Admin dashboards as FastAPI routes. No templates, no frontend project, no config files.
OpenAdmin is a FastAPI-native library for building admin panels. A page is a router, a widget is an endpoint — stats, tables, forms, actions, and charts, defined with typed decorators in plain Python.
from openadmin import spec
from openadmin.fastapi import AdminPage, AdminPanel
page = AdminPage("Dashboard", icon="layout-dashboard")
@page.stat("Total Users")
async def total_users() -> spec.Stat:
return 1_024
@page.table("Recent Users")
async def recent_users() -> spec.Table:
return {
"data": [
{"id": 1, "name": "Alice", "role": "admin"},
{"id": 2, "name": "Bob", "role": "viewer"},
]
}
admin = AdminPanel("My Admin")
admin.section("General", pages=[page])from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
app.mount("/admin", admin.app)Each decorated function is a normal FastAPI handler — dependency injection, Query/Body parameters, and OpenAPI docs all work as they would on any route.
