Lowdefy CRUD Admin Example

View this example.

This example shows patterns to implement a data admin app which allows users to view, create new, edit and delete data records.

The data in this very basic example contains a set of brands, and a set of products saved in a MongoDB database. A one-to-many relation exists between brands and products. Each product is related to one brand, and a brand can be related to many products.

This Lowdefy application consists of four pages

Running this example

• Create a MongoDB cluster and get a URI connection string:
  • Create a free MongoDB database cluster hosted by MongoDB Atlas.
  • Load the Atlas sample dataset.
  • In the Database access section, create a database user with read access to any database (You can also specify the database as example-crud).
  • In the main cluster view, click "connect", then "Connect you application". This will give a MongoDB URI connection string. Use the credentials you just created.
  • You can read more about the Lowdefy MongoDB connector.
• Clone this repository.
• Create a .env file in your project folder and set your MongoDB database connector URI as a variable in the .env file: LOWDEFY_SECRET_EXAMPLES_MDB="{{ your_mongodb_connection_uri }}"
• In the command console, navigate to your project folder and run the Lowdefy CLI: npx lowdefy@latest dev.
