Unfold admin
✅ What is Unfold admin
- Unfold is a theme/"template" for the admin panel in Django.
- It reworks the standard Django-admin, adding a modern design, improved UI/UX, and convenient components for creating admin interfaces.
- The theme is built using the Tailwind CSS framework.
🛠 Main features and benefits
- Modern interface : sidebar/menu with icons, support for dark and light themes, neat UI.
- Navigation customization : easily customize the side menu, icons, item order, and structure.
- Improved filters, actions, and widgets : more flexible filters (text, numeric, date), custom “actions,” WYSIWYG editor support, etc.
- Ability to create a custom dashboard page : you can completely redesign the admin start page, add your own components, data, charts, etc.
- Simplified setup and integration — just add unfold to INSTALLED_APPS and inherit administrative classes from unfold.admin.ModelAdmin.
📦 For whom and when should it be used?
Unfold is especially useful if:
- you are creating a project on Django and want to have a nice, modern and convenient admin panel "out of the box";
- you want minimal styling effort, but get a more professional UI than the standard Django admin;
- you plan to customize the admin: menu, dashboard, filters, additional pages, actions, etc.;
- You care about the speed of start-up and convenience for admins/managers who will use the panel.
