## What is Backpack?
-A software that helps Laravel professionals build administration panels - secure areas where administrators login and create, read, update and delete application information. It is *not* a CMS, it is more a framework that lets you *build your own* CMS. You can install it in your existing project or in a totally new project.

It is *not* a CMS, it is more a framework that lets you *build your own* CMS. You can install it in your existing project or in a totally new project.
It's designed to be flexible enough to allow you to **build admin panels for everything from simple presentation websites to CRMs, ERPs, eCommerce, eLearning, etc**. We can vouch for that, because we have built all that stuff using Backpack already.
## What's a CRUD?
-A **CRUD** is what we call a section of your admin panel that lets the admin _Create, Read, Update or Delete_ entries of a certain entity (or Model). So you can have a CRUD for Products, a CRUD for Articles, a CRUD for Categories, or whatever else you might want to create, read, update or delete.

### Front-End Design
-New Backpack installs come with an HTML theme installed - you choose which theme. All themes use Bootstrap, and have many HTML blocks ready for you to use. When you're building a custom page in your admin panel, it's easy to just copy-paste the HTML from the the theme's demo or from its documentation. And the page will look good, without you having to design anything. Currently we have three first-party themes:

### Authentication
-Backpack comes with an authentication system that's separate from Laravel's. This way, you can have different login screens for users & admins, if you need. If not, you can choose to use only one authentication - either Laravel's, or Backpack's.

Check out [the images here](https://backpackforlaravel.com/products/devtools) for how it works. It's especially useful for more complex entities. It is a paid tool though, and you might not be ready to purchase yet, so let's explore a free option too.

In both cases, what we're getting is a simple CRUD panel, which you should now be able to see in the Sidebar.
-For a simple entry like this, the generated CRUD panel will even work "as is", with no need for customisations. But don't expect this for more complex entities. They will usually have particularities and need customization. That's where Backpack shines - modifying anything in the CRUD Panel is easy and intuitive, once you understand how it works.

They will usually have specific requirements and need customization. That's where Backpack shines - modifying anything in the CRUD panel is easy and intuitive, once you understand how it works.
The methods above will generate:
- a **migration** file
- a **model** (```app\Models\Tag.php```)
- a **request** file, for form validation (```app\Http\Requests\TagCrudRequest.php```)
-- a **controller** file, where you can customize how the CrudPanel looks and feels (```app\Http\Controllers\Admin\TagCrudController.php```)
+- a **controller** file, where you can customize how the CRUD panel looks and feels (```app\Http\Controllers\Admin\TagCrudController.php```)
- a **route**, as a line inside ```routes/backpack/custom.php```
It will also add:

-You might have noticed that **no views** are generated. That's because in most cases you _don't need_ custom views with Backpack. All your custom code is in the controller, model or request, so the default views are loaded, from the package. If you do, however, need to customize a view, it is [ridiculously easy](/docs/{{version}}/crud-how-to#customize-views-for-each-crud-panel).

The only thing you need to make sure is that the Model is properly configured (database table, relationships, ```$fillable``` or ```$guarded``` properties, etc.) and that it uses our ```CrudTrait```.
