view latest CRUD entries after login – Quick Admin Panel

This new module in our online generator allows you to add recent entries to your dashboard.

By default, if you create an admin panel, download it and log in, you will see a blank dashboard with the text “You are already logged in”, like this:

The idea behind this is that you almost feel empty HomeController.php and empty home.blade.php file and you can then add whatever you want, manually in Laravel code.

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('home');
    }
}

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')

    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-10">
            <div class="panel panel-default">
                <div class="panel-heading">@lang('quickadmin.qa_dashboard')</div>

                <div class="panel-body">
                    @lang('quickadmin.qa_dashboard_text')

                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

@endsection

Because we can’t “guess” what you want to see on your dashboard.

But recently our customers asked for the ability to see the most recent entries somewhere in one view, like a dashboard. So here it is – a new module “Dashboard widget”.

Once you install the module, you will see a new menu item in your online generator – called “Dashboard Widget”.

There you can add widgets, which won’t appear online but will after you download the panel, install, and log in.

Each “widget” is basically one CRUD with the most recent entry – you can choose how many widgets you want to display (default is 5).

Let’s say you create 3 widgets, with 5 entries displayed.

Here’s what it looks like in your downloads panel.

And here is the resulting code HomeController.php:

public function index()
{
    $incomes = \App\Income::latest()->limit(5)->get(); 
    $expenses = \App\Expense::latest()->limit(5)->get(); 
    $users = \App\User::latest()->limit(5)->get(); 

    return view('home', compact( 'incomes', 'expenses', 'users' ));
}

So this new module will help you see the latest entries of the most important CRUDs you choose – such as the latest registered users or transactions.

Here is also the video version – a short demo:
