⚡ FasterAPI — Scaffold FastAPI Apps with Ease

nats-fasterapi is a CLI tool that helps you scaffold and supercharge FastAPI projects.

It generates schemas, CRUD repositories, services, routes, and authentication utilities — so you can focus on building features instead of repetitive boilerplate. Think of it as a FastAPI project generator + productivity booster 🚀.

✨ Features

• 🏗️ Generate Pydantic schemas with a single command.
• 🗄️ Generate CRUD repositories backed by MongoDB (motor), Redis, or custom logic.
• 🔧 Generate service layers to connect repositories and routes.
• 🌐 Generate API routes with versioning support (latest-modified / highest-number).
• 🔑 Generate token-based authentication utilities (repository + dependencies).
• ⚡ Mount routes automatically into main.py.
• 🎯 Interactive prompts or automation-friendly -y (yes) flag.
• 📦 Designed for scalable microservices using FastAPI.

🛣️ Roadmap

Here’s what’s coming next for FasterAPI 🚀:

Database Support

• SQLAlchemy (PostgreSQL / MySQL) repository generator
• SQLite lightweight repository scaffolding
• Cassandra & DynamoDB templates
• Neo4j graph database integration

Global Config Support

• Central config file (fasterapi.yaml) to scaffold schema, repo, service, and routes automatically
• Environment-specific overrides for config-driven scaffolding

Authentication Enhancements

• Social logins (Google, GitHub, Facebook, Twitter) with OAuth2
• JWT refresh token rotation utilities
• API key and HMAC authentication scaffolding

Project Scaffolding

• fasterapi new myproject to bootstrap a full FastAPI project
• Opinionated folder structure with best practices baked in

DX (Developer Experience) Improvements

• Global --yes flag (applies to all commands for CI/CD)
• Configurable templates for schema, CRUD, services, routes
• Built-in Dockerfile & docker-compose scaffolding
• Built-in GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow generator

Other Ideas

• CLI autocompletion for bash/zsh/fish
• Schema-first API generator (OpenAPI → code scaffolding)
• Hot reload template customization
