Hi all our amazing members! We’ve finally released v3.3 of AdminBro.

This is a high level list of changes:

New configuration options
Handling nested schemas even if ORMs doesn’t handle them well (aka JSONB support)
Design System update with new components
New hooks for easier customisation and data management
Better data manipulation with the flat module
Architectural changes improving the quality of the product (some of them can break your existing app)

You can read more about the update in a detailed article

Our OpenSource repositories

Apart from admin-bro core package, we have also updated some of the modules. These changes are exciting as well!

@admin-bro/upload - got multi-file upload

I am super exited about this one. Now you can upload multiple files to one record. You can even use JSONB field set as an Array.
