Material Dashboard React

Material Dashboard React is a free, MIT-licensed admin dashboard template by Creative Tim that combines React with Material-UI v3.1.0 to produce a Google Material Design–style interface for building backends and admin panels.

What is Material Dashboard React?

Material Dashboard React is a free admin dashboard template created by Creative Tim, built with React and Material-UI v3.1.0, and scaffolded using create-react-app. It takes a React project and adds a complete set of reusable UI components and pre-built views, producing a responsive admin panel with a left sidebar navigation and main content area. The template is version 1.10.0, licensed under MIT, and available in additional HTML, Vue, and Angular versions.

Key Features

• Material Design UI — Built on Material-UI v3.1.0, delivering Google’s Material Design language with ripple effects, animations, and transitions.
• 5 Color Filters — The sidebar and card headers can be recolored using blue, green, orange, red, or purple.
• Sidebar Background Image — An option to set a background image on the sidebar is included.
• Pre-built Pages — Dashboard, User Profile, Tables, Maps, Notifications, Typography, Icons, and an RTL page are included as views.
• Reusable Components — The source includes Card, CustomButtons, CustomInput, CustomTabs, FixedPlugin, Footer, Grid, Navbars, Sidebar, Snackbar, Table, Tasks, and Typography components.
• RTL Layout — A separate RTL layout file (src/layouts/RTL.js) supports right-to-left languages.
• Chart Integration — Charts are powered by react-chartist.
• Browser Support — Officially supports the last two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Opera.

Who is it for?

• React developers who need a ready-made Material Design dashboard with pre-built pages and components, saving time on UI implementation.
• Startups and small teams wanting a free, MIT-licensed starting point for internal tools, admin panels, or product backends.
• Developers building multilingual apps that require right-to-left support can use the included RTL layout out of the box.
