Material Tailwind Dashboard React is a free, open-source React admin dashboard template by Creative Tim that pairs Tailwind CSS with Google's Material Design to build responsive admin interfaces.
What is Material Tailwind Dashboard React?
Material Tailwind Dashboard React is a free, open-source admin dashboard template built with React and Tailwind CSS, designed by Creative Tim. It uses the Material Tailwind component library to implement Google's Material Design guidelines. The template provides prebuilt pages and over 40 individual UI elements, so developers can assemble a functional admin panel without starting from scratch. The project is built on Vite and is available for download from Creative Tim or from its GitHub repository.
Key Features
- Over 40 frontend components — Buttons, inputs, navbars, nav tabs, cards, alerts, and more from @material-tailwind/react, each customizable through props and Tailwind CSS class names.
- Six example pages — Dashboard home, profile, tables, notifications, sign-in, and sign-up pages are included, giving you a full set of starting structures.
- Vite build system — The project uses Vite as the build tool, with a clear folder organization: src/configs, src/context, src/data, src/layouts, src/pages, src/widgets, App.jsx, main.jsx, and routes.jsx.
- Apex Charts integration — Data visualizations use the open-source Apex Charts library to render interactive charts.
- Hero Icons — The dashboard's icon set comes from Hero Icons, which provides hand-crafted SVG icons.
- Nepcha Analytics integration — The template comes with Nepcha Analytics already integrated, so you can track traffic without separate setup.
- One-click deployment to Genezio — A deploy button in the GitHub repository lets you deploy the template to Genezio's platform directly.
- Browser support — The template officially supports the last two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Opera.
