CRUD Admin Generator

What is CRUD Admin Generator?

CRUD Admin Generator (http://crud-admin-generator.com) is a tool to generate a complete backend from a MySql database where you can create, read, update and delete records in a database.

The backend is generated in seconds without configuration files where there is a lot of "magic" and is very difficult to adapt to your needs.

The generated code is fully customizable and extensible.

It has been programmed with the Silex framework, so the resulting code is PHP.

Installation

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/jonseg/crud-admin-generator.git admingenerator

cd admingenerator

Download composer:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Install vendors:

php composer.phar install

You need point the document root of your virtual host to /path_to/admingenerator/web

This is an example of VirtualHost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /path_to/admingenerator/web
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    <Directory "/path_to/admingenerator/web">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride all
        <IfModule mod_php5.c>
            php_admin_flag engine on
            php_admin_flag safe_mode off
            php_admin_value open_basedir none
        </ifModule>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

You can customize the url using the .htaccess file, maybe this will help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24952846/how-do-i-remove-the-web-from-my-url/24953439#24953439

Generate CRUD backend

Edit the file /path_to/admingenerator/src/app.php and set your database conection data:

$app->register(new Silex\Provider\DoctrineServiceProvider(), array(
    'dbs.options' => array(
        'db' => array(
            'driver'   => 'pdo_mysql',
            'dbname'   => 'DATABASE_NAME',
            'host'     => 'localhost',
            'user'     => 'DATABASE_USER',
            'password' => 'DATABASE_PASS',
            'charset'  => 'utf8',
        ),
    )
));

You need to set the url of the resources folder.

Change this line:

$app['asset_path'] = '/resources';

For the url of your project, for example:

$app['asset_path'] = 'http://domain.com/crudadmin/resources';

Now, execute the command that will generate the CRUD backend:

php console generate:admin

This is it! Now access with your favorite web browser.

The command generates one menu section for each database table. Now will be much easier to list, create, edit and delete rows!

Customize the result

The generated code is fully configurable and editable, you just have to edit the corresponding files.

• The controller you can find it in /web/controllers/TABLE_NAME/index.php
• The views are in /web/views/TABLE_NAME

It has generated a folder for each database table.
