Admin Panel¶

Shakti includes a built-in admin panel — better than Django's.

Setup¶

from shakti.admin import Admin
from app.models.post import Post
from shakti.auth.models import User

admin = Admin(db, auth, title="My Admin")
admin.register(Post,
    list_fields=["id", "title", "created_at"],
    search_fields=["title", "body"]
)
admin.register(User,
    list_fields=["id", "email", "username", "role"],
    search_fields=["email", "username"]
)
admin.init_app(app)

Visit http://localhost:8000/admin/

Login with any user that has role: "admin".

Features¶

Dark mode and light mode toggle
Search across any field
Paginated list views
Create, edit, delete records
CSV export on any model
Activity log (who did what)
Hover-reveal action buttons
Auto-dismiss flash messages
