I Built a Production-Ready Dashboard Template with Quasar, Vue 3 and TypeScript

Building a modern web application from scratch often means spending a lot of time on things that are not actually part of the product you want to build.
Authentication layouts.
Navigation.
Dashboards.
Tables.
Charts.
Responsive layouts.
Dark mode.
Reusable components.
And, of course, making everything look good.
I wanted to solve that problem for developers working with Quasar Framework.
So I decided to revive a project that has been sitting on GitHub for more than five years and completely redesign it for the modern Quasar ecosystem.
Meet Quasar Dashboard PRO.
A modern, production-ready dashboard template built with Quasar Framework, Vue 3, TypeScript and Vite.
Why another dashboard template?
There are countless dashboard templates available for React, Next.js and other popular ecosystems.
But when working with Vue and especially Quasar, I often found myself starting with a clean Quasar project and rebuilding the same application foundations over and over again.
The goal of Quasar Dashboard PRO is simple:
Give developers a solid starting point instead of an empty project.
You should be able to clone the repository, install the dependencies, start the development server and immediately have a complete dashboard application to work from.
Built with Quasar
The foundation of the project is Quasar Framework.
And this is one of the reasons I chose Quasar in the first place.
Quasar is not just a UI component library.
It provides a complete application framework around Vue, with tooling for different application targets.
The current Quasar ecosystem supports applications such as:
- SPA
- SSR
- SSG
- PWA
- Mobile applications
- Desktop applications
- Browser extensions
All from the same Vue ecosystem.
That means the dashboard you start building today doesn't necessarily have to remain a browser-only application tomorrow.
What's inside?
Quasar Dashboard PRO was designed around real application requirements rather than just a collection of UI screenshots.
The dashboard includes several application areas to demonstrate how the architecture can be used in real-world projects.
Finance
A complete finance dashboard example with:
- Multiple account cards
- Income and expenditure charts
- Spending limits
- Savings goals
- Currency-based accounts
- Responsive layouts
CRM
The template also includes a CRM-oriented structure with areas such as:
- Leads
- Deals
- Customers
- Communication
- Overview dashboards
This makes it easier to adapt the project for SaaS applications, internal tools and business platforms.
E-commerce
The project includes examples for:
- Products
- Shopping cart
- Checkout
- Order history
- Order summaries
The goal isn't to create a complete e-commerce platform.
Instead, these modules demonstrate how different business domains can coexist inside the same dashboard architecture.
Fleet Tracking
One of the most interesting parts of the new version is the fleet tracking dashboard.
It demonstrates how Quasar can be used to build more complex operational interfaces.
The dashboard includes:
- Live vehicle monitoring
- Vehicle status
- Trip history
- Alerts
- Maintenance
- Map-based visualization
- Risk zones
- Real-time metrics
This type of interface is particularly interesting for logistics, transportation, field service and IoT applications.
A reusable application foundation
The goal isn't just to provide a nice-looking dashboard.
The project is structured to provide reusable foundations for applications.
Instead of starting with:
src/
components/
pages/
layouts/
and then spending days deciding how everything should fit together, you start with an application that already has:
Navigation
Layouts
Dashboard pages
Responsive behavior
Reusable UI patterns
Tables
Cards
Charts
Forms
Application sections
Theme support
You can then remove what you don't need and start building your actual product.
Responsive by design
Modern dashboards have to work across different screen sizes.
A dashboard that looks great on a large monitor but becomes unusable on a laptop or mobile device isn't really production-ready.
Quasar's responsive utilities and component system make it possible to build these interfaces while keeping the development experience consistent.
The goal with Quasar Dashboard PRO is to treat responsive behavior as part of the architecture rather than something added at the end.
TypeScript
The project is built with TypeScript.
This is particularly important for dashboard applications because they usually contain a lot of structured data.
For example:
interface Transaction {
id: number
description: string
amount: number
currency: string
status: 'pending' | 'completed' | 'failed'
date: string
}
Strong typing becomes increasingly valuable as the application grows.
It makes refactoring safer, improves editor support and makes the codebase easier to maintain.
Vite
The project uses the modern Quasar + Vite tooling.
This provides a fast development experience while keeping the project aligned with the current Vue ecosystem.
Quasar's current tooling is built around Vite, and the framework provides its own CLI and build modes on top of it.
Designed for customization
A dashboard template should not force developers into a single visual identity.
The project is designed to be customized.
You can change:
Colors
Typography
Navigation
Layouts
Components
Dashboard cards
Charts
Pages
Application modules
The idea is to provide a strong starting point while keeping the project flexible enough to become your own application.
Open Source
Quasar Dashboard PRO is open source.
The repository is available on GitHub:
š GitHub Repository
The goal is not only to provide a ready-to-use template, but also to give the Quasar community something that can evolve over time.
I'm especially interested in seeing what developers build with it.
Who is it for?
Quasar Dashboard PRO can be useful for developers building:
SaaS applications
Start with a complete dashboard and focus on the actual product.
Internal tools
Build admin panels and business systems faster.
CRM systems
Use the CRM structure as a starting point.
Financial applications
Use the finance dashboard as a foundation.
E-commerce platforms
Reuse the product, checkout and order structures.
Fleet and logistics systems
Use the fleet tracking dashboard as a starting point for operational applications.
Admin panels
Or simply use it as a general-purpose Quasar admin template.
Why Quasar?
One of the biggest reasons I enjoy working with Quasar is that it allows developers to think beyond a single deployment target.
A Vue application can evolve into different experiences without requiring an entirely different technology stack.
For example:
Vue + Quasar

āāāāāāāāāāāā¼āāāāāāāāāāā
ā ā ā
SPA PWA SSR
ā ā ā
āāāāāāā¬āāāāā“āāāāā¬āāāāāā
ā ā
Mobile Desktop
This is one of the biggest strengths of the framework.
You can build a common application foundation and adapt it to different platforms when the product requires it.
What's next?
The current version is only the beginning.
Some of the things I would like to explore in future versions include:
More dashboard examples
More reusable components
Authentication examples
Role-based permissions
Advanced data tables
More chart examples
Better mobile experiences
PWA improvements
More real-world application modules
AI-assisted features
And, of course, contributions and ideas from the community.
Try it yourself
If you're working with Quasar and need a modern starting point for your next project, give it a try.

If you build something with it, I'd love to see what you create.
Star the repository, open an issue, submit a PR or just share your project.
Final thoughts
I don't think developers should spend the first days of a project rebuilding the same dashboard foundations again and again.
The interesting part is the product.
The business logic.
The user experience.
The problem you're trying to solve.
Quasar Dashboard PRO is an attempt to make that starting point faster.
Clone it. Customize it. Build something great with Quasar.
