Umbral Admin

You declared your models to get a database. The admin is the receipt: mount one plugin and every model in every plugin you've installed grows a full back office — list views, search, combinable filters, relation pickers, bulk actions, an audit trail, and a dashboard you can shape with your own widgets. No scaffolding command, no generated files to maintain. It reads the same model metadata the ORM and migrations already use, so the admin is never out of sync with your schema.

Install

cargo add umbral-admin

Wire it up

Mount AdminPlugin after the plugins whose models you want to manage — it discovers everything registered before it.

use umbral::prelude::*;
use umbral_admin::AdminPlugin;

let app = App::builder()
    .database("default", pool)
    .plugin(BlogPlugin::default())   // your models
    .plugin(
        AdminPlugin::default()
            .site_title("Acme Admin".into()),
    )
    .build()?;

Visit /admin and sign in — every registered model is already there.

Target: a dashboard, not just tables

Group KPI cards, charts, and tables into named sections, and add bespoke analytics pages with .view(...).

use umbral_admin::{AdminPlugin, WidgetSection};

AdminPlugin::default()
    .site_title("Acme".into())
    .dashboard_section(
        WidgetSection::new("Overview")
            .subtitle("Headline counts")
            .widget(total_orders_card())
            .widget(revenue_chart()),
    )
    .view(reports_view());  // a custom page at /admin/custom-views/reports/

What you get

• List / create / edit / delete for every registered model
• Toolbar search plus combinable list_filter facets
• Async FK / M2M / O2O pickers with search-as-you-type
• Per-action view / add / change / delete gating (via umbral-permissions)
• File & image widgets, Markdown / rich-text field widgets
• Soft-delete + trash, bulk actions, and a per-row audit log
