Useful and multifunction FastApi template

Features

• as a main library
• as a database library
• as a dependency manager
• 🎨 OpenAPI docs on api/docs and api/redoc
• 🛠 Docker support with docker-compose

Usage

Create project

• 📌 Create and clone repo from this template
• 🔑 Rename example.toml to config.toml and change api settings

Install dependencies

• 🐍 Install poetry with command pip install poetry
• 📎 Install dependencies with command poetry install

Run project

• 🚀 Run project via python -m app

Docker

You can start the project with docker using this command:

docker-compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml --project-directory . up --build

Pre-commit checker

To install pre-commit simply run inside the shell:

pre-commit install

pre-commit is very useful to check your code before publishing it. It's configured using .pre-commit-config.yaml file.

By default, it runs:

• black (formats your code);
• flake8 (spots possible bugs);
