- Unzip the downloaded archive
- Copy and paste argon-dashboard-pro-laravel-master folder in your projects folder. Rename the folder to your project's name
- In your terminal run
composer install
- Copy
.env.example
to.env
and updated the configurations (mainly the database configuration: database name, user name and password, set the APP_URL to the right path) - In your terminal run
php artisan key:generate
- Run
php artisan migrate --seed
to create the database tables and seed the roles and users tables - Run
php artisan storage:link
to create the storage symlink (if you are using Vagrant with Homestead for development, remember to ssh into your virtual machine and run the command from there).
Register a user or login with the default users with different roles from your database and start testing (make sure to run the migrations and seeders for these credentials to be available):
- admin@argon.com and password secret
- creator@argon.com and password secret
- member@argon.com and password secret
Besides the numerous types of dashboard, you can find pages for editing your profile, pages for managing the users, the roles, the items, the categories and the tags. There are also static pages for profile, for users, for projects, for accounts, for various applications, for ecommerce and different styles of pages for authentication. All the necessary files are installed out of the box and all the needed routes are added to routes/web.php
. Keep in mind that all of the features can be viewed once you login using the credentials provided or by registering your own user.

The documentation for the Material Dashboard Laravel is hosted at our website.
If you are not logged in you can only access this page or the Sign Up page. The default url takes you to the login page where you use the default credentials admin@argon.com with the password secret but you can change them with the credentials for creator and for member. Logging in is possible only with already existing credentials. For this to work you should have run the migrations. The user also has the option to choose if he wants to be remembered or not.
The App/Http/Controllers/App/LoginController.php
handles the logging in of an existing user.
public function login(Request $request)
{
$credentials = $request->validate([
'email' => ['required', 'email'],
'password' => ['required'],
]);
if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password])) {
$request->session()->regenerate();
return redirect()->intended('/');
}
return back()->withErrors([
'email' => 'The provided credentials do not match our records.',
]);
}
You can register as a user by filling in the name, email, role and password for your account. For your role you can choose between the Admin, Creator and Member. It is important to know that an admin user has access to all the pages and actions, can delete, add and edit another users, other roles, items, tags or categories; a creator user has acces to category, tag and item management, but can not add, edit or delete other users; a member user has access to the item management but can not take any actions. You can do this by accessing the sign up page from the "Sign Up" button in the top navbar or by clicking the "Sign Up" button from the bottom of the log in form. Another simple way is adding /register in the url.
The App/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php
handles the registration of a new user.
$user = User::create([
'firstname' => $attributes['firstname'],
'email' => $attributes['email'],
'role_id' => $attributes['role'],
'password' => $attributes['password']
]);
auth()->login($user);
If a user forgets the account's password it is possible to reset the password. For this the user should click on the "here" under the login form.
The App/Http/Controllers/Auth/ResetPassword.php
takes care of sending an email to the user where he can reset the password afterwards.
public function send(Request $request)
{
$email = $request->validate([
'email' => ['required']
]);
$user = User::where('email', $email)->first();
if ($user) {
$this->notify(new RecoverPassword($user->id));
return back()->with('succes', 'An email was send to your email address');
}
}
The user who forgot the password gets an email on the account's email address. The user can access the reset password page by clicking the button found in the email. The link for resetting the password is available for 12 hours. The user must add the new password and confirm the password for his password to be updated. The user is redirected to the login page.
The App/Http/Controllers/Auth/ChangePassword.php
helps the user reset the password.
if ($existingUser) {
$existingUser->update([
'password' => $attributes['password']
]);
return redirect('login');
} else {
return back()->with('error', 'Your email does not match the email who requested the password change');
}
The profile can be accessed by a logged in user by clicking "User Profile" from the sidebar or adding /user-profile in the url. The user can add information like phone number, location or change name, email and password.
The App/Http/Controllers/UserController.php
handles the user's profile information.
$user = User::create([
'firstname' => $request->get('firstname'),
'lastname' => $request->get('lastname'),
'password' => $request->get('password'),
'role_id' => $request->get('role'),
'email' => $request->get('email'),
'gender' => $request->get('gender'),
'location' => $request->get('location'),
'phone' => $request->get('phone'),
'language' => $request->get('language'),
'birthday' => $birthday,
'skills' => $request->get('skills')
]);
if($request->file('avatar')) {
$user->update([
'avatar' => $request->file('avatar')->store('/', 'avatars')
]);
}
}
