Actix Admin

The actix-admin crate aims at creating a web admin interface similar to other admin interfaces (such as flask-admin in python).

Getting Started

See the example.
See the step by step tutorial

Features

Async, builds on sea-orm for the database backend
Macros, generate the required implementations for models automatically
Authentication, optionally pass authentication handler to implement authentication for views
Supports custom validation rules
Searchable attributes can be specified
Supports a custom index view

// 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 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/.
