Fork of Flask-Admin for flaskpress

Flask-Admin

This is a clone of https://github.com/flask-admin/flask-admin for flaskpress.

Introduction

Flask-Admin is a batteries-included, simple-to-use Flask extension that lets you add admin interfaces to Flask applications. It is inspired by the django-admin package, but implemented in such a way that the developer has total control of the look, feel and functionality of the resulting application.

Out-of-the-box, Flask-Admin plays nicely with various ORM’s, including

• SQLAlchemy,

• MongoEngine,

• pymongo and

• Peewee.

It also boasts a simple file management interface and a redis client console.

The biggest feature of Flask-Admin is flexibility. It aims to provide a set of simple tools that can be used for building admin interfaces of any complexity. So, to start off with you can create a very simple application in no time, with auto-generated CRUD-views for each of your models. But then you can go further and customize those views & forms as the need arises.

Flask-Admin is an active project, well-tested and production ready.

Examples

Several usage examples are included in the /examples folder. Please feel free to add your own examples, or improve on some of the existing ones, and then submit them via GitHub as a pull-request.

You can see some of these examples in action at http://examples.flask-admin.org. To run the examples on your local environment, one at a time, do something like:

cd flask-admin
python examples/simple/app.py

Documentation
