Toolpad
[Not actively maintained] Toolpad: Full stack components and low-code builder for dashboards and internal apps.
Overview
Toolpad Core is a collection of high-level React components designed to simplify the process of building and maintaining dashboards and internal tools by abstracting common concepts such as layout, navigation, and routing. It is built on top of Material UI. Toolpad Studio, on the other hand, is a self-hosted low-code admin builder meant to extend the Toolpad Core components and cater to developers looking to save time while building internal applications. Even though Toolpad is still in its beta stages, users are encouraged to run the application, provide feedback, report bugs, and make feature requests.

- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Dashboard
A dashboard style website template is a pre-designed layout that features a user interface resembling a control panel or dashboard. It typically includes charts, graphs, tables, and other data visualization tools that allow users to monitor and analyze data in real-time.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Zod
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
