About AdminJS
AdminJS adds an admin panel to an existing Node.js application. You plug it into frameworks such as Express, Nest, Fastify or Hapi, point it at your ORM or ODM models, for example Prisma, TypeORM, Sequelize, Mongoose or MikroORM, and it generates screens for listing, filtering, creating, editing and deleting records, picking up validation rules, data types and relationships automatically. Custom actions, React components, dashboards, role-based access and a plugin marketplace let you go further. It is MIT-licensed and free, developed by the Polish software house that created it, with paid premium add-ons and enterprise services. It runs inside your own Node.js server, so data never leaves your infrastructure. It suits backend developers who need a back office for their product quickly. Development has slowed compared with its peak, so check that it supports the versions of your framework and ORM, and expect to write code for anything beyond standard CRUD screens.
Best for: Node.js developers who need a quick admin panel for their own app's database.
