Hello there, coding wanderer! 🌍 If you're here, you probably love FastAPI, enjoy PostgreSQL, and adore backends. Oh, and did I mention? We're now sailing smoothly with Docker! 🐳 No more environment discrepancies, just pure coding bliss.
Because the backend is where the real action happens! It's like the backstage of a rock concert - not visible to all, but without it, the show won't go on!
I took the majestic backend of the original full-stack-fastapi-postgresql project, dusted off the cobwebs, replaced the rusty bolts, and added a sprinkle of Docker goodness! A modernized, faster, and improved version now awaits you.
- FastAPI Magic - Because speed is not just about Fast & Furious movies!
- PostgreSQL Integration - Store data like a pro. No more data loss nightmares!
- Docker Integration - Set sail with a consistent environment. Because why let tech discrepancies ruin your day?
- Fixes, Fixes, Fixes - All those bugs? Gone! (Well, most of them, but let's be optimistic!)
To set this baby up:
If you don't have one yet, set up a .env file with your configuration. For a basic version for local testing use:
cp dot-env-template .envBe aware that .env is excluded from git because it contains secrets, API keys and so on. Never put your .env file into git.
Then build and start the test/debug stack with:
docker-compose up --buildThen:
- Visit http://localhost:4000/docs for the interactive API docs (Swagger). For initial super-username and password to first authenticate see your .env file.
- Modify your code, which is linked into the fastapi-app container and watch uvicorn auto-restart your app when changes have been made.
- Run pytest in your container with
docker exec fastapi-app bash ./test.sh [optional parameters] - Visit http://localhost:5050/ for the PostgreSQL administrator. Upon first use you'll need to register your DB server using your .env file.
Did you find more ancient bugs lurking around? Or perhaps you unearthed a potential treasure in the form of a feature? Pull requests are more than welcome. After all, multiple minds make light work. Let's polish this backend to be more radiant than a starry night! 💫
A grand salute to the maestro behind the original full-stack-fastapi-postgresql. Their innovative groundwork laid the foundation, allowing this revamped symphony to come to life.
Here's a nugget of wisdom: The frontend is your application's charming smile, but the backend? That's the beating heart and the brilliant mind! Nurture it, for a healthy heart and a sharp mind make dreams come alive. 😉
