Elektron Admin Layout

Elektron is a premium, minimalist admin dashboard designed with "Technical Prestige" in mind. Built with Vite, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, it offers a sophisticated interface that balances functionality with aesthetic excellence.

✨ Features

• Technical Prestige: Inspired by Linear and Vercel aesthetics - deep blacks, thin borders, and high-contrast typography.
• Glassmorphism: Elegant use of background blurs and translucent layers for depth.
• Editorial Typography: Lightweight fonts and wide tracking for an authoritative, premium feel.
• Micro-animations: Fluid transitions and subtle hover effects for a responsive user experience.
• Ultra-Responsive: Optimized for all screen sizes with a smart sidebar and layout system.

🚀 Getting Started

Installation

Install Elektron via NPM:

npm install elektron

Or use it directly via CDN:

<!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/elektron/lib/elektron.css">

<!-- UMD (Universal) -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/elektron/lib/elektron.umd.cjs"></script>

<!-- ESM (Modern) -->
<script type="module">
  import { initSidebar } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/elektron/lib/elektron.js';
  initSidebar();
</script>

Usage

With npm

With precompiled CSS (no Tailwind required)

import 'elektron/style.css'

Or in your CSS file:

@import "elektron/style.css";

With Tailwind CSS v4

Do not import the precompiled CSS. Instead, point Tailwind at elektron's source so it scans and compiles the classes together with your own:

In your CSS file:

@import "tailwindcss";
@source "../node_modules/elektron/src";
@import "elektron/source";

@theme {
  /* override elektron's theme variables if needed */
  --font-sans: "Your Font", sans-serif;
  --color-bg-main: #0f0f0f;
}

This way there are no duplicate styles — everything is compiled in a single pass.

Via CDN (jsDelivr / unpkg)

No build step required. Add the precompiled CSS directly to your HTML:

jsDelivr

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/elektron/lib/elektron.css">

unpkg

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/elektron/lib/elektron.css">

For a specific version:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/lib/elektron.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/lib/elektron.css">

JavaScript

With npm

import { initSidebar } from 'elektron'

initSidebar()

With custom options:

initSidebar({
  sidebarId: 'my-sidebar',
  toggleId: 'my-toggle',
  backdropId: 'my-backdrop'
})

Via CDN (jsDelivr / unpkg)

<script type="module">
  import { initSidebar } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/elektron/lib/elektron.js'
  initSidebar()
</script>

Or with unpkg:

<script type="module">
  import { initSidebar } from 'https://unpkg.com/elektron/lib/elektron.js'
  initSidebar()
</script>

initSidebar(options?)

| Option | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | sidebarId | string | "sidebar" | id of the sidebar element | | toggleId | string | "sidebar-toggle" | id of the button that opens/closes the sidebar | | backdropId | string | "sidebar-backdrop" | id of the backdrop overlay element |

The function returns a cleanup function that removes all event listeners — useful for SPA frameworks:

const cleanup = initSidebar()

// later, when component is destroyed
cleanup()

CSS Variables (Theme)

You can override elektron's default theme by redefining these variables:

@theme {
  --color-bg-main: #050505;
  --color-bg-card: #0a0a0a;
  --color-brand-primary: #ffffff;
  --color-brand-secondary: #71717a;
  --color-brand-muted: #3f3f46;
  --color-titanium: #e2e2e2;
  --color-platinum: #f5f5f5;
  --color-slate-metal: #1e1e20;
  --color-border-subtle: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.03);
  --color-border-active: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08);
}

CDN users can override via plain CSS:

:root {
  --color-bg-main: #0f0f0f;
  --color-brand-primary: #e0e0e0;
}

🗿 Design Philosophy: "Technical Prestige"

Elektron is not just a tool; it's an asset to be proud of. Our design principles are rooted in a synthesis of modern software excellence:

• Space as Luxury: We utilize generous macro-spacing (p-8) to give every data point its own stage, avoiding clutter and favoring focus.
• Editorial Typography: We use light weights and wide letter-spacing (tracking-widest) in headers to establish authority and a high-end feel.
• Titanium & Slate Palette: Moving away from vibrant colors, we embrace industrial luxury with Titianium Gray, Platinum, and Brushed Steel tones.
• Materiality: A subtle film grain texture is layered over the interface to break digital coldness and provide a tactile, physical feel.
• Fluid Motion: Interactions are heavy and fluid, using cubic-bezier transitions for a substantial and controlled experience.
