The template uses CSS custom properties for easy theming:
:root {
/* Primary Colors */
--primary-color: #4272d7;
--secondary-color: #6c757d;
--success-color: #28a745;
--warning-color: #ffc107;
--danger-color: #dc3545;
--info-color: #17a2b8;
/* Background Colors */
--body-bg: #f8f9fa;
--card-bg: #ffffff;

/* Text Colors */
--text-primary: #212529;
--text-secondary: #6c757d;
--text-muted: #868e96;
}Charts use Chart.js v4 configuration format:
const chartConfig = {
type: 'line', // line, bar, doughnut, etc.
data: {
labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Revenue',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderColor: '#4272d7',
backgroundColor: 'rgba(66, 114, 215, 0.1)'
}]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
plugins: {
legend: { display: true },
tooltip: { enabled: true }
},
scales: {
x: { display: true },
y: { display: true }
}
}
};The vanilla JavaScript utilities make it easy to add new components:
// Using the custom vanilla-utils.js
const element = $('.my-selector'); // querySelector
const elements = $$('.my-selector'); // querySelectorAll
on(element, 'click', handler); // addEventListener
addClass(element, 'active'); // classList.add
removeClass(element, 'active'); // classList.remove
toggleClass(element, 'active'); // classList.toggle- Mobile-First Grid - Bootstrap 5's improved responsive grid system
- Touch Navigation - Swipe-friendly sidebar and menu interactions
- Responsive Tables - Horizontal scroll with visual scroll indicators
- Optimized Charts - Touch-friendly Chart.js configurations
- Mobile Forms - Native form controls optimized for mobile input
- Lazy Loading - Charts and heavy components load when needed
- Optimized Images - Compressed assets for faster mobile loading
- Minimal JavaScript - Vanilla JS eliminates jQuery overhead
- Efficient CSS - Reduced bundle size with modern CSS features
Replace jQuery with modern JavaScript patterns:
// Old jQuery way
$('.element').addClass('active').on('click', handler);
// New vanilla way
const element = $('.element');
addClass(element, 'active');
on(element, 'click', handler);
// Modern ES6+ patterns
document.querySelectorAll('.elements').forEach(el => {
el.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
e.target.classList.toggle('active');
});
});Modern chart configuration with improved performance:
// Automatic chart initialization
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
const charts = document.querySelectorAll('[data-chart]');
charts.forEach(canvas => {
const type = canvas.dataset.chart;
const config = getChartConfig(type);
new Chart(canvas, config);
});
