## What it is
AdminJS is an open-source admin panel library for Node.js applications that auto-generates a customizable React-based admin UI from your database models. It plugs into frameworks like Express, NestJS, Fastify, Hapi, and Koa, and connects to ORMs/ODMs such as Prisma, TypeORM, Sequelize, and Mongoose.

## Use cases
- add an admin panel to a node.js app
- manage database records with a generated CRUD interface
- let non-developers view and edit application data
- build custom admin dashboard with widgets and reports
- add role-based access control to an admin interface
- bootstrap initial data into database tables
- create a CMS on top of existing database models

## When to choose
- you have a Node.js app and need an admin interface quickly with minimal code
- you use a supported ORM/ODM like Prisma, TypeORM, Sequelize, or Mongoose
- you want deep customization of the admin UI with React knowledge
- you need built-in authentication and role-based access control
- you want to manage multiple data sources from one panel

## When to avoid
- your project uses CommonJS and cannot migrate to ESM (required since v7)
- you need a standalone admin tool decoupled from your application code
- your stack is not Node.js (e.g. Python, Ruby, PHP projects)
- you use a database or ORM without an existing AdminJS adapter and don't want to write one
