100+ Components - There is more than 100 free Bootstrap 5 components included some of them being buttons, alerts, modals, date pickers, and so on.

11 Example Pages - Volt brings 11 example pages including an overview, sign in, sign up, transactions page, and many more.

3 Lightweight Plugins - There are 3 lightweight and Vanilla JS plugins that come with Volt, namely a date picker, notification, and charts library.


How to use it

The project comes with an intuitive codebase structure and a minimal set of features like authentication, helpers, and Docker support.  Probably the easier way to compile and use the starter in a local environment is via the Docker setup shipped with the sources.

Once we have the Docker properly installed and project sources downloaded, all we need to do is to type a single command in the root of the project:

$ cd django-volt-dashboard    # root of the project
$ docker-compose up --build   # start the project in Docker

At this point, we should be able to access the app in the browser, create new users and access the private pages.
