Create FastAPI App (cfa)

Create and manage FastAPI applications

Quick Tour

Follow these steps to set up a FastAPI project. See the documentation for more details.

This is a pip package. Thus, the only thing you need to do, is to run:

pip install create-fastapi-app

To create a new applications at a directory ~/my_fastapi_dir, run:

cfa create ~/my_fastapi_dir

You can choose from three auth setups:

none - no auth (default)
self - self-managed auth
```
cfa create ~/my_fastapi_dir --auth=self
```
Will create a users table and auth mechanisms for authorizing requests
backend - auth managed by other backend
```
cfa create ~/my_fastapi_dir --auth=backend
```
Will create a logic for authorizing requests via external backend API. Remember to set the BACKEND_URL env var, as well as the GET_USER_BY_TOKEN_ENDPOINT env variable.

When trying to authorize, by default the app will call an endpoint at http://{BACKEND_URL}/{GET_USER_BY_TOKEN_ENDPOINT}/{token}. Make sure to have this endpoint and it returns a user object (with name, surname, email, etc)
