☄️React Material Admin is a React template built with Material-UI
A free React admin dashboard template built on MUI 7, React 19, and Vite 7 — the kind of thing you clone when you need a starting point for an internal tool and don't want to wire up sidebar navigation, theme switching, and auth screens from scratch. It was a paid Flatlogic product; they open-sourced it, which explains the polish but also the upsell-heavy README pointing at their AI generator.
The dependency versions are actually current: React 19, MUI 7, React Router 7, Vite 7 with SWC — not the usual admin-template problem of being stuck on 2021-era packages. GitHub Actions CI runs lint, build, and test on every push, which is more than most templates bother with. The frontend-only fallback mode (mock auth + mock data) means you can run and explore the whole thing without standing up a backend first. ApexCharts integration covers bar, line, pie, heatmap, and radar in one place, which saves an afternoon of wiring.
The entire codebase is JavaScript, not TypeScript — in 2026 this is a real liability for anything that grows beyond a toy; you'll either migrate it yourself or spend months chasing prop bugs. State management is plain Context API, which works fine for the demo but becomes a tangled mess once you add real async data, optimistic updates, or cross-component invalidation. Auth is entirely mocked in `src/context/mock.js` — there's no session handling, token refresh, or protected route logic worth keeping; you're writing that from scratch. The repo has obvious image duplication between `src/images/` and `docs/assets/`, suggesting the build output was committed back into the repo rather than cleaned up.
