dynamic routing, table export to CSV/XLS and error pages.

  • Start a new admin dashboard with login, logout and permission-based menus
  • Add a searchable table with CSV or XLS export
  • Use the included form examples such as a workflow or article publishing form as a starting point
  • Customize the theme, sidebar and tab navigation for your own product

Great for

  • Developers building an internal admin panel on Vue 2
  • Teams already using the iView component library
  • Developers who want a reference for permissions, routing and i18n in a Vue admin app
  • Projects that need table export and common admin components out of the box

Not ideal for

  • Projects that need Vue 3, since the README describes Vue 2.0 only
  • Non-developers who want a ready-made tool without coding, because it is a template to run and modify
  • Teams that prefer a different UI library, because the components depend on iView

Strengths

  • Covers many common admin needs such as login, permissions, i18n and error pages in one template
  • Uses the MIT license, which permits commercial use and modification
  • Has a public preview and documentation site to evaluate it before adopting

Trade-offs

  • The README shows Vue 2 and iView 3.x; the project's last push was in May 2022, so dependencies may be dated
  • Documentation is linked externally and the README itself gives only basic setup steps
  • The README mentions a Travis CI badge that may no longer reflect current build status
