Quick start

We use users table come with Laravel for example,the structure of table is:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `password` varchar(60) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `remember_token` varchar(100) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  `updated_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `users_email_unique` (`email`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci

And the model for this table is App\User.php

You can follow these steps to setup CRUD interfaces of table users:

Add controller

Use the following command to create a controller for App\User model

php artisan admin:make UserController --model=App\\User

// under windows use:
php artisan admin:make UserController --model=App\User

The above command will create the controller in app/Admin/Controllers/UserController.php.

Add route

Add a route in app/Admin/routes.php：

$router->resource('demo/users', UserController::class);

Add left menu item

Open http://localhost:8000/admin/auth/menu, add menu link and refresh the page, then you can find a link item in left menu bar.

Where uri fills in the path part that does not contain the prefix of the route, such as the full path http://localhost:8000/admin/demo/users, just input demo/users, If you want to add an external link, just fill in the full url, such as http://laravel-admin.org/.

Menu translations

append menu titles in menu_titles index at your language files. For example 'Work Units' title:

in resources/lang/es/admin.php

...
// lowercase and replace spaces with _
'menu_titles' => [
    'work_units' => 'Unidades de trabajo'
],

Build grid and form

The rest needs to be done is open app/Admin/Contollers/UserController.php, find form() and grid() method and write few lines of code with model-grid and model-form,for more detail, please read model-grid and model-form.
