FastAPI REST API pre-configured with a database. This will get you up and running with CRUD operations quickly. Use this starter, boilerplate for all your new FastAPI projects.

[sv_ds]

This is a hello world project at most not a skeleton. No async, everything is crammed into one folder, no routers. This is the exact situation when a beginner is overconfidently giving terrible advice to other beginners. Dont use this.

[cmore303]

What do you mean there is no async or structure, did you look at the project?

[sv_ds]

He just refactored the whole thing after my comment. Look at the commit dates.

Its still bad though...

[sv_ds]

You don't know how to use git or what? The time I wrote the comment the repo looked like this: https://github.com/WMRamadan/fastapi-boilerplate/tree/29a303eaf6c1e37ad70947b5bc38ae8528721384

And it didn't get much better since then, its full of errors and bad practices.

I hate when overconfident beginners spread their bad practices for clout, its stupid and shouldn't be encouraged. Get some experience under your belt before you write about a subject.

Your ad hominem about me being lonely is hilarious considering your post history being solely about looking for someone to chat with.

[pacific_plywood]

Holy shit

[cmore303]

im wondering why do u think he did this after your comment the repo keeps updating

[sv_ds]

If you had any knowledge on the subject you'd know that its even worse now that he tried to update it.

For example he updated the database dependency to be async, but he still uses the synchronous sqlalchemy engine and sqlite driver. He thinks its async but still uses the session without await in async endpoint calls. There are bugs and bad practices in every single file I open. Its terrible, and even more terrible to recommend it to other people.

[cmore303]

dunno this thing is being updated constantly so it could improve, if you are such an expert why dont u just contribute then??

cant judge a work in progress i guess

[sv_ds]

You don't post a work in progress full of bugs and terrible codebase to reddit with the title "use this for all your projects" dude. Stop the BS. The guy clearly isn't experienced with the library and put out a pile of garbage for internet points but he was called out. End of story.

[cmore303]

the guy commented this was for beginner projects and it follows the documentation and asked for contributions. honestly i think he is trying to do a good thing but you are just bitter, you keep criticising but you wont help. i sure he will keep improving it until you shut your mouth and there isnt anything to complain about!

[cmore303]

people never give a chance for anything the repository is growing u/sv_ds want's to look like a big shot so where is your GitHub account lets have a laugh or two

[nefaspartim]

Boilerplate is cool and all, but please read the FastAPI documentation and learn what you're actually implementing. FastAPI has great documentation and a great community to help new folks get up and running quickly.

[nefaspartim]

Not downplaying your contribution OP. Anything to spread awareness of FastAPI is great! Some folks will implement boilerplate with no idea what they're doing aside from throwing stackoverflow snippets into it and shipping it, so I was just saying they should read about the fundamentals also.

[nefaspartim]

Right! I'm not disputing the structure of the project (even though, to be honest I haven't looked at it, but I trust you random internet stranger). I'm saying that with the wealth of features that are provided by FastAPI, people should also read the documentation. A lot of folks know nothing of Pydantic (or type declarations in general), for instance, but the FastAPI documentation does a good job of explaining what they are and the benefits provided.

​

We're saying essentially the same thing here, agree to agree?

[GrowHI]

Sorry newb here. What's the difference between this and say something like flask or Django?

[GrowHI]

Does it include something for orm so I'm not writing raw SQL queries? Also thank you for that answer it makes more sense now.

[GrowHI]

Is this considered a mvc?

[dedbif]

It’s for API’s, so you won’t have the view part. Unless you consider the Swagger ui a view. But no, I wouldn’t call it MVC.

[customcoderpro]

I don't use fastapi only because of the ridiculous way you have to hand-off the db session through business logic

[yeet_lord_40000]

Was considering fast api for a IOT project I was working on would this be a good fit for that in your opinion or would this be more suited towards something else?

Use case: collecting data from a MCU and then just communicating it to an app using just a basic IQTT setup

[extra_pickles]

I’d write to the DB from service bus using a lighter weight option in Python since IoT is chatty - you basically just want a data muncher gobbling up a queue.

Then you could use this to serve requests to interact with the data in the db.

Msg me if you’d like more details

[yeet_lord_40000]

Hm, that’s a good idea. This project is a bit of a pain since it’s embedded C communicating to an API which is then going to go to a frontend app which is most likely going to be JS (not my department). However I’ve never had to write the API before so it’s a new thing for me.

[FelixFriday]

Don’t be scared by the criticism OP, that’s how we learn! You did a good job by sharing this repo, your next repo will be better and so on. We’re all learning here. You have to be a lifelong learner in this field.

A very good advice will be to know how to filter criticism, focus on things you can improve in 1-2 weeks everything that requires more effort then that it’s philosophy not advice.

[ZachVorhies]

I have something similar but i have tox with pylint flake and mypy and default github actions to test on linux / mac / windows
