Wow the demo video looks amazing. I'm a programmer, but coding that would take much longer than those few clicks.
I wonder if you could use a "standard" REST backend as a data source?
You lose the ability to use raw SQL queries, but then you could use this for any API and use the full CRUD with whatever actions and safeguards the server has programmed.
Specifically, I'm thinking about feathersjs with it's hooks instead of just accessing the database directly.
- petems 5y agoCurrently it's not possible to use REST backend - direct database connection is required for motor admin to build internal rest json-api on top of the database to power the admin UI. My concern is that with REST backend it would become a much complex tool and will make it harder to build an admin panel - Retool does a good job building internal tools with visual builders and connecting APIs - but that definitively takes more time to build admin panel with it than with Motor Admin.
