# Quickstart

This guide will help you quickly setup admin dashboard using Fastdaisy-Admin.

If you haven't already installed Fastdaisy-Admin, follow the [installation instructions](/getting-started/installation).

## Creating a sqlalchemy model

```python {22} theme={null}
import contextlib
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 Book(Base):
    __tablename__ = "books"

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String)


@contextlib.asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app):
    Base.metadata.create_all(engine) # create teables 
    yield

```

## Fastdaisy-Admin with Starlette

```python {2,7,14} theme={null}
from starlette.applications import Starlette
from fastdaisy_admin import Admin, ModelView


app = Starlette(lifespan=lifespan)
secret_key = "secret_key"
admin = Admin(app, secret_key, engine)

class BookAdmin(ModelView):
    model = Book
    column_list = [Book.id, Book.name]


admin.add_view(BookAdmin)
```

## OR: Fastdaisy-Admin with FastAPI

```python {2,7,15} theme={null}
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastdaisy_admin import Admin, ModelView


app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
secret_key = "secret_key"
admin = Admin(app, secret_key, engine)


class BookAdmin(ModelView):
    model = Book
    column_list = ['id', Book.name]


admin.add_view(BookAdmin)
```

and run the server using `fastapi dev` or `uvicorn app:app --reload`, which will serve you at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin`.
