models.py: describes your database tablesĮach of these consists of a snippet of code you repeat for each table and page:.To drive FAB, you need to provide 2 model files: BackgroundĪs shown below, Flask AppBuilder (FAB) is a Python-based open source tool that uses sqlalchemy (an ORM for database access), and Flask (a micro web framework): Instead, we need an agile approach that introspects the data model, and creates not only all the pages, but also the transitions. These also often require not only complicated coding, but also installing and configuring an IDE, frameworks, Web Servers, etc. The Challenge: Conventional Approaches Not AgileĬonventional approaches where you create pages a field at a time with a screen painter, or use Wizards to create pages, will not create such an app in 10 minutes. Ids last: such boring fields are not shown on lists, and at the end on other pages.Predictive joins: favorite field of each parent is shown (product name - not the foreign key product_id_).Favorite field first: first-displayed field is "name", or contains "name" (configurable).Multi-table: pages include related_views for each related child table, and join in parent data.Navigation controls enable you to transition between these pages. The screen show below shows a List Customer screen (with query), a Show (one) Customer page, and a Show Order page. Multi-page: apps include 1 page per table.Let's explore the created app, and then the creation process.
