## What is ng2-admin?

ng2-admin is a front-end Admin Dashboard template based on Angular 2, Bootstrap 4 and Webpack. That means all data you can see on graphs, charts tables is mocked in Javascript so you can use backend of your choice with no limitations.

## How can it help me?

We believe that at the moment a lot of business applications have administration/management interfaces inside of them. Sometimes it's not that obvious, but a lot of web applications have dashboards with panels, charts analytics, etc.

ng2-admin aims to bootstrap the development of your product and provide ecosystem for building production-ready application or prototypes.

Frameworks like Bootstrap provide a number of components, but usually it's not enough to build a real-world app. This template comes with lots of popular UI components with unified color scheme, plus it based on a modern Angular 2 framework and has a flexible components-based structure.

As well you can use ng2-admin for learning purposes of Angular 2.
