Spring Boot Database Admin Panel

Generate a powerful CRUD management dashboard for your Spring Boot application in a few minutes.

Spring Boot Database Admin scans your @Entity classes and automatically builds a web UI with CRUD operations for your database schema. No modifications required to your existing code!

Features:

• List objects with pagination and sorting
• Object detail page, which also includes @OneToMany and @ManyToMany related objects
• Create/Edit objects
• Action logs: history of all write operations executed through the web UI
• Advanced search and filtering
• Annotation-based customization

Supported JPA annotations

• Core: @Entity, @Table, @Column, @Lob, @Id
• Relationships: @OneToMany, @ManyToOne, @ManyToMany, @OneToOne

The behaviour you specify with these annotations should be applied automatically by Spring Boot Database Admin as well. Keep in mind that using non-supported annotations will not necessarily result in an error, as they are simply ignored. Depending on what the annotation actually does, this could be just fine or result in an error if it interferes with something that Spring Boot Database Admin relies on.

The code is still in a very early stage and it might not be robust if you use not-yet-supported JPA annotations and/or other custom configurations (e.g., custom naming strategy). If you find a bug with your settings, please report it as an issue and I will try to take a look at it.

Installation

1. Spring Boot Database Admin is distributed on Maven. For the latest stable release you can simply include the following snippet in your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
	<groupId>tech.ailef</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-boot-db-admin</artifactId>
	<version>0.1.2</version>
</dependency>

2. A few simple configuration steps are required on your end in order to integrate the library into your project. If you don't want to test on your own code, you can clone the test project which provides a sample database and already configured code.

Otherwise, go ahead and add these to your application.properties file:

# Optional, default true
dbadmin.enabled=true

# The first-level part of the URL path: http://localhost:8080/${baseUrl}/
dbadmin.baseUrl=admin

# The package that contains your @Entity classes
dbadmin.modelsPackage=put.your.models.package.here

Now annotate your @SpringBootApplication class containing the main method with the following:

@ImportAutoConfiguration(DbAdminAutoConfiguration.class)

This will autoconfigure Spring Boot Database Admin when your application starts. You are good to go!

3. At this point, when you run your application, you should be able to visit http://localhost:${port}/${dbadmin.baseUrl} and see the web interface.

Issues

If you find a problem or a bug, please report it as issue. When doing so, include as much information as possible, and in particular:

• provide the code for the involved @Entity classes, if possible
• provide the full stack trace of the error
• specify if you are using any particular configuration either in your application.properties or through annotations
