schemaui

Turn every mongoose schema, into a shiny, slick, good looking UI, that will help you manage fully CRUD operations to your registered models.

---

Installation

Just import SchemaUI package, register your models, and

SchemaUI should be installed with few little steps:

1. Import Schema UI

const SchemaUI = require('schemaui');

2. Initialize Schema UI with options (TBD)

SchemaUI.init({});

3. Register your model

SchemaUI.registerModel(YOUR_MODEL);

4. Connect the middleware to your app

app.use('/schemaui', SchemaUI.middleware());

5. Visit your new dashboard! go to: http://YOUR-URL/schemaui

At the moment it's not possible to change the schemaui path, we're working on making it dynamic.

The result

Intuitive, responsive, generic CRM dashboard, that created to help you manage your models

Documentation

SchemaUI.init([options])

options (optional) - global options for SchemaUI instance (TBD)

Property	Type	Description
auditLog	Boolean	(optional) allow audit_log for create, edit, delete for the registered models. default: true

Example

SchemaUI.init({
    auditLog: false // disable audit log for all models
})

SchemaUI.registerModel(Model, [options])

this method should be called multiple times, for every model that you wish to include in the admin UI

Model - A single mongoose model you wish to include in the generated UI

options (optional) - An object with properties, that define set of options per single model (collection)

Property	Type	Description
listFields	String[]	(optional) array of strings that defines which fields to display per item in the items view
fields	Object	(optional) define properties that exist in the schema for custom options per field
permissions	Object	(optional) set of permissions (read,create,edit,delete) with Boolean values.

Example

SchemaUI.registerModel(Image, {
    listFields: ['title', 'type', 'isActive'], // fields that present before expanding
    fields: { // define explicit options per field
        'description': {
            textarea: true // make the description field auto-expand, behave like textarea
        }
    },
    permissions: { // define permissions per model
        read: true, // readonly
        create: false,
        edit: false,
        delete: false
    }
});

SchemaUI.middleware()

Initiates express router that injects the admin UI into your existing app.

Schema UI middleware must be under /schemaui route, any other route will not be able to load SchemaUI's admin panel
