Dashboard UI with Vite JS and TailwindCSS
In this article, we will explore how to create a Dashboard UI using Vite JS, TailwindCSS, and Charts with Animations.
Getting Started
First, let’s set up a new Vite JS project and install TailwindCSS:
npx create-vite@latest my-dashboard-app
cd my-dashboard-app
npm install -D tailwindcss@latest postcss@latest autoprefixer@latest
npx tailwindcss init -pNext, let’s create a new HTML file and link to the TailwindCSS styles:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link href="./styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
<title>Dashboard UI</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="flex justify-center items-center h-screen bg-gray-100">
<h1 class="text-4xl font-bold text-gray-800">Dashboard UI</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Adding Charts with Animations
Now, let’s add some charts to our Dashboard UI using a library like Chart.js. First, we need to install Chart.js:
npm install chart.js@latestThen, we can create a new JavaScript file to initialize the charts and add animations:
// main.js
import Chart from 'chart.js/auto';
const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
const myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Revenue',
data: [500, 800, 900, 700, 600, 400, 300],
backgroundColor: 'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
borderColor: 'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
borderWidth: 1
}]
},
options: {
plugins: {
animation: {
duration: 2000,
easing: 'easeInOutElastic'
}
}
}
});Conclusion
By combining Vite JS, TailwindCSS, and Charts with Animations, we can create a beautiful and interactive Dashboard UI for our web applications. With the power of modern web technologies, we can easily build dynamic and engaging user interfaces that provide valuable insights and data visualization.
