Laradmin – The Ultra-Lightweight Laravel Admin Panel
Simple, config-driven, and zero bloat. Drop it in and own your admin interface.
A simple, powerful, drop-in administrative interface for managing all your editable content in new or existing Laravel sites. No migrations. No heavy JS frameworks. Just Composer, a config file, and pure Laravel Blade. A hidden gem for devs who want control without the overhead.
Ideal for Quick-Start Projects
Laradmin shines in:
- Content-managed marketing sites or blogs
- Internal dashboards and tools
- MVP prototypes where speed matters
- Agency work needing a customizable CMS drop-in
- Blade purists avoiding Livewire/Vue lock-in
Why Pick Laradmin Over the Big Names?
In a sea of feature-packed panels, Laradmin is the minimalist choice for full control.
| Feature | Laradmin | Popular Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Install Time | ~30 seconds | 5–20+ minutes (migrations, setup wizards) |
| Dependencies | Minimal (jQuery plugins) | Heavy (Livewire, Vue, Tailwind, etc.) |
| Configuration | Single PHP config file | DB tables, migrations, or code generators |
| Customization | 100% overridable views/fields | Often theme-locked or extension-heavy |
| Security | You control via middleware | Built-in roles (but less audit-friendly) |
| Bundle Size | <400 KB | 5–50+ MB |
Full Control, No Magic

Security on Your Terms
Starts with basic auth middleware—perfect for dev. Add custom checks (e.g., is_admin role) in one line:
'middleware' => ['auth', 'admin'],
No hidden layers; you audit everything.
Community-Driven & Evolving
Laradmin is a work-in-progress gem: lightweight, extensible, and MIT-licensed. It's ripe for contributions—PRs for new fields or features welcome!
