ng-matero
An open-source Angular Material admin dashboard template

- Best for
- Angular developers who want a free, Material Design admin dashboard with permissions and i18n already set up.
- Skip if
- You want a non-Angular Material design system, or a full SaaS starter rather than just an admin template.
ng-matero is a free, open-source Angular admin dashboard template built on Angular Material with multiple layout styles, dark mode, RTL support, and an extensive color/utility system. It includes authentication with HTTP interceptors, permissions management, i18n, and schematics for quickly generating new modules and pages, installable via `ng add ng-matero`.
