Flask-Admin是Flask框架的一个扩展，用它能够快速创建Web管理界面，它实现了比如用户、文件的增删改查等常用的管理功能；如果对它的默认界面不喜欢，可以通过修改模板文件来定制；
Flask-Admin把每一个菜单（超链接）看作一个view，注册后才能显示出来，view本身也有属性来控制其是否可见；因此，利用这个机制可以定制自己的模块化界面，比如让不同权限的用户登录后看到不一样的菜单；

example/simple
这是最简单的一个样例，可以帮助我们快速、直观的了解基本概念，学会定制Flask-Admin的界面
simple.py：

from flask import Flask

from flask.ext import admin


# Create custom admin view
class MyAdminView(admin.BaseView):
 @admin.expose('/')
 def index(self):
 return self.render('myadmin.html')


class AnotherAdminView(admin.BaseView):
 @admin.expose('/')
 def index(self):
 return self.render('anotheradmin.html')

 @admin.expose('/test/')
 def test(self):
 return self.render('test.html')


# Create flask app
app = Flask(__name__, template_folder='templates')
app.debug = True

# Flask views
@app.route('/')
def index():
 return 'Click me to get to Admin!'

# Create admin interface
admin = admin.Admin()
admin.add_view(MyAdminView(category='Test'))
admin.add_view(AnotherAdminView(category='Test'))
admin.init_app(app)

if __name__ == '__main__':

 # Start app
 app.run()

在这里可以看到运行效果

BaseView

所有的view都必须继承自BaseView：

代码如下:

class BaseView(name=None, category=None, endpoint=None, url=None, static_folder=None, static_url_path=None)

name: view在页面上表现为一个menu（超链接），menu name == 'name'，缺省就用小写的class name
category: 如果多个view有相同的category就全部放到一个dropdown里面（dropdown name=='category'）
endpoint: 假设endpoint='xxx'，则可以用url_for(xxx.index)，也能改变页面URL（/admin/xxx）
url: 页面URL，优先级url > endpoint > class name
static_folder: static目录的路径
static_url_path: static目录的URL
anotheradmin.html:

{% extends 'admin/master.html' %}
{% block body %}
 Hello World from AnotherMyAdmin!

 Click me to go to test view
{% endblock %}

如果AnotherAdminView增加参数endpoint='xxx'，那这里就可以写成url_for('xxx.text')，然后页面URL会由/admin/anotheradminview/变成/admin/xxx
如果同时指定参数url='aaa'，那页面URL会变成/admin/aaa，url优先级比endpoint高
Admin

代码如下:

class Admin(app=None, name=None, url=None, subdomain=None, index_view=None, translations_path=None, endpoint=None, static_url_path=None, base_template=None)

app: Flask Application Object；本例中可以不写admin.init_app(app)，直接用admin = admin.Admin(app=app)是一样的
name: Application name，缺省'Admin'；会显示为main menu name('Home'左边的'Admin')和page title
subdomain: ???
index_view: 'Home'那个menu对应的就叫index view，缺省AdminIndexView
base_template: 基础模板，缺省admin/base.html，该模板在Flask-Admin的源码目录里面
部分Admin代码如下：

class MenuItem(object):
 """
 Simple menu tree hierarchy.
 """
 def __init__(self, name, view=None):
 self.name = name
 self._view = view
 self._children = []
 self._children_urls = set()
 self._cached_url = None
 self.url = None
 if view is not None:
 self.url = view.url

 def add_child(self, view):
 self._children.append(view)
 self._children_urls.add(view.url)

class Admin(object):

 def __init__(self, app=None, name=None,
 url=None, subdomain=None,
 index_view=None,
 translations_path=None,
 endpoint=None,
 static_url_path=None,
 base_template=None):

 self.app = app

 self.translations_path = translations_path

 self._views = []
 self._menu = []
 self._menu_categories = dict()
 self._menu_links = []

 if name is None:
 name = 'Admin'
 self.name = name

 self.index_view = index_view or AdminIndexView(endpoint=endpoint, url=url)
 self.endpoint = endpoint or self.index_view.endpoint
 self.url = url or self.index_view.url
 self.static_url_path = static_url_path
 self.subdomain = subdomain
 self.base_template = base_template or 'admin/base.html'

 # Add predefined index view
 self.add_view(self.index_view)

 # Register with application
 if app is not None:
 self._init_extension()

 def add_view(self, view):

 # Add to views
 self._views.append(view)

 # If app was provided in constructor, register view with Flask app
 if self.app is not None:
 self.app.register_blueprint(view.create_blueprint(self))
 self._add_view_to_menu(view)

 def _add_view_to_menu(self, view):

 if view.category:
 category = self._menu_categories.get(view.category)

 if category is None:
 category = MenuItem(view.category)
 self._menu_categories[view.category] = category
 self._menu.append(category)

 category.add_child(MenuItem(view.name, view))
 else:
 self._menu.append(MenuItem(view.name, view))

 def init_app(self, app):

 self.app = app

 self._init_extension()

 # Register views
 for view in self._views:
 app.register_blueprint(view.create_blueprint(self))
 self._add_view_to_menu(view)

从上面的代码可以看出init_app(app)和Admin(app=app)是一样的：
将每个view注册为blueprint（Flask里的概念，可以简单理解为模块）
记录所有view，以及所属的category和url
AdminIndexView

代码如下:

class AdminIndexView(name=None, category=None, endpoint=None, url=None, template='admin/index.html')

name: 缺省'Home'
endpoint: 缺省'admin'
url: 缺省'/admin'
如果要封装出自己的view，可以参照AdminIndexView的写法：

class AdminIndexView(BaseView):

 def __init__(self, name=None, category=None,
 endpoint=None, url=None,
 template='admin/index.html'):
 super(AdminIndexView, self).__init__(name or babel.lazy_gettext('Home'),
 category,
 endpoint or 'admin',
 url or '/admin',
 'static')
 self._template = template

 @expose()
 def index(self):
 return self.render(self._template)
base_template

base_template缺省是/admin/base.html，是页面的主要代码（基于bootstrap），它里面又import admin/layout.html；
layout是一些宏，主要用于展开、显示menu；
在模板中使用一些变量来取出之前注册view时保存的信息（如menu name和url等）：
# admin/layout.html (部分)

{% macro menu() %}
 {% for item in admin_view.admin.menu() %}
 {% if item.is_category() %}
 {% set children = item.get_children() %}
 {% if children %}
 {% if item.is_active(admin_view) %}
{% else %}
{% endif %}
 {{ item.name }}
 
 {% for child in children %}
 {% if child.is_active(admin_view) %}
{% else %}
{% endif %}
 {{ child.name }}
 
 {% endfor %}
 
 
 {% endif %}
 {% else %}
 {% if item.is_accessible() and item.is_visible() %}
 {% if item.is_active(admin_view) %}
{% else %}
{% endif %}
 {{ item.name }}
 
 {% endif %}
 {% endif %}
 {% endfor %}
{% endmacro %}

example/file
这个样例能帮助我们快速搭建起文件管理界面，但我们的重点是学习使用ActionsMixin模块
file.py：

import os
import os.path as op

from flask import Flask

from flask.ext import admin
from flask.ext.admin.contrib import fileadmin

# Create flask app
app = Flask(__name__, template_folder='templates', static_folder='files')

# Create dummy secrey key so we can use flash
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = '123456790'


# Flask views
@app.route('/')
def index():
 return 'Click me to get to Admin!'


if __name__ == '__main__':
 # Create directory
 path = op.join(op.dirname(__file__), 'files')
 try:
 os.mkdir(path)
 except OSError:
 pass

 # Create admin interface
 admin = admin.Admin(app)
 admin.add_view(fileadmin.FileAdmin(path, '/files/', name='Files'))

 # Start app
 app.run(debug=True)

FileAdmin是已经写好的的一个view，直接用即可：

代码如下:

class FileAdmin(base_path, base_url, name=None, category=None, endpoint=None, url=None, verify_path=True)

base_path: 文件存放的相对路径
base_url: 文件目录的URL
FileAdmin中和ActionsMixin相关代码如下：
class FileAdmin(BaseView, ActionsMixin):

 def __init__(self, base_path, base_url,
 name=None, category=None, endpoint=None, url=None,
 verify_path=True):

 self.init_actions()

@expose('/action/', methods=('POST',))
def action_view(self):
 return self.handle_action()

# Actions
@action('delete',
 lazy_gettext('Delete'),
 lazy_gettext('Are you sure you want to delete these files?'))
def action_delete(self, items):
 if not self.can_delete:
 flash(gettext('File deletion is disabled.'), 'error')
 return

 for path in items:
 base_path, full_path, path = self._normalize_path(path)

 if self.is_accessible_path(path):
 try:
 os.remove(full_path)
 flash(gettext('File "%(name)s" was successfully deleted.', name=path))
 except Exception as ex:
 flash(gettext('Failed to delete file: %(name)s', name=ex), 'error')

@action('edit', lazy_gettext('Edit'))
def action_edit(self, items):
 return redirect(url_for('.edit', path=items))
@action()用于wrap跟在后面的函数，这里的作用就是把参数保存起来：
def action(name, text, confirmation=None)
 def wrap(f):
 f._action = (name, text, confirmation)
 return f

 return wrap

name: action name
text: 可用于按钮名称
confirmation: 弹框确认信息
init_actions()把所有action的信息保存到ActionsMixin里面：

# 调试信息
_actions = [('delete', lu'Delete'), ('edit', lu'Edit')]
_actions_data = {'edit': (>, lu'Edit', None), 'delete': (>, lu'Delete', lu'Are you sure you want to delete these files?')}

action_view()用于处理POST给/action/的请求，然后调用handle_action()，它再调用不同的action处理，最后返回当前页面：

# 省略无关代码
def handle_action(self, return_view=None):

 action = request.form.get('action')
 ids = request.form.getlist('rowid')

 handler = self._actions_data.get(action)

 if handler and self.is_action_allowed(action):
 response = handler[0](ids)

 if response is not None:
 return response

 if not return_view:
 url = url_for('.' + self._default_view)
 else:
 url = url_for('.' + return_view)

 return redirect(url)

ids是一个文件清单，作为参数传给action处理函数（参数items）：

# 调试信息
ids: [u'1.png', u'2.png']

再分析页面代码，Files页面对应文件为admin/file/list.html，重点看With selected下拉菜单相关代码：
{% import 'admin/actions.html' as actionslib with context %}

{% if actions %}
 
 {{ actionslib.dropdown(actions, 'dropdown-toggle btn btn-large') }}
 
{% endif %}

{% block actions %}
 {{ actionslib.form(actions, url_for('.action_view')) }}
{% endblock %}

{% block tail %}
 {{ actionslib.script(_gettext('Please select at least one file.'),
 actions,
 actions_confirmation) }}
{% endblock %}

上面用到的三个宏在actions.html：

{% macro dropdown(actions, btn_class='dropdown-toggle') -%}
 {{ _gettext('With selected') }}
 
 {% for p in actions %}
 

 {{ _gettext(p[1]) }}
 
 {% endfor %}
 
{% endmacro %}

{% macro form(actions, url) %}
 {% if actions %}
 
 {% endif %}
{% endmacro %}

{% macro script(message, actions, actions_confirmation) %}
 {% if actions %}
 
 

最终生成的页面（部分）：

 
 With selected
 
 

 
 

 Delete
 
 

 Edit
 
 

选择菜单后的处理方法在actions.js:

对比一下修改前后的表单：

# 初始化


# 'Delete'选中的三个文件


# 'Edit'选中的一个文件

总结一下，当我们点击下拉菜单中的菜单项（Delete,Edit），本地JavaScript代码会弹出确认框（假设有确认信息），然后提交一个表单给/admin/fileadmin/action/，请求处理函数action_view()根据表单类型再调用不同的action处理函数，最后返回一个页面。

Flask-Admin字段（列）格式化
在某些情况下，我们需要对模型的某个属性进行格式化。比如，默认情况下，日期时间显示出来会比较长，这时可能需要只显示月和日，这时候，列格式化就派上用场了。

比如，如果你要显示双倍的价格，你可以这样做：

class MyModelView(BaseModelView):
 column_formatters = dict(price=lambda v, c, m, p: m.price*2)

或者在Jinja2模板中使用宏：

from flask.ext.admin.model.template import macro

class MyModelView(BaseModelView):
 column_formatters = dict(price=macro('render_price'))

# in template
{% macro render_price(model, column) %}
 {{ model.price * 2 }}
{% endmacro %}

回调函数模型：

def formatter(view, context, model, name):
 # `view` is current administrative view
 # `context` is instance of jinja2.runtime.Context
 # `model` is model instance
 # `name` is property name
 pass

正好和上面的v, c, m, p相对应。
