Mastering Flask Web Development - Second Edition

Creating basic admin pages

The BaseView class allows normal Flask pages to be added to your admin interface. This is normally the least used type of view in Flask Admin setups, but if you wish to include something like custom reporting with JavaScript charting libraries, you can do it with a base view alone. As expected, we are going to define our views in the admin/controllers.py file:

from flask.ext.admin import BaseView, expose 
 
class CustomView(BaseView): 
    @expose('/')    @login_required    @has_role('admin')
    def index(self): 
        return self.render('admin/custom.html') 
 
    @expose('/second_page')    @login_required    @has_role('admin')
    def second_page(self):
        return self.render('admin/second_page.html')
