Accelerate your next web development project with this FastAPI/Nuxt.js base project generator.

This project is for developers looking to build and maintain full-feature progressive web applications using Python on the backend / Typescript on the frontend, and want the complex-but-routine aspects of auth 'n auth, and component and deployment configuration, taken care of, including interactive API documentation.

This is a comprehensively updated fork of Sebastián Ramírez's Full Stack FastAPI and PostgreSQL Base Project Generator. FastAPI is updated to version 0.88 (November 2022), SQLAlchemy to version 2.0 (January 2023), and the frontend to Nuxt 3.2 (February 2023).

This FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Neo4j & Nuxt 3 repo will generate a complete web application stack as a foundation for your project development.

• Docker Compose integration and optimization for local development.
• Authentication user management schemas, models, crud and apis already built, with OAuth2 JWT token support & default hashing. Offers magic link authentication, with password fallback, with cookie management, including access and refresh tokens.
• FastAPI backend with Inboard one-repo Docker images:
  • SQLAlchemy version 2.0 support for models.
  • MJML templates for common email transactions.
  • Metadata Schema based on Dublin Core for inheritance.
  • Common CRUD support via generic inheritance.
  • Standards-based: Based on (and fully compatible with) the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI and JSON Schema.
  • Many other features: including automatic validation, serialization, interactive documentation, etc.
• Nuxt/Vue 3 frontend:
  • Authorisation via middleware for page access, including logged in or superuser.
  • Model blog project, with Nuxt Content for writing Markdown pages.
  • Form validation with Vee-Validate 4.
  • State management with Pinia, and persistance with Pinia PersistedState.
  • CSS and templates with TailwindCSS, HeroIcons, and HeadlessUI.
• PostgreSQL database.
• PGAdmin for PostgreSQL database management.
• Celery worker that can import and use models and code from the rest of the backend selectively.
• Flower for Celery jobs monitoring.
• Neo4j graph database, including integration into the FastAPI base project.
• Load balancing between frontend and backend with Traefik, so you can have both under the same domain, separated by path, but served by different containers.
• Traefik integration, including Let's Encrypt HTTPS certificates automatic generation.
• GitLab CI (continuous integration), including frontend and backend testing.

After using this generator, your new project (the directory created) will contain an extensive README.md with instructions for development, deployment, etc. You can pre-read the project README.md template here too.
