Note: For zsh and macos use: pip install fastadmin[fastapi,django]

pip install fastadmin[fastapi,django]  # for fastapi with django orm
pip install fastadmin[fastapi,tortoise-orm]  # for fastapi with tortoise orm
pip install fastadmin[fastapi,pony]  # for fastapi with pony orm
pip install fastadmin[fastapi,sqlalchemy]  # for fastapi with sqlalchemy orm
pip install fastadmin[django]  # for django with django orm
pip install fastadmin[django,pony]  # for django with pony orm
pip install fastadmin[flask,sqlalchemy]  # for flask with sqlalchemy

Install the package using poetry:

poetry add 'fastadmin[fastapi,django]'  # for fastapi with django orm
poetry add 'fastadmin[fastapi,tortoise-orm]'  # for fastapi with tortoise orm
poetry add 'fastadmin[fastapi,pony]'  # for fastapi with pony orm
poetry add 'fastadmin[fastapi,sqlalchemy]'  # for fastapi with sqlalchemy orm
poetry add 'fastadmin[django]'  # for django with django orm
poetry add 'fastadmin[django,pony]'  # for django with pony orm
poetry add 'fastadmin[flask,sqlalchemy]'  # for flask with sqlalchemy

Configure required settings using virtual environment variables:

Note: You can add these variables to .env and use python-dotenv to load them. See all settings here

export ADMIN_USER_MODEL=User
export ADMIN_USER_MODEL_USERNAME_FIELD=username
export ADMIN_SECRET_KEY=secret_key

Quick Tutorial

Setup FastAdmin for a framework

FastAPI

from fastapi import FastAPI

from fastadmin import fastapi_app as admin_app

app = FastAPI()

app.mount("/admin", admin_app)

Django

from django.urls import path

from fastadmin import get_django_admin_urls as get_admin_urls
from fastadmin.settings import settings

urlpatterns = [
    path(f"{settings.ADMIN_PREFIX}/", get_admin_urls()),
]

Flask

from flask import Flask

from fastadmin import flask_app as admin_app

app = Flask(__name__)

app.register_blueprint(admin_app, url_prefix="/admin")

Register ORM models

Tortoise ORM

from uuid import UUID

import bcrypt
from tortoise import fields
from tortoise.models import Model

from fastadmin import TortoiseModelAdmin, register


class User(Model):
    username = fields.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    hash_password = fields.CharField(max_length=255)
    is_superuser = fields.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_active = fields.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.username


@register(User)
class UserAdmin(TortoiseModelAdmin):
    exclude = ("hash_password",)
    list_display = ("id", "username", "is_superuser", "is_active")
    list_display_links = ("id", "username")
    list_filter = ("id", "username", "is_superuser", "is_active")
    search_fields = ("username",)

    async def authenticate(self, username: str, password: str) -> UUID | int | None:
        user = await User.filter(username=username, is_superuser=True).first()
        if not user:
            return None
        if not bcrypt.checkpw(password.encode(), user.hash_password.encode()):
            return None
        return user.id

Django ORM

from django.db import models

from fastadmin import DjangoModelAdmin, register


class User(models.Model):
    username = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    hash_password = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.username


@register(User)
class UserAdmin(DjangoModelAdmin):
    exclude = ("hash_password",)
    list_display = ("id", "username", "is_superuser", "is_active")
    list_display_links = ("id", "username")
    list_filter = ("id", "username", "is_superuser", "is_active")
    search_fields = ("username",)

    def authenticate(self, username, password):
        obj = User.objects.filter(username=username, is_superuser=True).first()
        if not obj:
            return None
        if not obj.check_password(password):
            return None
        return obj.id

SQL Alchemy

import bcrypt
from sqlalchemy import Boolean, Integer, String, select
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import async_sessionmaker, create_async_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped, mapped_column

from fastadmin import SqlAlchemyModelAdmin, register

    def __str__(self):

                return None
            return user.id

Pony ORM

import bcrypt
from pony.orm import Database, PrimaryKey, Required, db_session

from fastadmin import PonyORMModelAdmin, register

db = Database()
db.bind(provider="sqlite", filename=":memory:", create_db=True)


class User(db.Entity):  # type: ignore [name-defined]

    search_fields = ("username",)

    @db_session
    def authenticate(self, username, password):
        user = next((f for f in self.model_cls.select(username=username, password=password, is_superuser=True)), None)
        if not user:
