Is there a Loco.rs equivalent of Django Admin?

[alokmahor]

I'm building a backend in Rust using the Loco, which is based on Axum and SeaORM. I'm really enjoying the structure but I'm wondering:

❓ Is there any Rust library or framework that provides an auto-generated admin panel/dashboard like Django Admin?

In Django, I can register my models and instantly get a powerful CRUD interface with filtering, search, inline editing, etc. I’m looking for something similar in Rust – ideally something that works with Loco.rs project.

There isn't yet a Rust-native admin panel as full-featured and integrated as Django Admin, especially one that plugs directly into a framework like Loco (Axum + SeaORM).
Expose Admin CRUD Endpoints (SeaORM + Axum via Loco):
GET /admin/rooms // list with pagination
GET /admin/rooms/:id // detail view
POST /admin/rooms // create
PUT /admin/rooms/:id // update
DELETE /admin/rooms/:id // delete

Render HTML Admin Pages (Askama or Tera templates)
Use a template engine (Askama is compile-time safe, Tera is more dynamic).

Example: rooms list view

rust
Copy
Edit
// controller
pub async fn admin_rooms_list(State(ctx): State) -> impl IntoResponse {
let rooms = Room::find().all(&ctx.db).await.unwrap();
HtmlTemplate(AdminRoomListTemplate { rooms })
}
Askama template:

html
Copy
Edit

{% for room in rooms %} {% endfor %}

{{ room.id }}

{{ room.name }}

Edit

Add Filtering/Search (query params)
Use Axum extractors and apply to SeaORM query:

rust
Copy
Edit
pub async fn admin_rooms_list(Query(params): Query<HashMap<String, String>>, ...) {
let mut query = Room::find();

if let Some(name) = params.get("name") {
    query = query.filter(room::Column::Name.contains(name));
}

...

}

Add Forms for Create/Edit (with CSRF/token protection)
Use HTML

with POST or PUT

Validate with axum_extra::extract::Form or custom logic

Render errors inline in the form template

Auth Protect Admin Routes
Only allow admins/hosts/etc:

rust
Copy
Edit
fn is_admin(userinfo: &UserInfo) -> bool {
userinfo.roles.contains(&"Admin".to_string())
}
And then check in controller:

rust
Copy
Edit
let userinfo = request.userinfo();
if !is_admin(&userinfo) {
return Err(AppError::forbidden("Not allowed"));
}
