Django Admin应用程序的最佳用途是什么？

Question

On the website, it says this:

One of the most powerful parts of Django is the automatic admin interface. It reads metadata in your model to provide a powerful and production-ready interface that content producers can immediately use to start adding content to the site. In this document, we discuss how to activate, use and customize Django's admin interface.admin interface.

So what? I still don't understand what the Admin interface is used for. Is it like a PHPMYADMIN? Why would I ever need this?

Answer 1

Let's say you create a model called Entry. IE an extremely simple blog. You write a view to show all the entries on the front page. Now how do you put those entries on the webpage? How do you edit them?

Enter the admin. You register your model with the admin, create a superuser and log in to your running webapp. It's there, with a fully functional interface for creating the entries.

Answer 2

Some of the uses I can think of -

1. Editing data or Adding data. If you have any sort of data entry tasks, the admin app handles it like a breeze. Django's admin especially shines when non-technical users need to be able to enter data.
2. If you have understood above point, then this makes it possible for programmers to work along with designers and content producers!
3. Permissions - An admin interface can be used to give permissions, create groups with similar permissions, make more than one administrators etc. (ie if you have a login kinda site).
4. Inspecting data models - when I have defined a new model, I call it up in the admin and enter some dummy data.
5. Managing acquired data - basically what a moderator does in case of auto-generated content sites.
6. Block out buggy features - Also if you tweak it a little, you can create an interface wherein say some new feature you coded is buggy. You could disable it from admin interface.

Think of the power this gives in a big organization where everyone need not know programming.
