Ant Design Pro vs go-admin

Ant Design Pro

• Developers building internal admin dashboards or back-office tools in React
• Teams who want to start from Ant Design components and page templates
• Developers who want a mock data setup for building screens before a backend exists
• Teams that want a starting point with built-in tests and a lint workflow

go-admin

• Go developers who want a ready-made admin backend with login and permissions
• Teams building an internal management tool who want a Vue front end with a UI library they already use
• Students or learners studying how a Gin + GORM + Vue admin system is structured
• Developers who want a code generator to scaffold basic create/read/update/delete pages from database tables

Ant Design Pro

• Ships with many common enterprise page templates, so the starting layout is largely done
• Built on Ant Design and Umi Max, with TypeScript throughout
• Includes mock development, i18n, and unit and e2e test setup as described in the README

go-admin

• Covers common admin needs out of the box, including RBAC, JWT authentication and operation logs
• Supports multiple database backends through GORM and offers a SQLite quick start with no separate database install
• Offers a choice of three front-end UI libraries and has a documentation site and video tutorials

Ant Design Pro

• People who are not comfortable with React, TypeScript, or the command line, since setup and customization assume developer skills
• Projects that do not use Ant Design or React, because the template is built around both
• Teams that need very small static sites, since the template ships with a large set of pages and dependencies

go-admin

• People who want a no-code tool; the project requires running a Go backend and a Node front end
• Projects that need proven test coverage, since the README lists unit tests as a TODO
• Non-technical users who only want a finished app to use without any setup

Ant Design Pro

• The README is short on detail for each template, so you will need to read the code and docs to learn how pieces fit together
• The simple-version command deletes files permanently and cannot be undone
• Targets modern browsers only, as listed in the README

go-admin

• The README lists unit tests as a TODO, so the code has limited automated test coverage as stated
• Setup involves two separate repositories (backend and UI), a Go toolchain, Node.js and pnpm, and the SQLite path needs a C compiler
• Documentation and tutorials are primarily in Chinese; the English README is brief
