Laravel Tablar Admin Dashboard

It's been 2 weeks that I have been working on a New Laravel Admin Dashboard Template.

jeroennoten/laravel-adminlte is a well-known admin dashboard laravel package. I used it in different projects. It's highly customizable & feature-rich. The dynamic menu generator with auth guard is the most fantastic feature of this laravel package.

Tabler is one of the most popular modern HTML dashboard templates. I used this template a few years ago. There is no laravel package like jeroennoten/laravel-adminlte for Tabler HTML template. So, I decided to build a new laravel admin dashboard package using the eye-catching design of Tabler HTML template. It's based on Bootstrap 5.0. You would get most of the Bootstrap features in this template.

Vite js Next Generation Frontend Tooling. It's super fast & faster than Webpack. I generally use laravel mix to build assets but In some cases, it performs slowly. Vite js is the default assets builder of the latest laravel. So, my plan was to use Vite & add a dynamic menu generator with auth guard.

Here it is.

Tabler + Laravel = TabLar

Laravel 9.0+ Tabler Dashboard Preset built for Fast Development with Dark Mode. It also contains a dynamic menu generator that helps to maintain navigation permission easily.

Usage

To use the blade template provided by this package, just create a new blade file and extend the layout with @extends('tablar::page'). You may use the following code snippet:

@extends('tablar::page')

@section('content')
    <!-- Page header -->
    <div class="page-header d-print-none">
        <div class="container-xl">
            <div class="row g-2 align-items-center">
                <div class="col">
                    <h2 class="page-title">
                        Empty page
                    </h2>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <!-- Page body -->
    <div class="page-body">
        <div class="container-xl">
            @if(config('tablar','display_alert'))
                @include('tablar::common.alert')
            @endif

            <!-- Page Content goes here -->

        </div>
    </div>
@endsection

Make display_alert to true from tablar.php config file

Use Tabler Pagination
