Flask Admin

Now that we have created the tables in the database, we require a way to manipulate the data within it. It can be done through the terminal but flask provides an admin panel which makes this task easier.

To access the flask admin in the cuba theme, first you need to create an admin account through terminal.

Follow the below given commands to create an admin account

Step 1:

Open the python terminal by typing python3 (if you are a linux user) or python (if you are a windows user) in the terminal and pressing enter. Make sure that you have navigated to the cuba folder where the run.py is present.

step 2:

from cuba import db

from cuba.models import User

from werkzeug.security import generate_password_hash

admin = User(email="admin@gmail.com",username="admin",password=generate_password_hash('admin@123',method='sha256'),isAdmin=True)

db.session.add(admin)

db.session.commit()

Make sure you execute commands one by one, and make sure that the paths you have entered are correct one while importing

Step 3:

Now everything is all setup to access our flask admin panel. Navigate to '/admin' after you base user. If you are in the development server and the server port is default then the link you will navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000/admin

This link will redirect you to the login page, now enter the login email and password with which we created the admin account while are:

email: admin@gmail.com

password: Admin@123

Now after logging in you should be able to see the flask admin panel.

If you Don't then access this link again http://127.0.0.1:5000/admin and you will get the access of flask admin panel. Here you can manipulate any data entered inside the database
