It's been a while since I'm looking for a Node.js package to provide a clean (but customizable) admin interface to perform CRUD actions on a MongoDB database in a structured manner (allowing trusted users edit their data involving automatic form validation, considering relationships between models, etc).
It's true it can always be used 3rd party tools to achieve this purpose (like the Django Admin interface or Rails Admin).
But I was wondering if there's an already made solution out there running on top of Node.js.
Does anyone know a solution of this kind?
Note that I'm NOT looking for an interface to access databases, like phpmyadmin or mongoose-admin.
Have a look on this link:
https://github.com/wearefractal/smog
... it is a straightforward tool to admin mongoDB from webUI.
it looks pretty good, and may be in near future User based management will be added, but you can extend this to support the features you need.
If your Node.js app exposes a RESTful API, ng-admin is a good solution.
Disclaimer: we built it.
We are using Formage (https://github.com/Empeeric/formage) as an admin addon and so far it has worked well for our basic needs. It is a fork from Mongoose-admin.
Check penguin: a module that automatically generates administration pages based on your Mongoose models.
I'm using https://npmjs.org/package/mongo-express if you're used to bootstrap you might enjoy it too.
We've used http://keystonejs.com/ for creating admin UIs.
You could take a look at AllcountJS. It's actually not a admin UI tool but rather a framework for rapid business application development. It builds auto-generated UI (grids, forms, etc.) from domain model descriptions in JSON-like format. Provides built-in security and user management. Supports view customization and theming (see extending docs). If you're already using Express in your application you could integrate them to run in single Node.js instance.
