CoreUI Admin Template

#Vue

Not long ago, one of our customers, let’s call him Tony asked us:

could you please create a demo page showing how CoreUI can connect to a #MySQL DB and load dynamic content on some of the pages in your latest version?

Two answers came into our mind:

· Hell no: CoreUI is frontend expert, we don’t care about the backend!

· Double hell no: querying a database from the front end is a bad idea!

Basing on that… we decided (not to ;)) HELP the customer  Not only because we like to help our friends (check out: community.coreui.io) but also, as our friend Tony said: we want CoreUI to be a great admin panel:

can you explain where one would connect to make the application data-driven? I need dynamic menus, want to make data-based charts, etc. You can’t make a great admin panel and not have a recommendation how/where to add DB connectivity

So here it is — we needed to help ;) If you take a look at this project:

This shows how you can use our #admin #panel with #backend
