Purple Angular is a free admin dashboard template for Angular developers, built on Bootstrap 4 and generated with Angular CLI version 10.1.7, providing a ready-made layout for back-office applications.
What is Purple Angular?
Purple Angular is a free admin template distributed by BootstrapDash, based on Bootstrap 4 and the Angular framework. It takes the Angular CLI project structure as its input and produces a functional dashboard application with a sidebar, header, and demo content. The template is generated with Angular CLI 10.1.7, which means it includes standard Angular development workflows like ng serve, ng build, and ng generate. A live preview is available at the BootstrapDash demo link, and the source includes a preview.jpg screenshot of the dashboard.
Key Features
- Angular CLI 10.1.7 project — The template is created with Angular CLI, giving you the familiar
