Official links: Website · Documentation · Live Demo --- The Form Builder That Generates Code Most form builders store their configuration in the database and generate forms at runtime. Milk Admin is different. The Projects module lets you design modules visually — tables, forms, field types, relations — and generates real PHP modules that you own completely. How it works: - The builder generates PHP modules extended by JSON configuration files - The JSON layer handles the builder's configuration updates - The PHP code is always the final authority — modify, extend, or rewrite freely - Both layers coexist: you can start with the builder and continue with code This means you can prototype rapidly without losing the ability to add custom business logic later. --- Real Columns, Not EAV Many admin frameworks and form builders use the EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) pattern to store form data: entity id field value ----------- ------- ------- 10 name Mario 10 age 42 This is flexible but creates complex queries, poor performance at scale, and difficult integrations.
