Quickstart

Let's define an example SQLAlchemy model:

from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base


Base = declarative_base()
engine = create_engine(
    "sqlite:///example.db",
    connect_args={"check_same_thread": False},
)


class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String)


Base.metadata.create_all(engine)  # Create tables

If you want to use SQLAdmin with FastAPI:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from sqladmin import Admin, ModelView


app = FastAPI()
admin = Admin(app, engine)


class UserAdmin(ModelView, model=User):
    column_list = [User.id, User.name]


admin.add_view(UserAdmin)

Or if you want to use SQLAdmin with Starlette:

from sqladmin import Admin, ModelView
from starlette.applications import Starlette


app = Starlette()
admin = Admin(app, engine)


class UserAdmin(ModelView, model=User):
    column_list = [User.id, User.name]


admin.add_view(UserAdmin)

Now visiting /admin on your browser you can see the SQLAdmin interface.
