FastAPI Admin Kit

A drop-in admin panel for FastAPI + SQLAlchemy apps.

Features

  • Zero-Config Auto-Discovery — Register a model, get full CRUD UI automatically
  • Built-in Auth & RBAC — Session-based auth with role-based permissions per model
  • Audit Logging — Every create, update, and delete is recorded with full diffs
  • Modern UI — Tailwind CSS, HTMX, and Alpine.js for a fast, responsive experience
  • Fully Customizable — Override widgets, templates, routes, and behavior via protocols
  • Global Search / Command Palette — Press ⌘K / Ctrl+K to instantly search models and fields
  • Inline Editing — Edit records directly from the list view with a 3-dot action menu

Quick Example

from fastapi import FastAPI
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, Float
from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
from fastapi_admin_kit import Admin

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

class Product(Base):
    __tablename__ = "products"
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(100), nullable=False)
    price = Column(Float, nullable=False)

app = FastAPI()
admin = Admin(app, prefix="/admin")
admin.register(Product)

That's it — you now have a full admin panel at /admin/products/ with list, create, edit, and delete views.
