Installation
pip install Flask-Dashed
Minimal usage
Code:
from flask import Flask
from flask_dashed.admin import Admin
app = Flask(__name__)
admin = Admin(app)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
Sample application: http://github.com/jeanphix/flask-dashed-demo
Deal with security
Securing all module endpoints:
from flask import session
book_module = admin.register_module(BookModule, '/books', 'books',
'book management')
@book_module.secure(http_code=401)
def login_required():
return "user" in session
Securing specific module endpoint:
@book_module.secure_endpoint('edit', http_code=403)
def check_edit_credential(view):
# I'm now signed in, may I modify the ressource?
return session.user.can_edit_book(view.object)
Organize modules
As admin nodes are registered into a "tree" it's quite easy to organize them.:
library = admin.register_node('/library', 'library', my library)
book_module = admin.register_module(BookModule, '/books', 'books',
'book management', parent=library)
Navigation and breadcrumbs are automatically builds to feet your needs. Child module security will be inherited from parent one.
SQLALchemy extension
Code:
from flask_dashed.ext.sqlalchemy import ModelAdminModule
class BookModule(ModelAdminModule):
model = Book
db_session = db.session
book_module = admin.register_module(BookModule, '/books', 'books',
'book management')
