The Full Stack FastAPI Template provides a complete foundation for building modern web applications with:
- Backend: FastAPI for Python backend API with SQLModel ORM and PostgreSQL database
- Frontend: React with TypeScript, Vite, and Chakra UI components
- Authentication: JWT token-based auth with secure password hashing
- Testing: Playwright for end-to-end tests and Pytest for backend tests
- Deployment: Docker Compose setup with Traefik reverse proxy for production
- DevOps: GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline included
- Modern Features: Dark mode support, email password recovery
The template comes pre-configured with all the necessary components wired together, allowing developers to focus on building their application rather than infrastructure setup. It includes comprehensive documentation for both development and deployment scenarios.
Key benefits include:
- Production-ready architecture out of the box
- Type safety throughout the stack (Python + TypeScript)
- Automated frontend client generation
- Secure defaults for authentication and database
- Easy customization through environment variables
The project can be easily cloned or initialized using Copier for project scaffolding. It's particularly well-suited for developers who want to quickly start a new full-stack project without spending time on initial configuration and boilerplate code.
