Configuration

All configuration lives in config/adminlte.php, published by php artisan adminlte:install (or vendor:publish --tag=adminlte-config). Every key is documented inline in the file; the most-used ones are summarised below.

A real example

<?php

return [
    'title' => 'My Admin',
    'title_prefix' => '',
    'title_postfix' => ' | My App',

    'logo' => '<b>My</b>Admin',
    'logo_img' => 'vendor/adminlte/img/AdminLTELogo.png',
    'logo_img_alt' => 'My Admin Logo',

    // Layout toggles (null = leave the body class off)
    'layout_fixed_sidebar' => true,   // .layout-fixed
    'layout_fixed_navbar' => true,    // .fixed-header
    'layout_fixed_footer' => null,    // .fixed-footer
    'layout_rtl' => false,

    // Sidebar
    'sidebar_mini' => true,
    'sidebar_collapse' => false,
    'sidebar_breakpoint' => 'lg',     // sidebar-expand-{breakpoint}
    'sidebar_theme' => 'dark',        // 'dark' | 'light'
    'sidebar_docs_url' => '/docs',

    'color_mode_toggle' => true,
    'usermenu_enabled' => true,

    'footer_left' => 'Copyright &copy; 2026 My Company',
    'footer_right' => 'Version <b>1.0</b>',

    'menu' => [
        ['header' => 'MAIN'],
        ['text' => 'Dashboard', 'route' => 'dashboard', 'icon' => 'bi bi-speedometer'],
    ],
];

Title & branding

Key	Default	Purpose
`title`	`'AdminLTE 4'`	Default page title when no `@section('title')` is set.
`title_prefix` / `title_postfix`	`''`	Strings prepended / appended to every page title.
`logo`	`'<b>Admin</b>LTE'`	Sidebar brand text — rendered as raw HTML (`{!! !!}`).
`logo_img`	`'vendor/adminlte/img/AdminLTELogo.png'`	Brand logo image path.
`logo_img_class` / `logo_img_alt`	`'brand-image …'` / `'AdminLTE Logo'`	Logo image classes and `alt` text.

Layout toggles

Body-level switches that map to AdminLTE 4 body classes. A value of null leaves the class off.

Key	Default	Body class
`layout_topnav`	`null`	`.layout-top-nav` (no sidebar)
`layout_boxed`	`null`	`.layout-boxed`
`layout_fixed_sidebar`	`true`	`.layout-fixed`
`layout_fixed_navbar`	`true`	`.fixed-header`
`layout_fixed_footer`	`null`	`.fixed-footer`
`layout_dark_mode`	`null`	Force dark mode (`null` respects the toggle)
`layout_rtl`	`false`	Right-to-left layout

Sidebar & topbar

Key	Default	Purpose
`sidebar_breakpoint`	`'lg'`	Breakpoint at which the sidebar expands.
`sidebar_mini`	`true`	Enable the collapsible mini (icon-only) sidebar.
`sidebar_collapse`	`false`	Start the sidebar collapsed.
`sidebar_theme`	`'dark'`	Sidebar color theme: `'dark'` or `'light'`.
`sidebar_docs_url`	`'/docs'`	"View documentation" CTA URL; set `false` to hide it.
`color_mode_toggle`	`true`	Show the Light / Dark / Auto dropdown in the topbar.
`usermenu_enabled`	`true`	Show the user dropdown in the topbar.
`control_sidebar`	`false`	Enable the right-hand control sidebar panel.
`preloader`	`false`	Show a full-page preloader on load.

Footer, demo & in-app docs

footer_left / footer_right — rendered as raw HTML; only put trusted, hardcoded markup here.
demo (true) registers the bundled showcase routes; demo_middleware defaults to ['web', 'auth']. Set demo => false in production.
docs (true) serves the package docs inside your app at /docs; docs_middleware defaults to ['web'].

Plugins, filters & menu

The plugins, filters and menu arrays are documented on their own pages: see Charts & Plugins and Menu & Sidebar.

logo, footer_left and footer_right are output unescaped ({!! !!}) so they can hold markup like <b> for the two-tone brand effect. Never feed them user-supplied or database-driven content.
