ILLA

This tutorial outlines the process of creating an Admin Panel using ILLA Builder and Supabase in a few simple steps. ILLA is a low-code platform for developers that enables the rapid development and deployment of internal tools. It allows for creating pages by dragging and dropping UI components, connecting to any database or API, and writing JavaScript.

;

Update user data. Update user information when id matches

, email = "{{input4.value}}"
WHERE id="{{input2.value}}"
;

Insert user data

INSERT INTO user VALUES("{{input5.value}}","{{input6.value}}","{{input7.value}}");

Delete a user by id

DELETE FROM user WHERE id = "{{input2.value}}";

Step 4: Show data on components#

Configure the properties of components with {{ . For example:
