## Intro

> In the past half year, I have been building a backend for management dashboard using Vue. Though the backend has contained greater than 70 pages and over 10 permissions, it still takes insignificant effort to maintain the project. So I decide to make it open source so as to share my development experience and progress on backend. The tech stack is mainly [Vue.js](https://github.com/vuejs/vue)+[Element](https://github.com/ElemeFE/element)+[axios](https://github.com/mzabriskie/axios). Since it's a personal project, all data requests are simulated with [Mock.js](https://github.com/nuysoft/Mock). **Note:** if anyone wants to modify or develop based on this project, please remove the mock files.

**Live demo:** http://panjiachen.github.io/vue-element-admin

**Note: element-ui@1.3.3 is used in the project, so vue 2.3.0+ is required.**

More tutorials incoming. Including articles on:

- How to build structure of a backend dashboard project from scratch
- How to make a complete user system (e.g. permission authentication, two-factor authentication)
- How to package components (e.g. rich text)
- How to integrate with [Qiniu](https://www.qiniu.com/)
- Other development experience on backend
