Introduction
------------

Flask-Admin is a batteries-included, simple-to-use `Flask <http://flask.pocoo.org/>`_ extension that lets you
add admin interfaces to Flask applications. It is inspired by the *django-admin* package, but implemented in such
a way that the developer has total control of the look, feel and functionality of the resulting application.

Out-of-the-box, Flask-Admin plays nicely with various ORM's, including

- `SQLAlchemy <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/>`_,

- `MongoEngine <http://mongoengine.org/>`_,

- `pymongo <http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/>`_ and

- `Peewee <https://github.com/coleifer/peewee>`_.

It also boasts a simple file management interface and a `redis client <http://redis.io/>`_ console.

The biggest feature of Flask-Admin is flexibility. It aims to provide a set of simple tools that can be used for
building admin interfaces of any complexity. So, to start off with you can create a very simple application in no time,
with auto-generated CRUD-views for each of your models. But then you can go further and customize those views & forms
as the need arises.

Flask-Admin is an active project, well-tested and production ready.

    CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
    CREATE EXTENSION hstore;

You can also run the tests on multiple environments using *tox*.
