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 <http://flask.pocoo.org/>`_ 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 <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/>`_,

- `MongoEngine <http://mongoengine.org/>`_,

- `pymongo <http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/>`_ and

- `Peewee <https://github.com/coleifer/peewee>`_.

It also boasts a simple file management interface and a `redis client <http://redis.io/>`_ 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 <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
-------------
Flask-Admin is extensively documented, you can find all of the documentation at `https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ <https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.

The docs are auto-generated from the *.rst* files in the */doc* folder. So if you come across any errors, or
if you think of anything else that should be included, then please make the changes and submit them as a *pull-request*.

To build the docs in your local environment, from the project directory::

    pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    sudo make html

And if you want to preview any *.rst* snippets that you may want to contribute, go to `http://rst.ninjs.org/ <http://rst.ninjs.org/>`_.
