Why

Strapi gives you a beautiful view of your content types and almost none of your database. DBView fills the gap: it lists the real tables behind the models, including the join tables and the ones Strapi generated for you, and lets you page through them from the admin sidebar.

It is useful the moment a relation does not look the way the content manager says it should. It is the same idea as DBView for Filament, rebuilt for a different admin panel.

What it does

  • Shows the real tables, including the join and lifecycle tables Strapi creates
  • Mounts in the Strapi admin sidebar as a first class plugin
  • Uses the database connection already defined in your config
  • Sorts, searches and paginates without leaving the admin
  • Is read only by design: no write path exists
