npm run devTheme Customization
The template supports multiple theme presets that you can switch between based on your design preferences. The default theme uses the Shadcn neutral color scheme, but you can modify this by updating the theme configuration files.
To change themes, locate the theme configuration files in your project structure. The template includes preset themes like Tangerine, Neo Brutalism, and Soft Pop. You can add custom themes by following the same structure pattern used in the existing presets.
Modify the Tailwind CSS configuration to include your custom color variables and design tokens.
Layout Configuration
The dashboard provides multiple layout options that you can customize based on your application requirements. The collapsible sidebar can be configured to show or hide by default, and you can adjust the content width to accommodate different screen sizes and content types.
Modify the layout components to change the sidebar behavior, header design, or main content area structure. The colocation file system architecture makes it easy to find and modify specific layout components without affecting other parts of the application.
Adding New Screens
The template includes five complete screens out of fifteen planned screens. You can add new dashboard screens by creating new route folders within the app directory structure.
Each new screen should follow the colocation pattern where page components, related hooks, and screen-specific logic are grouped together in the same folder. This approach keeps the codebase organized and makes it easier to maintain as your application grows.
Create new dashboard variants by copying the existing dashboard structure and modifying the components and data fetching logic to match your specific requirements.
Form Integration
The template uses React Hook Form combined with Zod for form validation and state management. Create new forms by defining Zod schemas for validation rules and connecting them to React Hook Form controllers.
The authentication screens demonstrate how to implement login and registration forms with proper validation and error handling. You can extend these patterns to create additional forms for user profiles, settings, or data entry screens.
Data Table Implementation
TanStack Table powers the data display functionality in the dashboard. Configure tables by defining column structures, sorting options, and filtering capabilities based on your data requirements.
The table components are reusable and can be adapted for different data types and display formats. Modify the table configuration to add features like pagination, row selection, or inline editing capabilities.
