## Description

Admin-bro is a Node.js administrative panel framework that automatically transforms database schemas into functional content management systems and backend dashboards. It provides a visual interface for performing create, read, update, and delete operations on records across various supported data sources.

The framework uses model-driven UI generation to map database metadata to form components and employs an adapter-based abstraction layer to translate administrative operations into specific database queries. It supports the execution of custom business logic and operational workflows through action-based triggers linked to specific resource records.

The system includes capabilities for data visualization via administrative dashboards and business intelligence reporting. It also provides tools for schema-based input validation, resource metadata extension using decorators, and a plugin-based architecture for adding custom interface components.
