Until we have Dashboard to manage everything with user permissions.

Try: https://github.com/simov/express-admin https://github.com/nodeadmin/nodeadmin

We also need to understand how do we manage multiple database schemas under same Admin module.

I tried lumber today It works and looks awesome, but for single database. It is not just a simple view over database, it actually creates a node.js app using sequelize. It generates database models based on DB schema. It still requires changing the models to fit our schema, but its a code which can be changed.

I tried it on apartments DB, but found few issues:

  1. Requires fine tuning models to fit our schema.
  2. It doesn't allow to edit MySQL geometry data type fields. (geo location)
  3. When we add new model/field, it will require changing the model.
