This project is a realworld backend based on fastapi+mongodb. It can be used as a sample backend or a sample fastapi project with mongodb.
First, set environment variables and create database. For example using docker: :
export MONGO_DB=rwdb MONGO_PORT=5432 MONGO_USER=MONGO MONGO_PASSWORD=MONGO
docker run --name mongodb --rm -e MONGO_USER="$MONGO_USER" -e MONGO_PASSWORD="$MONGO_PASSWORD" -e MONGO_DB="$MONGO_DB" MONGO
export MONGO_HOST=$(docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' pgdb)
mongo --host=$MONGO_HOST --port=$MONGO_PORT --username=$MONGO_USER $MONGO_DBThen run the following commands to bootstrap your environment with poetry: :
git clone https://github.com/markqiu/fastapi-realworld-example-app
cd fastapi-realworld-example-app
poetry install
poetry shellThen create .env file (or rename and modify .env.example) in project root and set environment variables for application: :
touch .env
echo "PROJECT_NAME=FastAPI RealWorld Application Example" >> .env
echo DATABASE_URL=mongo://$MONGO_USER:$MONGO_PASSWORD@$MONGO_HOST:$MONGO_PORT/$MONGO_DB >> .env
echo SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) >> .env
echo ALLOWED_HOSTS='"127.0.0.1", "localhost"' >> .envTo run the web application in debug use:
uvicorn app.main:app --reloadYou must have docker and docker-compose tools installed to work with material in this section. First, create .env file like in Quickstart section or modify .env.example. MONGO_HOST must be specified as db or modified in docker-compose.yml also. Then just run:
docker-compose up -dApplication will be available on localhost or 127.0.0.1 in your browser.
All routes are available on /docs or /redoc paths with Swagger or ReDoc.
Files related to application are in the app directory. alembic is directory with sql migrations. Application parts are:
models - pydantic models that used in crud or handlers
crud - CRUD for types from models (create new user/article/comment, check if user is followed by another, etc)
db - db specific utils
core - some general components (jwt, security, configuration)
api - handlers for routes
main.py - FastAPI application instance, CORS configuration and api router including- Add more unit test
