AdminLTE - Bootstrap 5 Admin Dashboard

AdminLTE is a fully responsive administration template. Based on Bootstrap 5 framework and also the JavaScript plugins. Highly customizable and easy to use. Fits many screen resolutions from small mobile devices to large desktops.

What's New in v4.0.0

The first stable release of the v4 line — a ground-up rewrite on Bootstrap 5.3 with no jQuery. Highlights:

18 new demo pages

• Apps: Calendar (FullCalendar), Kanban (SortableJS), Chat, File Manager, Projects, Mailbox (Inbox / Read / Compose)
• Forms: Wizard (4-step with validation)
• Tables: Data Tables (Tabulator — jQuery-free)
• Pages: Profile, Settings, Invoice, Pricing, FAQ
• Errors: 404, 500, Maintenance

Documentation overhaul

• New pages: Getting Started, Customization & Theming, RTL Support, Migration from v3, Layout Blueprint, Recipes, Deployment & Performance, Recommended Integrations, JavaScript Plugins Overview
• Rewritten Introduction with four labelled install paths (CDN / npm / source / Composer)
• FAQ rebuilt as a custom page with hero, live search, section chips, and an accordion of 19 questions across six topics
• Split sidebar navigation: dashboard demo and docs each have their own nav, no more docs entries cluttering the live preview
• Reading-friendly typography across all docs pages, with constrained line length, prose-tuned heading rhythm, styled reference tables, info callouts, and pill inline code

Six issue fixes

• bi-circle-half for the Auto color-mode icon (#6028)
• table-head-fixed respects dark mode (#6026)
• Fullscreen icon toggles .d-none instead of inline display so it works with any icon library (#6021)
• Sidebar (including brand) stays pinned when using fixed-header (#6020)
• Pie chart on index2.html no longer flickers on browser zoom (#6019)
• Color-mode toggle now visible by default in the topbar with localStorage persistence (#6010)

Major dependency upgrades

• ESLint 9 → 10, TypeScript 5.9 → 6, Stylelint 16 → 17
• Astro 6.0 → 6.3, autoprefixer / postcss / rollup / sass / terser refreshed
• Bootstrap 5.3.8, Node 22 LTS in CI
• Dropped dead eslint-plugin-import, eslint-config-xo*, and the legacy .eslintrc.json
• npm overrides for yaml + stylelint-config-twbs-bootstrap so npm install runs without --legacy-peer-deps and reports 0 vulnerabilities

Breaking changes from v3

• Class renames: .wrapper → .app-wrapper, .main-header → .app-header, .main-sidebar → .app-sidebar, .content-wrapper → .app-main
• Data attributes: data-toggle → data-bs-toggle, data-widget="pushmenu" → data-lte-toggle="sidebar", data-widget="treeview" → data-lte-toggle="treeview"
• Dark mode: .dark-mode body class → data-bs-theme="dark" attribute (Bootstrap 5.3 native)
• jQuery no longer required; plugins are vanilla TypeScript

Security & Production Deployment

Important Security Notice

AdminLTE is a UI template - when deploying to production, follow these critical guidelines:

What to Deploy:

• Only compiled production assets: dist/js/adminlte.min.js and dist/css/adminlte.min.css
• Your application-specific files

What NOT to Deploy:

• node_modules/ directory
• Demo/example HTML files (index.html, index2.html, index3.html, etc.)
• Source files (src/ directory)
• Development configuration files

CVE-2021-36471 Notice: This CVE is disputed and does not represent a vulnerability in AdminLTE. It refers to demo pages being accessible when developers incorrectly deploy example files to production. AdminLTE v4 has a clear separation between development demos and production assets. See SECURITY.md for complete details.

Production Build:

npm run production  # Builds optimized assets in dist/
