# Actix Admin
The actix-admin crate aims at creating a web admin interface similar to other admin interfaces (such as [flask-admin ](https://github.com/flask-admin/flask-admin ) in python).
## Getting Started
2022-10-11 18:54:45 +02:00
* See the [example ](https://github.com/mgugger/actix-admin/tree/main/example ) and run with ```cargo run```.
2022-09-07 14:38:21 +02:00
* See the step by [step tutorial ](https://github.com/mgugger/actix-admin/tree/main/example/StepbyStep.md )

## Features
2022-10-11 18:54:45 +02:00
1. Async: Builds on [sea-orm ](https://crates.io/crates/sea-orm ) for the database backend
2. Macros: Generate the required implementations for models automatically
3. Authentication: optionally pass authentication handler to implement authentication for views
2022-09-07 14:38:21 +02:00
4. Supports custom validation rules
5. Searchable attributes can be specified
2022-10-11 18:54:45 +02:00
6. Supports custom views which are added to the Navbar

## Quick overview
### Required dependencies
itertools = "0.10.3"
sea-orm = { version = "^0.9.1", features = [ "sqlx-sqlite", "runtime-actix-native-tls", "macros" ], default-features = true }
actix_admin = { version = "^0.1.0" }

use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use actix_admin::prelude::*;
use actix_web::web;
use actix_web::App;
use actix_web::HttpServer;
use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;

use actix_admin::prelude::*;
// 1. Import ActixAdmin
use actix_admin::prelude::*;
// 2. Use DeriveActixAmin* Macros to implement the traits for the model
#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, DeriveEntityModel, Deserialize, Serialize,
DeriveActixAdmin, DeriveActixAdminModel, DeriveActixAdminViewModel
)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "comment")]
pub struct Model {
#[sea_orm(primary_key)]
#[serde(skip_deserializing)]
#[actix_admin(primary_key)]
pub id: i32,
pub comment: String
}
impl ActixAdminModelValidationTrait< ActiveModel > for Entity {}
impl ActiveModelBehavior for ActiveModel {}
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, EnumIter, DeriveRelation)]
pub enum Relation { }
// 3. Add actix-admin to the AppState
#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct AppState {
pub db: DatabaseConnection,
pub actix_admin: ActixAdmin,
}
// 4. Implement the ActixAdminAppDataTrait for the AppState
impl ActixAdminAppDataTrait for AppState {
fn get_db(& self) -> & DatabaseConnection {
& self.db
}
fn get_actix_admin(& self) -> & ActixAdmin {
& self.actix_admin
}
}
// 5. Setup the actix admin configuration
pub fn create_actix_admin_builder() -> ActixAdminBuilder {
let comment_view_model = ActixAdminViewModel::from(Entity);
let configuration = ActixAdminConfiguration {
enable_auth: false,
user_is_logged_in: None,
login_link: None,
logout_link: None,
};
let mut admin_builder = ActixAdminBuilder::new(configuration);
admin_builder.add_entity::< AppState , Entity > (&comment_view_model);
admin_builder
}
// 6. Add to the actix app
let actix_admin = create_actix_admin_builder().get_actix_admin();
//let opt = ConnectOptions::new("sqlite::memory:".to_owned());
//let conn = sea_orm::Database::connect(opt).unwrap();
//let app_state = AppState {
// db: conn,
// actix_admin: actix_admin,
//};
HttpServer::new(move || {
App::new()
//.app_data(web::Data::new(app_state.clone()))
.service(
create_actix_admin_builder().get_scope::< AppState > ()
)
});
```
## Access
The admin interface will be available under /admin/.
