fastapi-forge 0.4.2

Generate FastAPI projects based on database schema.

FastAPI-Forge

🚀 Build FastAPI Projects — Fast, Scalable, and Hassle-Free!

FastAPI-Forge lets you define your database models through a UI, letting you select additional optional services, and then generates a full working project for you, with tests and endpoints. The generated project follows best practices, in an easy-to-work with and scalable architecture. It will contain SQLAlchemy models of the database models you've defined in the UI, along with implementations of your selected services.

🧰 Using the Makefile

The generated project includes a Makefile to simplify common dev tasks:

Start the Application

make up

Run Tests

Tests are automatically generated based on your schema. Once the app is running (make up):

make test

Run Specific Tests

make test-filter filter="test_name"

Format and Lint Code

Keep your code clean and consistent:

make lint

📦 Database Migrations with Alembic

If you chose Alembic for migrations during project setup, these commands will help manage your database schema:

Generate a New Migration

make mig-gen name="add_users_table"

Apply All Migrations

make mig-head

Apply the Next Migration

make mig-up

Roll Back the Last Migration

make mig-down
