FastAPI Boilerplate

Dockerized FastAPI boilerplate for a quick environment setup with some (opinionated) sane defaults.

Build with:

• Docker & Docker Compose (for local development)
• Tortoise-ORM with PostgreSQL
• Migrations by aerich
• User management by FastAPI-users
• Uvicorn

Getting started

1. Clone the repo

$ git clone [email protected]:villeristi/fastapi-boilerplate.git

2. Create the .env-file

$ cp .env.example .env

3. Start the containers

$ docker-compose up -d

4. Get to tha choppa container

$ docker exec -it fabp_app

5. Initialize base DB-schema

$ aerich init-db # inside the container

6. Create superuser

$ ./bin/createsuperuser  # inside the container

(6.5 Optional: Generate fake data)

$ ./bin/fakedata  # inside the container

7. Logging

Default logging is configured in src/util/logger.py and logs everything to stdout. To actually see what's going on in your application, just grab the logs from the container using

$ docker logs fabp_app -f

Uvicorn is watching the src directory by default and reloads application accordingly.

8. Done!

Now everything's set up and one can start building something useful!

Migrations

1. Create migrations after initializing new models / changing existing models

aerich migrate # inside the container

2. Apply migrations

aerich upgrade  # inside the container
