Dashboards, e-commerce, charts, forms, tables, auth…
100% vanilla ES6+ JavaScript
v5.3.8 — fully responsive grid
Free for commercial use
Built around design tokens, not framework defaults
v4 is a ground-up rewrite. Bootstrap is gone, jQuery is gone, and the entire UI runs off a single CSS-variable design system. Every component you see is custom, theme-aware, and 85% smaller than v3.
Dark by design
Nalika ships a sleek dark UI on a #152036 canvas, driven by CSS custom properties (--nk-*). Every CDN plugin is themed to match, with native dark form controls via color-scheme.
Bootstrap 5.3.8, zero jQuery
Rebuilt from Bootstrap 3 to 5.3.8 with every plugin replaced and all interactivity rewritten as modular vanilla ES6+ JavaScript. No jQuery anywhere.
Charts & data viz
ApexCharts and Chart.js 4 power interactive dashboards — bar, line, area, rounded, sparkline, and mixed graphs, all wired up and ready to point at your data.
Complete UI kit
Accordions, alerts, buttons, modals, tabs, notifications, and widgets — every Bootstrap 5 component restyled for the dark theme, each documented on its own page.
Tables, forms & editors
Simple-DataTables, Tom Select, Quill, Dropzone, CodeMirror, and native HTML5 pickers handle data and input — without a single jQuery plugin.
CDN-only, no build step
Every dependency loads from jsDelivr. No node_modules, no compilation, no package manager — open any HTML file in a browser and it just works.
Every page you'll actually need on day one
Eight headline pages with real, working integrations — and ten more for the boring-but-essential surfaces every admin app needs.

KPI cards, an interactive product-sales chart, and live traffic widgets on a dark canvas
Charts
ApexCharts and Chart.js examples — line, area, and gradient graphs
