Gino: Any options for admin panel?

Created on 19 Mar 2018 · 5Comments · Source: python-gino/gino

Are there any options of auto-generated admin panel for gino models? I tried to use gino models on Flask-admin, but had no luck with it (_sa_instance_state_manager attribute was missing).

Oh yes, we used Flask-Admin in one of our project with GINO. The trick is to replace gino.Gino with flask_sqlalchemy.SQLAlchemy, thanks to duck typing. Here's the code:

import os

if os.environ.get('FLASK_APP')
    from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
    db = SQLAlchemy()
else:
    from gino.ext.sanic import Gino
    db = Gino()


def init_app(app):
    from . import accounting, deposit, product, timeline, user

    db.init_app(app)

As you can see, I used environment variable FLASK_APP to find out if current process is a Flask-Admin server or a Sanic API server. You can replace it with whatever suits you. Then you can use ModelView of Flask-Admin to make it work. However this is very hacky and may break at any time, please be noted. Good luck!

Also I'm planning to build such a admin console with GINO, GraphQL and Vue.js. But that is a long story.
