Vue Vben Admin

A modern Vue 3 admin panel built with Shadcn UI, Vite, and TypeScript in a monorepo

Best for: Vue 3 teams who want a fast, monorepo-based admin panel with Shadcn UI and configurable RBAC out of the box.
Skip if: You're not building in Vue, or you prefer Element Plus/Ant Design Vue's component styling over Shadcn UI.

Vue Vben Admin is a free, open-source admin dashboard template built on Vue 3, Pinia, Vue Router, and TypeScript, with Shadcn UI and Tailwind CSS as its core UI layer inside a pnpm + Turbo monorepo. It includes built-in i18n, configurable access control/permission management, and easy theme switching.

Pros

Actively maintained with a large, long-running GitHub community
Modern stack: Vue 3, Vite, Shadcn UI, Tailwind, TypeScript, monorepo architecture
Configurable access control and permission management built in
Built-in i18n and theme switching

Cons

Monorepo setup adds complexity versus a single-package admin template
No payments, multi-tenant SaaS, or backend logic included - it's a frontend dashboard shell
Shadcn UI-based design may require more customization to match non-Shadcn brand systems
