Forest Admin integration

For those of you that don’t know Forestadmin it is a semi-agnostic admin UI that provides out-of-the-bo Search and CRUD features for your apps.

Here you have a live demo:

https://app.forestadmin.com/23065/data/806052/index

It automatically creates an API(through sequelize) in your server and creates the needed endpoints for their hosted UI to consume. It can connect to mysql, postgresql, mariadb, mssql and mongodb.

They only host the UI. They don’t have access to your data. It’s all well explained in ther website

Given that they have a free tier for up to 10 users I thought people would like to have an out-of-the box admin interface to kick-off their projects in record time.

It has a docker installation. Here are the instructions for those that want to test it.

Now given that Wappler is moving to Docker. It would be amazing to have a integration with Forest Admin so you can just mark a checkbox and have Wappler install it for you and populate all the environment variables that are already available in your docker target.

You can also run some commands from console to update your model if you make changes to your database. Wappler could also handle that.

Edit: or you can just build with Wappler your own agnostic admin UI SAAS business :joy: Just kidding(or not). Forestadmin is a neat piece of software. And quite affordable for startups => Free

Some screenshots of how it looks like with the database demo data Wappler team added in the Docker release.

Create action:

My Docker containers :slight_smile:

First two are the ones created by Wappler. mpcadmin is my Forest Admin container.
