 # Admin Interface
 
-JsWeb includes a built-in admin interface that allows you to manage your application's data. The admin interface is powered by the `jsweb.admin` module and is highly customizable.
+JsWeb includes a built-in admin interface that allows you to manage your application's data. The admin interface is automatically generated based on your models and is ready for production use out of the box.

 ## Enabling the Admin Interface
 
-To enable the admin interface, you need to create an `Admin` instance and register your models with it.
+To enable the admin interface, create an `Admin` instance and register your models with it:
 
 ```python
 # app.py
 from jsweb import JsWebApp
 from jsweb.admin import Admin
-from .models import User, Post
+from .models import User, Post, Category
 import config
 
 app = JsWebApp(config=config)
+
+# Create admin instance
 admin = Admin(app)
 
+# Register your models
 admin.register(User)
 admin.register(Post)
+admin.register(Category)
 ```
 
-This will create an admin interface at the `/admin` URL.
+This will create an admin interface accessible at `/admin`.
+
+!!! tip "Auto-Generated Admin"
+    The admin interface is completely auto-generated based on your models. No additional configuration needed!
 
-## Creating an Admin User
+## Creating Admin Users
 
-To access the admin interface, you need to create an admin user. You can do this using the `jsweb create-admin` command.
+Before you can access the admin interface, you need to create an admin user:
 
 ```bash
 jsweb create-admin
 ```
 
-This will prompt you to enter a username, email, and password for the new admin user.
+This command will prompt you to enter:
+- **Username**: Your admin username
+- **Email**: Your admin email address
+- **Password**: A secure password
+
+### Creating Admin Users Programmatically
+
+```python
+from .models import User
+
+# Create admin user with code
+admin_user = User.create(
+    username="admin",
+    email="[email protected]",
+    password="secure_password",
+    is_admin=True
+)
+```
+
+!!! warning "Security"
+    Always use strong passwords. Never hardcode credentials in your application.
+
+## Accessing the Admin Panel
+
+Once an admin user is created, you can access the admin panel:
+
+1. Navigate to `http://your-domain.com/admin`
+2. Log in with your admin credentials
+3. Manage your application's data
+
+## Managing Models
+
+### Viewing Records
+
+The admin interface displays all records in a table format:
+- **List View**: See all records with key fields
+- **Search**: Find specific records
+- **Filtering**: Filter records by field values
+- **Sorting**: Sort by any column
+
+### Creating Records
+
+Click the "Add" or "Create" button to add a new record. A form will appear with all model fields.
+
+### Editing Records
+
+Click on any record in the list to edit its details. The edit form displays:
+- All model fields
+- Field values
+- Validation errors (if any)
+
+### Deleting Records
+
+Click the delete button to remove a record. A confirmation will appear before deletion.
+
+## Admin Features
+
+### Automatic Field Detection
+
+The admin interface automatically detects your model fields and displays appropriate widgets:
+
+| Field Type | Widget |
+|-----------|--------|
+| String | Text input |
+| Integer | Number input |
+| Float | Decimal input |
+| Date | Date picker |
+| DateTime | Date & time picker |
+| Boolean | Checkbox |
+| Text | Textarea |
+| Foreign Key | Dropdown selector |
+
+### Search & Filter
+
+The admin interface provides:
+- **Full-text search** across all fields
+- **Field filtering** by specific values
+- **Boolean filtering** for true/false fields
+- **Relationship filtering** for foreign keys
+
+### Bulk Actions
+
+Perform operations on multiple records:
+- Select multiple records
+- Apply actions (delete, export, etc.)
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+!!! warning "Admin Access Control"
+    The admin interface should only be accessible to trusted administrators. Consider:
+    
+    - Using strong passwords
+    - Enabling 2FA (if available)
+    - Restricting IP access with a proxy/firewall
+    - Using HTTPS in production
+
+!!! danger "Data Protection"
+    Be careful when deleting records. Deletions are usually permanent. Consider implementing:
+    
+    ```python
+    # Soft delete approach
+    class Post(ModelBase):
+        __tablename__ = 'posts'
+        title = Column(String(200))
+        deleted_at = Column(DateTime, nullable=True)
+        
+        @property
+        def is_deleted(self):
+            return self.deleted_at is not None
+    ```
+
+!!! note "Audit Logging"
+    Consider adding audit logs to track admin actions:
+    
+    ```python
+    class AuditLog(ModelBase):
+        __tablename__ = 'audit_logs'
+        admin_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('user.id'))
+        action = Column(String(100))
+        model_name = Column(String(100))
+        record_id = Column(Integer)
+        timestamp = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow)
+    ```
+
+## Customization
+
+### Limiting Model Fields
+
+```python
+# Currently not available in base Admin class
+# Feature for future versions
+```
+
+### Custom Model Lists
+
+```python
+# Custom template override support
+# Feature for future versions
+```
+
+!!! info "Future Customization"
+    More customization options are planned for future versions, such as:
+    - Custom column lists
+    - Custom filters
+    - Inline editing
+    - Bulk operations
+
+## Best Practices
+
+!!! tip "Model Organization"
+    Keep your models organized in `models.py`:
+    
+    ```python
+    # models.py
+    from jsweb.database import ModelBase, Column, Integer, String
+    
+    class User(ModelBase):
+        __tablename__ = 'users'
+        # ... fields ...
+    
+    class Post(ModelBase):
+        __tablename__ = 'posts'
+        # ... fields ...
+    
+    # app.py
+    from models import User, Post
+    admin.register(User)
+    admin.register(Post)
+    ```
+
+!!! warning "Register Models Early"
+    Register admin models right after creating the Admin instance:
+    
+    ```python
+    admin = Admin(app)
+    
+    # Register all models
+    admin.register(User)
+    admin.register(Post)
+    admin.register(Category)
+    
+    # Then define routes
+    @app.route("/")
+    async def home(req):
+        ...
+    ```
+
+!!! success "Use Descriptive Names"
+    Use clear, descriptive model names for the admin interface:
+    
+    ```python
+    # Good
+    class BlogPost(ModelBase):
+        __tablename__ = 'blog_posts'
+    
+    # Less clear
+    class P(ModelBase):
+        __tablename__ = 'p'
+    ```
+
+!!! tip "Validation in Models"
+    Add validation to your models for better data quality:
+    
+    ```python
+    class User(ModelBase):
+        __tablename__ = 'users'
+        username = Column(String(80), unique=True, nullable=False)
+        email = Column(String(120), unique=True, nullable=False, index=True)
+        
+        def __repr__(self):
+            return f"<User {self.username}>"
+    ```
 
-## Customizing the Admin Interface
+!!! note "Admin vs Public Interface"
+    Keep admin interface separate from public-facing pages:
+    
+    ```
+    routes/
+    ├── public_routes.py      # Public pages
+    ├── auth_routes.py        # Login/Register
+    ├── api_routes.py         # API endpoints
+    └── admin_routes.py       # Admin-only routes (if needed)
+    ```
 
-The admin interface is automatically generated based on your models. At the moment, there are no specific customization options like `list_display` or `search_fields` available directly in the `Admin` class. However, you can extend the `Admin` class or modify the admin templates to customize the interface.
