Simple and extensible admin interface framework for Flask
Project description
The project was recently moved into its own organization. Please update your references to git@github.com:flask-admin/flask-admin.git.
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
pymongo and
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.
