ecom-foundation-core 0.1.5

E-Com Foundation Platform: A modular foundation for building high-performance enterprise microservices, powering systems like the International Regulatory Management System (IRMS).

⚡ ecom-foundation-core

A production-ready enterprise foundation for FastAPI microservices. Stop rebuilding boilerplate. Start building your product.

---

📖 What is this?

ecom_foundation_core is a modular, async-first Python package that gives you a fully working enterprise backend foundation from Day 1. It handles all the "undifferentiated heavy lifting" that every serious application needs — Authentication, Role-Based Access Control, Billing, Audit Logging, Notifications, and Background Workflows — so your engineering team can focus on building the features that actually differentiate your product.

Powering real products including the Ordvel Marketplace and the International Regulatory Management System (IRMS).

✨ Feature Overview

Module	What it gives you
🔑 Auth	JWT login & signup, 2FA (Email/SMS/TOTP), password reset, email verification, session management
🛡️ RBAC	Role assignment, fine-grained permission checks, multi-scope enforcement
📜 Audit	Automatic immutable logs on every INSERT, UPDATE & DELETE in your database
💳 Billing	Payment provider abstraction (Stripe, Paystack, or your own) with transaction history
🔔 Notifications	Email notification service with template support
⚙️ Workflows	Celery worker integration for async background tasks
🔧 Common	Shared database engine, Redis client, rate limiting, security headers, and monitoring

---

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install

pip install ecom-foundation-core

# With PostgreSQL support (recommended)
pip install "ecom-foundation-core[postgres]"

2. Configure your environment

Create a .env file (or set these environment variables directly):

DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb
SECRET_KEY=your-super-secret-key-at-least-32-chars
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
SECURITY_HEADERS_ENABLED=False  # Set to True in production

3. Bootstrap your FastAPI application

This is all the code you need to have a fully working, secure API with Auth, RBAC, Billing, and Audit:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine
from ecom_foundation_core.bootstrap import create_app, AppConfig

# 1. Configure which modules to enable
config = AppConfig(
    title="My Service",
    version="1.0.0",
    enable_auth=True,        # Mounts /auth endpoints
    enable_rbac=True,        # Mounts /rbac endpoints
    enable_audit=True,       # Enables automatic audit logging
    enable_billing=True,     # Mounts /billing endpoints
    enable_notifications=True,
)

# 2. Connect your database
engine = create_async_engine("postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@localhost/mydb")

# 3. Bootstrap — done!
app = create_app(config=config, db_engine=engine)

Your app now has full Swagger docs at http://localhost:8000/docs with all modules pre-wired.

🔑 Auth (/auth)

Method	Route	Description
POST	/auth/register	Register a new user
POST	/auth/login	Login and receive JWT tokens
GET	/auth/me	Get current authenticated user
POST	/auth/refresh	Refresh an access token
POST	/auth/logout	Revoke the current session
POST	/auth/password-reset/request	Request a password reset email
POST	/auth/password-reset/confirm	Reset password using token
POST	/auth/verify-email	Verify email address

🛡️ RBAC (/rbac)

Method	Route	Description
GET	/rbac/roles	List all available roles
POST	/rbac/roles	Create a new role
POST	/rbac/users/{user_id}/roles	Assign a role to a user
DELETE	/rbac/users/{user_id}/roles/{role_id}	Remove a role from a user

📜 Audit (/audit)

Method	Route	Description
GET	/audit/logs	List all audit log entries
GET	/audit/logs/{entity_id}	Get audit history for a specific entity

🧬 Extending the Foundation

The foundation is designed to be built upon. Adding your own models is straightforward:

Adding a Custom Model with Automatic Audit Logging

from sqlalchemy import Column, String, Integer
from ecom_foundation_core.modules.common.database import Base
from ecom_foundation_core.modules.audit.mixins import AuditableMixin

class Product(Base, AuditableMixin):
    """Your model — audit logging is automatic."""
    __tablename__ = "products"

    id = Column(String(36), primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(255), nullable=False)
    price = Column(Integer, default=0)

Any INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE on this model will automatically be captured and stored in the audit log — zero extra code required.

Using Dependency Injection

from fastapi import Depends, APIRouter
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from ecom_foundation_core.modules.common.database import get_async_session
from ecom_foundation_core.modules.rbac.dependencies import require_permission

router = APIRouter()

@router.get("/admin/reports")
async def admin_reports(
    db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_async_session),
    _: None = Depends(require_permission("reports:read")),
):
    # Only users with the 'reports:read' permission can reach this
    ...

Adding a Custom Payment Provider

from typing import Any
from ecom_foundation_core.modules.billing.providers import PaymentProvider

class MyCustomProvider(PaymentProvider):
    async def initialize_transaction(
        self, amount: int, currency: str, user_email: str, **kwargs: Any
    ) -> dict[str, Any]:
        # Call your payment gateway here
        return {"checkout_url": "...", "reference": "..."}

    async def verify_transaction(self, reference: str) -> bool:
        # Verify with your payment gateway
        return True
