## What it is
Torch is a rapid admin generator for Elixir Phoenix applications that creates admin interfaces with custom templates. It wraps Phoenix's HTML generator, injecting its own templates to produce styled admin CRUD pages.

## Use cases
- generate an admin panel for a Phoenix app
- scaffold CRUD admin pages for Ecto models
- quickly build back-office UIs in Phoenix
- create searchable paginated admin dashboards
- bootstrap admin sections without writing boilerplate

## When to choose
- you have a Phoenix 1.7+ app and need admin CRUD screens fast
- you want generated code you can customize rather than a black-box admin engine
- you prefer Phoenix generator conventions

## When to avoid
- you need a runtime-configurable admin engine rather than generated code
- your project is not Phoenix/Elixir
- you need Phoenix 1.6 or earlier without using an older Torch version

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: templating, ui-components
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
