Concept

You can generate CRUDs with this package. The package also automatically creates model files with relations and migrations (they are also added when updating or deleting CRUDs).
Data about CRUDs collections are stored in storage/collections.json.
You have the ability to create “single” entities to manage static content.
The admin panel is fully multi-lingual. CRUD multilingualism is represented as identical tables in different languages, e.g. post_en, post_de. This approach denormalizes the database (increasing the amount of space occupied), but makes a very simple approach to manage it. The multilanguage model is very simple and is represented by the MultilanguageModel class.
Additionaly you can use Translatable trait to translate your content. So you can create non multilanguage instance with common fields like title_en, title_de and than add it in your model to protected array $translatable = ['title'].
The admin panel is written without using npm or other such technologies, allowing it to be edited without reassembling.

Usage of CRUD generator

Go to https://yourdomain.com/admin/collections
Fill the fields:
- CRUD name - the table name for the collection
- CRUD title - the title for the collection
- Is dev - the option to hide CRUD from admin panel (see more Open dev menu)
- Multilanguage - the option to enable multilanguage (see more Multilanguage)
- Sort - sort order in the menu
- Dropdown - set parent menu item (see more Dropdown menu)
- Icon - set icon for the menu
- Fields - set of fields that appear in your CRUD (15 types of the fields)
Press the button "Create"
Now you can create Controller and use generated Model in it. Or you can go to /api/{crud_slug}

Notes:

All the data about CRUDs is stored in storage/collections.json
If you want to move the generated model from the default folder - you need to edit the Model field in storage/collection.json.
If you DON'T want to edit the model automatically when you change the CRUD - you just need to make the Model field in the storage/collections.json empty. (but this will break /api/{model}/{id}).

You can see the examples below:

Usage of Static content generator

Go to https://yourdomain.com/admin/single
Fill the fields:
- Single title - title for the menu
- Single name - inner ID for the API and usage in the code
- Sort - sort order
- Dropdown - parent menu item (see more Dropdown menu)
- Icon - icon for the menu
- Fields - set of fields that appear in your Single (15 types of the fields)
Press the button "Create"
Now you can use it in the code like that:

use Single;

Single::get('your_single_api_id_here');

You can see the examples below:

Creation:

Edit:

Dropdown menu

You can add a parent menu item for the singles and CRUDs you create.

Go to: https://yourdomain.com/admin/dropdown
Add dropdowns
Go to CRUD or single (static content generator) and add parent

You can see the example of the dropdown below:

Multilanguage

The admin panel is fully multi-lingual. CRUD multilingualism is represented as identical tables in different languages, e.g. post_en, post_de. This approach denormalizes the database (increasing the amount of space occupied), but makes a very simple approach to manage it. The multilanguage model is very simple and is represented by the MultilanguageModel class.
To make the custom model multilingual - just inherit the App\Proadmin\Models\MultilanguageModel class.
There is "Multilanguage" select in CRUD to make it multilangual.
Each field has a Lang column to make it multi-lingual. If Lang == “common”, then when saving the field - the value will be updated in all the tables (for example posts_en, posts_de, posts_fr). If Lang == “separate”, then when saving the field - the value will be updated in the current language table only (for example posts_en).
You can edit languages at https://yourdomain.com/admin/settings.
The language of the admin panel is represented in the “admin_lang_tag” column of the User.
Additionaly you can use Translatable trait to translate your content. So you can create non multilanguage instance with common fields like title_en, title_de and than add it in your model to protected array $translatable = ['title'].
There is a class Lang. It has several useful methods:

use Lang;

Lang::all(); // get all languages
Lang::get(); // get current language tag
Lang::main(); // get main language tag
...

How to

Open dev menu

By default, internal settings for languages, crud, single and dropdown are hidden.
All hidden menu items are displayed if PROADMIN_DEV=true in the .env file.
You can also hide CRUDs ("Is dev" option).
To show hidden menu items, you need to add "?dev=" to your address, for example: https://yourdomain.com/admin?dev=.

Add custom page

Create Vue component. For example:

/views/proadmin/components/custom/custom.blade.php

And that's it! Your component will be automatically available in the admin panel.
