Why this one?
Most free admin starters are either a screenshot with half the code missing, or
a decade of jQuery in a trench coat. Ordexa Lite is the actual core of a
commercial template — same architecture, same code quality, no strings:
- ⚡ Current stack, no legacy — Next.js 16 App Router, React 19, Tailwind
CSS v4 (CSS-token theming), shadcn/ui, TanStack Table v8.
- 🧭 Config-driven navigation — the sidebar and the ⌘K command menu
render from one typed config file. Add a page, add one entry, done.
- 📊 Charts you can trust — the palette is colorblind-validated (CVD ΔE
checks on adjacent pairs), tuned separately for light and dark.
- 🧱 A DataTable worth reusing — strictly typed generics on TanStack v8,
sorting wired up, drop in your own columns.
- 🌗 Dark mode done right — class-based, flash-free, every token designed
for both themes.
- 🛡️ Strict TypeScript + JSDoc on everything, zero TODOs, and mock data
whose types double as your API contract.
Quickstart
git clone https://github.com/tovrr/ordexa-lite
cd ordexa-lite
npm install
npm run dev
Open http://localhost:3000. No env vars, no external
services — it just runs.
Customizing
| Change | Where |
|---|
| Branding (name, links) | config/site.ts |
| Navigation & ⌘K menu | config/menu.ts — typed links, badges, collapsible groups |
| Colors, radius, charts | app/globals.css — every token, Tailwind v4, no config file |
| Demo data → your API | lib/mock-data.ts — keep the exported types as your contract |
| New page | Create app/(dashboard)/your-page/page.tsx, add one menu entry |
Lite vs. Pro — the smart-choice table
Lite is genuinely useful on its own. When your project grows past one
dashboard, Ordexa Pro is the same
architecture with the rest of the app already built — buying it is cheaper
than one afternoon of your time:
| Lite (free) | Pro |
|---|
| E-commerce dashboard | ✅ | ✅ |
| SaaS dashboard + Analytics page | — | ✅ |
| Orders / Products / Customers management | — | ✅ |
| DataTable: search, faceted filters, pagination, column toggle | — | ✅ |
| Auth: register, forgot & reset password | login only | ✅ |
| Settings (react-hook-form + Zod cookbook) | — | ✅ |
| Pricing, printable invoice, profile pages | — | ✅ |
| 4 switchable brand presets | — | ✅ |
| Full RTL with live toggle | — | ✅ |
