Full Laravel Demo 1
Hello Keenthemes team,
I hope you’re doing well.
I’m reaching out regarding the Laravel version of Metronic 8.
I’ve downloaded the package **metronic_laravel_v8.3.2.zip** from your official Google Drive link (the same as the one available at https://devs.keenthemes.com/metronic/laravel/demo1/download).
However, after installing and testing it on our Laravel 11 setup, it appears that this package contains only the **Starter Kit**, not the **Full Laravel Demo 1** version.
Here’s what we observed:
- The package includes only a few functional pages (Login, Dashboard, Roles, Permissions),
but some of them generate errors (for example, the Users page loads infinitely, Logout doesn’t work properly, etc.).
- The folder structure suggests it’s a lightweight starter template, not the full-featured Demo 1 equivalent of the HTML version.
- We also tested integrating it with the **HTML Demo 1** layout, but that results in many missing route/controller references and incomplete Livewire components.
For reference, our local environment is:
- Laravel 11.35.1 (PHP 8.3)
- PostgreSQL 15
- Node 20 / npm 10
- The theme builds correctly (assets compile fine), but many UI features don’t have backend logic.
We would like to request access to the **Full Laravel Demo 1** package —
the same one that matches all the pages and functionality from the HTML Demo 1 version (with all routes, controllers, and CRUD modules).
This will help us continue our project properly (NextServer SaaS platform) using the official and complete Laravel implementation.
Thank you very much for your help and support.
We really appreciate your work on Metronic!

To bring up the starterkit, looks like you don't need the demo classes. Here is what I did to start it:
- Follow the instructions for installation at
https://preview.keenthemes.com/laravel/metronic/docs/getting-started
- In config/settings.php, use the default classes and layout:
'KT_THEME_BOOTSTRAP' => [
# 'default' => \App\Core\Bootstrap\Metronic\Demo1\BootstrapDefault::class,
# 'auth' => \App\Core\Bootstrap\Metronic\Demo1\BootstrapAuth::class,
# 'system' => \App\Core\Bootstrap\Metronic\Demo1\BootstrapSystem::class,
'default' => \App\Core\Bootstrap\BootstrapDefault::class,
'auth' => \App\Core\Bootstrap\BootstrapAuth::class,
'system' => \App\Core\Bootstrap\BootstrapSystem::class,
],
....
#'KT_THEME_LAYOUT_DIR' => 'layout/metronic/demo1',
'KT_THEME_LAYOUT_DIR' => 'layout',
- Finally, point your URL to the login route: mywebsite.com/login
Hope this helps.
Also in routes/web.php, remove comments to forward to the login screen:
Line 21: // Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->group(function () {
Line 21: Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->group(function () {
Line 33: // });
Line 33: });
Hi
The metronic_laravel_v8.3.2.zip package you downloaded is the Starter Kit version, not a full Demo 1 equivalent. This is the current offering for Metronic Laravel integration. The package includes: Dashboard, User Management, Role Management, Permission Management, and Authentication. Only core admin functionality, not the comprehensive feature set of HTML Demo 1
It's designed as a starter kit to provide a foundation for developers to build upon.
For additional features from HTML Demo 1:
- Copy HTML components from the HTML version
- Create corresponding Blade templates
- Implement backend controllers and routes
- Adapt JavaScript functionality as needed
You had a complete demo for v7. What has changed?
How unfortunate is this? You have so many demos and haven't implemented it even one for this version?
