Flask Framework Cookbook - Second Edition

How to do it...

Adding a simple admin interface to any Flask application using the Flask-Admin extension is just a matter of a couple of statements:

1. Simply add the following lines to the application's configuration in my_app/__init__.py:

from flask_admin import Admin 
 
app = Flask(__name__) 
 
# Add any other application configuration 
 
admin = Admin(app) 

2. You can also add your own views to this; this is as simple as adding a new class as a new view that inherits from the BaseView class, as shown in the following code block. This code block goes in auth/views.py:

from flask_admin import BaseView, expose 
 
class HelloView(BaseView): 
    @expose('/') 
    def index(self): 
        return self.render('some-template.html') 

After this, add this view to the admin object ...
