Boilerplate for FastAPI

FastAPI docs Important

• Passwords are not actually getting hashed.
• All origins are allowed
• You might need to set $PYTHONPATH (to parentfolder of src, so where you cloned this repo to)

Docker

Setting up

Postgresql

• docker volume create postgres-data for persistence of database
• Create table users and dummydata: see scripts.py for simple function(s)
  • this can be done from either inside (Docker) container or from outside ofcourse.

Optional: Alembic

• pip install alembic
• alembic init alembic
• set URL in alembic.ini (so probably localhost:5432/)
• for --autogenerate, set target_metadata in alembics env.py like this:

import sys

sys.path = ['', '..'] + sys.path[1:]

from src.database import Base
from src.database.models import User
target_metadata = Base.metadata

Python (without Docker)

Well, thats a lie, we will still use docker for a postgres-database

Tested on Python 3.7+

• Create virtual env and activate it.

• pip install -r requirements.txt

• To run api: uvicorn main:app

  • optionally you can add --reload for watch functionality

docker-compose

• Make comment of/Remove the services of api and proxy in docker-compose.yaml

Postgres

• docker volume create postgres-data for persistence of database
• docker-compose up to run db.

Default config

Change default configs in:

• database/__init__.py
• Dockerfile
• docker-compose.yaml
