When to use Admin Panel vs adding Form Builder/Table Builder to own project?
I'm curious and have searched with no luck on the use case for using the Admin Panel(which includes Form and Table builder) vs just adding the Form and Table Builder to my own project.
What would be the conditions you would use Form Builder/Table Builder independent from the Admin Panel and visa versa?
Appreciate the feedback.

if your app is mostly CRUD based then using the admin panel could save time, as you have everything separated into resources where you can reuse forms and tables out of the box. and routing and layout design is done for you
if you have an existing app or you have a complex routing structure or layout design requirements then you could use the form and table builder outside the admin panel
I had the same question a couple of weeks ago. I have some custom requirements, like hiding the navigation for some roles, multi tenancy, profile selection in top bar, custom wizard styling and behaviour, and more to come. I started with just tables and forms. But it took me quite some more work to build it manually vs using full admin panel. So I switches pretty early to full admin panel and managed to do all customisation in there. I wouldn't want to go back.
I did the same ahaha
