What are Django admin views and how do I customize them?

Django admin views are the default interface for managing your models in the Django admin site. You can customize them by overriding the default admin classes.

Can you give me an example of how to override a model's admin view?

Sure! You can create a custom admin class by inheriting from admin.ModelAdmin and then register it with your model. For example:

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import MyModel

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('field1', 'field2')

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

What other customizations can I make to the admin views?

You can customize the list display, search fields, filters, and even the forms used for adding or editing objects. You can also add custom actions.

Is it possible to add custom JavaScript or CSS to the admin views?

Yes, you can add custom JavaScript and CSS by overriding the get_media method in your custom admin class.
