Brilliance Admin provides

A quick way to create a data management interface using:

• Admin page - endpoint with a prebuilt SPA frontend Vue3 + Vuetify
  This endpoint can be added to any ASGI compatable backend. For existing project or standalone admin app.
• API to fetch the UI JSON schema
• API methods for that UI to work with (to read and modify data)

Key ideas

• API Oriented
  Data generation/updating API separated from rendering fontend with zero hardcode, this makes it possible to have a single frontend with multiple backend implementations in different languages and makes test coverage easier.
• Rich visualization
  Providing rich and convenient ways to display and manage data (tables, charts, etc) from any data source.
• UI JSON Schema
  Represents the data describing the structure of entire admin panel UI.
  You only need to specify what should be rendered. The frontend will display it and automatically request data from the backend for rendering or updates.
• ORM
  Automatic generation from ORM for schema UI frontend and backend methods for CRUD operations.
• Minimal boilerplate
  Focused on simplified, but rich configuration.

Features

• Tables with full CRUD support, including filtering, sorting, and pagination.
• Ability to define custom table actions with forms, response messages, and file downloads.
• Graphs via ChartJS
• Localization support
• Adapted for different screen sizes and mobile devices
• Auth via any account data source

Integrations:

• SQLAlchemy - schema autogeneration for tables + CRUD operations + authorization

Planned:

• Dashboard features
• Role-based access permissions system via interface
• Backend interface for storing and viewing action history in the admin interface
• Nested data support for creation and detail views (inline editing), nested CRUD workflows
• Django ORM integration
• Support for Oauth providers

Installation:

pip install brilliance-admin

Usage example

You need to generate AdminSchema instance:

from brilliance_admin import schema


class CategoryExample(schema.CategoryTable):
    "Implementation of get_list and retrieve; update and create are optional"


admin_schema = schema.AdminSchema(
    title='Admin Panel',
    auth=YourAdminAuthentication(),
    categories=[
        schema.Category(
            slug='example',
            categories=[
                CategoryExample(),
            ]
        ),
    ],
)

admin_app = admin_schema.generate_app()

# Your FastAPI app (Any ASGI framework can be used)
app = FastAPI()
app.mount('/admin', admin_app)

Comparison of Similar Projects

The project closest in concept is React Admin.
It is an SPA frontend that store the schema UI inside and works with separate API backend providers.

The key difference of Brilliance Admin is that its all-in-one.
It is more focused on rapid setup for data management, without the need to work with frontend configuration, while it still available.
