FastAPI backend

Based on https://github.com/nsidnev/fastapi-realworld-example-app

Quickstart

First, run PostgreSQL, set environment variables and create database. For example using docker: ::

export POSTGRES_DB=rwdb POSTGRES_PORT=5432 POSTGRES_USER=postgres POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
docker run --name pgdb --rm -e POSTGRES_USER="$POSTGRES_USER" -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="$POSTGRES_PASSWORD" -e POSTGRES_DB="$POSTGRES_DB" postgres
export POSTGRES_HOST=$(docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' pgdb)
createdb --host=$POSTGRES_HOST --port=$POSTGRES_PORT --username=$POSTGRES_USER $POSTGRES_DB

Then run the following commands to bootstrap your environment with poetry:

git clone https://github.com/dev-courses/fastapi-backend
cd fastapi-realworld-example-app
poetry install
poetry shell

Then create .env file (or rename and modify .env.example) in project root and set environment variables for application:

touch .env
echo DB_CONNECTION=postgresql://$POSTGRES_USER:$POSTGRES_PASSWORD@$POSTGRES_HOST:$POSTGRES_PORT/$POSTGRES_DB >> .env
echo SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) >> .env

To run the web application in debug use

alembic upgrade head
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Deployment with Docker

You must have docker and docker-compose tools installed to work with material in this section. First, create .env file like in Quickstart section or modify .env.example. POSTGRES_HOST must be specified as db or modified in docker-compose.yml also. Then just run::

docker-compose up -d db
docker-compose up -d app

Application will be available on localhost in your browser.

Web routes

All routes are available on /docs or /redoc paths with Swagger or ReDoc.

Project structure

Files related to application are in the app or tests directories. Application parts are:

│   ├── migrations   - manually written alembic migrations.
│   └── repositories - all crud stuff.
├── models           - pydantic models for this application.
│   ├── domain       - main models that are used almost everywhere.
│   └── schemas      - schemas for using in web routes.
├── resources        - strings that are used in web responses.
├── services         - logic that is not just crud related.
└── main.py          - FastAPI application creation and configuration.
