Create FastAPI Project

We love ❤️ FastAPI and its ecosystem so we decided to make easier to get started with FastAPI projects. By using the create-fastapi-project CLI tool, you can quickly start building a new FastAPI application with a basic folder structure, with everything set up for you.

To get started, use the following command:

pip install create-fastapi-project
create-fastapi-project

After you that you are going to see an interactive screen like this:

Getting Started

The commands in this documentation can be customized on the Makefile. It can be started with and without docker.

After your project is created. First, make sure you have all packages installed:

make install

Run the server:

# Run locally without docker
make run-app
# or
# Run locally with docker in dev mode and force build
make run-dev-build
# or
# Run locally with docker in dev mode
make run-dev-build
# or
# Run locally with docker in prod mode
make run-prod

This is a project template which uses FastAPI, Alembic and async SQLModel as ORM. It shows a complete async CRUD template using authentication. Our implementation utilizes the newest version of FastAPI and incorporates typing hints that are fully compatible with Python 3.10 and later versions. If you're looking to build modern and efficient web applications with Python, this template will provide you with the necessary tools to get started quickly. You can read a short article with the motivations for starting this sample project here.

Why Use This Template?

Developing web applications can be a challenging process, especially when dealing with databases, authentication, asynchronous tasks, and other complex components. Our template is designed to simplify this process and offer you a solid starting point. Some of the highlights of this template include:

FastAPI Integration: FastAPI is a modern and efficient web framework that allows you to quickly and easily create APIs. This template uses the latest features of FastAPI and offers type hints that are compatible with Python 3.10 and later versions.
Asynchronous Database Management: We use SQLModel, an asynchronous ORM library, to interact with the database efficiently and securely.
Asynchronous Tasks with Celery: This template includes examples of how to execute asynchronous and scheduled tasks using Celery, which is ideal for operations that require significant time or resources.
Authentication and Authorization: We implement JWT-based authentication and role-based access control to ensure that your APIs are secure and protected.
Documentation and Automated Testing: The template is configured to automatically generate interactive documentation for your APIs. It also includes automated tests using pytest to ensure code quality.
Development Best Practices: We apply code formatting, type checking, and static analysis tools to ensure that the code is readable, robust, and reliable.
