Backpex - a highly customizable admin panel for Phoenix LiveView applications

Hello everyone!

I am excited to share our heart project Backpex with you.

After building several Phoenix applications, we realized that we were repeating ourselves when it came to building administration panels. We were writing the same CRUD views, search and filter functionality over and over again. We wanted a tool that would allow us to quickly scaffold these views and focus on building the core functionality of our applications.

The tool we wanted had to be able to serve as a simple backend administration panel in one project, while being the core of the application in another.

We looked at existing solutions, but found that none of them offered the flexibility and customization we were looking for, especially in terms of live updates and LiveView features. We decided to develop Backpex to solve this problem and provide a highly customizable administration panel for Phoenix LiveView applications. Backpex should not only be a simple administration interface for developers, but also a good-looking UI for end users.

Even though Backpex already offers a lot of features, there is still a lot to do. We also have many ideas for future work. That’s why we are very open for contributions and appreciate any help. We have just released a public roadmap 58 and created some issues that are open for contributions on GitHub (see “good-first-issue” label).

We really want to hear what you would like to see next and what is missing. We’d love to hear your feedback!
