from litestar import Litestar
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncEngine, create_async_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped, mapped_column
from starlette_admin.contrib.sqla import ModelView
from starlette_admin_litestar_plugin import StarlettAdminPluginConfig, StarletteAdminPlugin

# Create engine and models
engine = create_async_engine("sqlite+aiosqlite:///:memory:")

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

class Product(Base):
    __tablename__ = "products"
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    name: Mapped[str]
    price: Mapped[int]

# Configure admin
admin_config = StarlettAdminPluginConfig(
    views=[ModelView(Product)],
    engine=engine,
    title="My Admin",

Advanced Alchemy Support! Usage with UUID7 Models

from advanced_alchemy.base import UUIDv7AuditBase
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from starlette_admin_litestar_plugin.ext.advanced_alchemy import UUIDModelView

# Define model with UUID and audit
class Product(UUIDv7AuditBase):
    __tablename__ = "products"
    name: Mapped[str]
    price: Mapped[int]

# Optional: Add validation
class ProductInput(BaseModel):
    name: str = Field(..., max_length=100)
    price: int = Field(..., ge=0)

# Configure admin with UUID support
admin_config = StarlettAdminPluginConfig(
    views=[UUIDModelView(Product, pydantic_model=ProductInput)],
