Flask-MonoCrud

The Admin Model is a core component of the admin panel generator that provides a flexible framework for managing different resources within the admin panel. This documentation provides a detailed understanding of the Admin Model and its associated methods and attributes.

Class Structure

The Admin Model class serves as a base class for specific admin models, providing a set of common functionalities. It includes the following attributes and methods:

Attributes

menu_icon: Specifies the icon to be displayed for the admin model in the menu.
navigation_label: Specifies the label for the navigation item associated with the admin model.
preview_field: Indicates the field to be used for previewing records.
edit_field: Indicates the field to be used for editing records.
model_label: Specifies the label for the model. table_polling: Enables or disables table polling for real-time updates. Set it to True to enable table polling or False to disable it.
poll_interval: Specifies the polling interval in seconds. Adjust this value according to your requirements.`

Header Metrics

The get_header_metrics() method allows you to retrieve and render header metrics for the admin model. Use this method to display statistical information or key metrics related to the resource. Customize the implementation of this method to provide meaningful and relevant metrics.

Fillable Form Fields

The get_fillable() method returns a list of form components that are used for creating or editing records. Customize this method to define the form fields specific to the admin model. The form components can include text inputs, checkboxes, dropdowns, or any other relevant form elements.

Table Columns

The get_table_columns() method returns a list of table columns that define the presentation of records in the admin panel. Customize this method to specify the columns that should be displayed for the admin model. Each column can represent a specific attribute or property of the resource. Consider using appropriate column types, such as text columns, numeric columns, boolean columns, or date columns, depending on the nature of the data being displayed.

Related Resources

The get_relations() method allows you to define related resources for the admin model. Use this method to specify any resources that are associated with the current model. For example, if the admin model represents users, related resources could include roles, permissions, or user groups. Customize the implementation of this method to return the appropriate list of related resources.

Operations Hooks

The Admin Model provides hooks that allow you to perform operations before and after creating or editing records. These hooks enable you to modify or validate data before it is saved, as well as perform any additional actions required after the record is created or edited. Implement the before_create(), after_create(), before_edit(), and after_edit() methods to customize the behavior as needed.

Permissions

The Admin Model includes permission methods that determine user access privileges for various operations related to the admin model. Implement the permission methods such as can_list(), can_view(), can_edit(), can_create(), can_delete(), can_export(), can_import(), and can_filter() based on your specific authorization requirements. These methods should return True or False based on the user's permissions.

This technical documentation provides a comprehensive understanding of the Admin Model and its functionalities. Refer to this documentation when working with the admin panel generator to effectively manage resources within the admin panel.
