FAQ
- Do I need a backend to use this template?
- No. The template includes UI components and data handling patterns. You can start with mock data and add a real API later.
- Can I use this for non-admin dashboards?
- Yes. The structure supports any data-driven UI. You can rename sections and tailor the UI to your domain.

Notes on usage and deployment
- Since this is a frontend template, you can run it locally for development and testing.
- When preparing for production, configure API endpoints, environment variables, and any authentication you plan to use.
- For teams integrating with existing systems, map the user and employee data models to your backend schema and adjust the form validations accordingly.
Design decisions and trade-offs
- The layout balances a wide feature set with maintainability.
- Charts are wrapped to provide consistent styling while remaining flexible for custom data.
- Forms leverage Formik for robust validation with clear error feedback.
Implementation guidance
- Start by running the app locally to explore the default dashboard.
- Inspect the layout: Sidebar, Topbar, and the main content area.
- Review the data grids to understand how data is loaded, displayed, and edited.
- Experiment with a few charts to see how data props affect visuals.
- Try the calendar to appreciate scheduling and event handling.
Usage patterns and best practices
- Keep data models simple and predictable to reduce complexity in grids and charts.
- Favor composing small, reusable components over large monolithic ones.
- Use a single source of truth for shared state when possible to avoid prop drilling.
