starlette-admin

Fast, beautiful, and extensible administrative interface framework for Starlette & FastApi applications

why starlette-admin?

FastAPI has emerged as a popular web framework for building APIs in Python. However, it lacks a mature admin interface solution like Flask-Admin to quickly manage your data through a user-friendly interface. Although solutions like Sqladmin and Fastapi-Admin exist, they only work with specific ORMs such as SQLAlchemy and Tortoise ORM.

Starlette-admin was born from the need for a FastAPI admin interface that works with various data layer. It aims to provide a complete solution for CRUD interfaces regardless of the database backend. Starlette-admin works out of the box with multiple ORM/ODMs and can also be used with a custom data layer.

Base = declarative_base()
engine = create_engine("sqlite:///test.db", connect_args={"check_same_thread": False})


# Define your model
class Post(Base):
    __tablename__ = "posts"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    title: Mapped[str]


Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

app = Starlette()  # FastAPI()
