Ask HN: Django Admin for React – NextJS admin UI that works directly with ORM

1 pointsby nvegater3 months ago
I&#x27;m considering building a Django Admin-like interface for Next.js using React Server Components and some ORM (Maybe Kysely or Prisma). While I found tools like React Admin and Refine, they all work on top of REST&#x2F;GraphQL APIs rather than directly with relational models.<p>The idea is to provide the same &quot;batteries included&quot; experience as Django Admin - automatic CRUD interfaces from your schema definitions, relationship handling, and built-in authentication - but for the React&#x2F;Next.js ecosystem. Working directly with the ORM through server components would avoid the need for an additional API layer. Has anyone attempted something similar? Would this be valuable for Next.js developers? Looking for feedback on whether I&#x27;m the only one in need for this.

I&#x27;ve been looking for something that solves this exact problem, but I wasn&#x27;t able to find anything, so I&#x27;ve resorted to building my own.<p>Now I am considering using react-admin because the cost seems worth it.
