fast-stack-forge 1.0.3

CLI toolkit - Create FastAPI, dbt, AI services and more applications quickly

⚡ fast-stack-forge

FastForge is a powerful, Symfony-style CLI scaffolder designed to bootstrap and accelerate the development of FastAPI applications. It provides a robust, production-ready directory structure, fully integrated with uv for lightning-fast package management, alongside essential utilities like rate limiting, scheduling, WebSocket management, and JWT middleware.

✨ Features

• Rapid Scaffolding: Generate full FastAPI projects with a single command.
• Entity Generation: Automatically create models, schemas, controllers, and routers for your database entities.
• AI Service Integration: Instantly scaffold RAG, Agentic, and OCR services powered by LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Azure).
• dbt Support: Built-in commands to initialize and manage analytical engineering pipelines.
• Data Sync: Generate ELT scripts to sync NoSQL databases (like MongoDB) to relational databases (like PostgreSQL).
• Production-Ready: Includes pre-configured JWT middleware, rate limiting (slowapi), background scheduling (apscheduler), and WebSockets.

🚀 Installation

Since FastForge manages virtual environments and dependencies via uv, you should install it globally using uv tool:

uv tool install fast-stack-forge

(Alternatively, you can install from source: uv tool install git+https://github.com/SavanTech25/fast-stack-forge.git)

🛠️ Usage

1. Initialize a Project

To bootstrap a new project, use the init command. You can specify your preferred database engine (sqlite, postgresql, mysql, or mongodb).

fast-stack-forge init my_project --db mongodb

This will create a structured FastAPI project that utilizes pyproject.toml and a Makefile for streamlined development.

2. Run the Scaffolded Project

Navigate into your generated project and install dependencies:

cd my_project
make install
source .venv/bin/activate

Start the development server:

make run

3. Generate Entities (Models, Schemas, Controllers, Routers)

FastForge features a make:entity command that automatically generates your boilerplate code for a given entity. Make sure you run this from the root of your newly created project!

fast-stack-forge make:entity User name:string age:int email:string:hash is_active:bool

Field Syntax: name:type[:modifier]

• Types: string, int, float, bool, text, date, datetime
• Modifiers: encrypt, hash, nullable, fk=ModelName

4. FastForge ETL (dbt Integration)

FastForge now includes native scaffolding for analytical engineering via dbt!

To initialize a complete dbt project package inside your src/ directory:

fast-stack-forge init:etl my_dbt_project --archi medallion --connector local

• --archi: Choose default (stg, int, mart), medallion (bronze, silver, gold), or star (raw, dim, fact).
• --connector: Choose local (DuckDB), snowflake, bigquery, or postgres.

To quickly scaffold a dbt model inside your project without boilerplate:

fast-stack-forge make:dbt fact_user --view --incremental --layer silver

• --view: Sets materialization to view.
• --incremental: Configures incremental logic automatically.

5. Generate AI Services

FastForge includes a powerful make:service command that instantly scaffolds production-ready AI services (RAG, Agents, OCR) connected directly to your FastAPI routes.

fast-stack-forge make:service DocumentOCR --type ocr --provider azure

Options:

• --type: Choose rag (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), agent (Tool-calling Agent), agentic (Workflow State Graph), or ocr (Vision Extraction).
• --provider: Choose openai, anthropic, mistral, gemini, or azure.
• --vector-store: (For rag type only). Choose chroma (Local), qdrant (Cloud/Docker), or supabase (PostgreSQL/pgvector). Defaults to chroma.

Example: Building a fully-functional RAG service with Qdrant and OpenAI

fast-stack-forge make:service HelpdeskBot --type rag --provider openai --vector-store qdrant

This generates the HelpdeskBotService integrated with langchain-openai, langchain-qdrant, and automatically exposes a POST /helpdeskbot endpoint with JWT authentication in your FastAPI app!

6. Generate Data Sync Scripts (ELT)

To support the standard dbt architecture (where your operational database needs to be replicated to your analytical database), you can use the make:sync command.

fast-stack-forge make:sync MongoToPg --source mongodb --dest postgres

This scaffolds a pure-Python sync script utilizing pymongo, pandas, and sqlalchemy. The generated script handles flattening NoSQL documents and automatically syncing them to PostgreSQL, with built-in APScheduler boilerplate for continuous execution.

🏗️ Architecture

When you initialize a project with FastForge, it generates a clean, modular structure.

Generated Directory Structure

(Note: PyPI does not support Mermaid diagrams natively, so here is the ASCII representation of the architecture)

Explanation of Components

• app/main.py: The main FastAPI entry point. It handles lifecycle events (connecting to the database, starting schedulers) and attaches rate limiters.
• src/{project_name}/: Your primary application package, automatically recognized by pyproject.toml and uv.
  • entity/: Database models (SQLAlchemy or motor/MongoDB depending on your init choice).
  • schema/: Pydantic models for validation and serialization.
  • controller/: Business logic and database interaction functions.
  • router/: API route definitions, connected to your controllers.
  • data/: Database configuration and connection setup.
  • middleware/: Contains pre-configured JWTBearer middleware for instant authentication handling.
  • utils/:
    • limiter.py: Pre-configured slowapi rate limiting.
    • scheduling.py: Asynchronous background task scheduler via apscheduler.
    • connection_manager.py: Generic WebSocket manager.
    • crud_router.py: A generic factory for building standard CRUD routes effortlessly.
