API Platform Admin

API Platform Admin is a tool to automatically create a fancy (Material Design) and fully-featured administration interface for any API supporting the Hydra Core Vocabulary, including but not limited to all APIs created using the API Platform framework.

The generated administration is a 100% standalone Single-Page-Application with no coupling to the server part, according to the API-first paradigm.

API Platform Admin parses the Hydra documentation then uses the awesome Admin On Rest library (and React) to expose a nice, responsive, management interface (Create-Retrieve-Update-Delete) for all available resources.

You can also customize all screens by using Admin On Rest components and even raw JavaScript/React code.

Features

• Automatically generate an admin interface for all the resources of the API thanks to hypermedia features of Hydra
• Generate list, create, show, edit screens as well as a delete button
• Generate suitable inputs and fields according to the API doc (e.g. number HTML input for numbers, checkbox for booleans, selectbox for relationships...)
• Generate suitable inputs and fields according to Schema.org types if available (e.g. email field for http://schema.org/email)
• Handle relationships
• Pagination support
• Automatically validate if a field is mandatory client-side according to the API description
• Send proper HTTP requests to the API and decode them using Hydra and JSON-LD formats
• Nicely display server-side errors (e.g. advanced validation)
• 100% customizable
