Admin Interface

In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics:

  • Customizing admin
  • Enhancing models for the admin
  • admin best practices
  • Feature flags

Django's prominent feature is the admin interface, which makes it stand out from the competition. It is a built-in app that automatically generates a user interface to add and modify a site's content. For many, the admin is Django's killer app, automating the boring task of creating admin interfaces for the models in your project.

The admin enables your team to add content and continue development at the same time. Once your models are ready and migrations have been applied, you just need to add a line or two to create its admin interface. Let's see how.
