adminjs-sql

This is an inofficial AdminJS adapter which integrates SQL-based database into AdminJS.

Installation: yarn add adminjs-sql

Usage

The plugin can be registered using standard AdminJS.registerAdapter method.

import { Adapter } from 'adminjs-sql';
import AdminJS from 'adminjs';

AdminJS.registerAdapter(Adapter);

After registration, you should call Adapter.database(client, connectionOptions) to parse table information from running database.

// import { Adapter } from 'adminjs-sql';
// ...
const db = await Adapter.database('mysql2', {
  host: DB_HOST,
  port: DB_PORT,
  user: DB_USER,
  password: DB_PASSWORD,
  database: DB_NAME,
});

After initialization, you can register resources. db.tables() to register ALL tables in database. Or you can db.table(tableName) to register specific table.

const adminJs = new AdminJS({
  databases: [database],
  resources: db.tables(),
  // or
  resources: [db.table('users'), db.table('posts'), db.table('comments')],
});
