vue-stub

Why

I needed a quick and dirty FastAPI + Vue skeleton to illustrate a few techniques.

What

This creates two server-side background tasks that mock monitoring a database table and calling an external API (it's actually calling itself for the sake of simplicity), and sends live events to a simple Vue front-end, demonstrating how to integrate back-end asynchronous "processing" with a Vue app.

For a quick encore, it also generates PDFs. It's all using mostly the same database query for simplicity, but it's the makings of a simple AI front-end.

How

make deps
make init-db
make serve

To Do

Things this does not do:

• Caching (sane people would add some immediately, even if only in-process)
• Authentication
• External database queries (I decided to do a quick conversion of the classic Northwind Traders database to sqlite, for fun)
• External API calls (it actually calls itself)
• External queues/event sources (like what you might get from an Azure Function/Redis/etc.)
• Basic multi-client support
• Session management
• Proper dependency management (version pinning, virtualenv, etc.)
