## Screenshots
## Quickstart
Let's define an example SQLAlchemy model:
```python
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base
Base = declarative_base()
engine = create_engine(
"sqlite:///example.db",
connect_args={"check_same_thread": False},
)
class User(Base):
__tablename__ = "users"
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
name = Column(String)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine) # Create tables
```
If you want to use `SQLAdmin` with `FastAPI`:
```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from sqladmin import Admin, ModelView
app = FastAPI()
admin = Admin(app, engine)
class UserAdmin(ModelView, model=User):
column_list = [User.id, User.name]
admin.add_view(UserAdmin)
```
Or if you want to use `SQLAdmin` with `Starlette`:
```python
from sqladmin import Admin, ModelView
from starlette.applications import Starlette
app = Starlette()
admin = Admin(app, engine)
class UserAdmin(ModelView, model=User):
column_list = [User.id, User.name]
admin.add_view(UserAdmin)
```
Now visiting `/admin` on your browser you can see the `SQLAdmin` interface.
