FastAPI React Toolkit

A set of extensions for FastAPI and a React component library for building modern web applications with Mantine, Zustand, TanStack Query, and JsonForms.

Concept

FastAPI React Toolkit bootstraps a web API with FastAPI and provides a React component library for building a SPA frontend. It supports automatic CRUD API generation, RBAC, OAuth2/JWT authentication, database migrations, and i18n.

Features

Automatic CRUD API generation from SQLAlchemy models
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Database migrations (Alembic)
OAuth2/JWT authentication
Modular backend and frontend
React hooks and components for API, Auth, Language, DataGrid, UserMenu, etc.
Built-in i18n for backend and frontend

Getting Started

You can use fastapi-rtk create-app command to quickly set up a new project with the recommended structure and example code.

Backend

Install FastAPI React Toolkit:

pip install fastapi-rtk
mkdir -p app
touch run.py app/__init__.py app/app.py app/config.py app/models.py app/apis.py

Project files:

app/__init__.py

from fastapi_rtk import g

g.config.from_pyfile("./app/config.py")

app/app.py

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware
from fastapi_rtk import FastAPIReactToolkit

app = FastAPI(docs_url="/openapi/v1")

app.add_middleware(
    CORSMiddleware,
    allow_origins=["http://localhost:5173"],
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["*"],
    allow_headers=["*"],
)

toolkit = FastAPIReactToolkit(
    app,
    create_tables=True,      # Dev: auto-create tables
    upgrade_db=False,        # Prod: run migrations
)

from .apis import *  # noqa: E402, F403

app/config.py

See more configuration here.

import os

basedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# Required settings
SECRET_KEY = "your-secure-secret-key"
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = "sqlite+aiosqlite:///" + os.path.join(basedir, "app.db")

# Optional settings
APP_NAME = "My FastAPI-RTK App"

app/models.py

from fastapi_rtk import Model, Mapped, mapped_column, relationship
from sqlalchemy import String, ForeignKey

class Category(Model):
    __tablename__ = "categories"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
    name: Mapped[str] # Automatically set the column to String

    items: Mapped[list["Item"]] = relationship(back_populates="category")

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.name

class Item(Model):
    __tablename__ = "items"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100)) # Can also be explicitly given
    description: Mapped[str | None]

    category_id: Mapped[int | None] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("categories.id"))
    category: Mapped[Category | None] = relationship(back_populates="items")

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.name

app/apis.py

from fastapi_rtk import ModelRestApi, SQLAInterface, g
from .models import Item, Category

class ItemApi(ModelRestApi):
    resource_name = "items"
    datamodel = SQLAInterface(Item)

class CategoryApi(ModelRestApi):
    resource_name = "categories"
    datamodel = SQLAInterface(Category)

g.current_app.add_api(ItemApi)
g.current_app.add_api(CategoryApi)

It will create the following CRUD endpoints automatically, all under the resource prefix /api/v1/items:

GET /api/v1/items/_image/{filename} - Serve image files (If image column is present)
GET /api/v1/items/_file/{filename} - Serve file downloads (If file column is present)
GET /api/v1/items/_info - Get metadata about the model, including which columns can be added, edited, filtered, etc.
POST /api/v1/items/bulk/{handler} - Bulk operations, if set on the API class
GET /api/v1/items/download - Download items as CSV
GET /api/v1/items/ - List items
POST /api/v1/items/ - Create item
GET /api/v1/items/{id} - Get item by ID
PUT /api/v1/items/{id} - Update item by ID
DELETE /api/v1/items/{id} - Delete item by ID

Frontend

Install React dependencies:

pnpm install @mantine/core @mantine/dates @mantine/form @mantine/hooks dayjs react react-dom react-router fastapi-rtk

Project files:

webapp/index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <base href="%VITE_BASE_PATH%" />
    <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="" />
    <meta
      name="viewport"
      content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0"
    />
    <title>YOUR_APP_NAME_HERE</title>
    <script src="%VITE_BASE_PATH%server-config.js"></script>
    <script nonce="{{nonce}}">
      window.nonce = "{{nonce}}";
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="root"></div>
    <script type="module" src="/src/main.jsx"></script>
  </body>
</html>

src/main.jsx

import "@mantine/core/styles.css";
import "@mantine/dates/styles.css";
// Other Mantine styles can be imported here if needed

import "fastapi-rtk/styles.css";
import "./index.css";

import { MantineProvider } from "@mantine/core";
import { Provider } from "fastapi-rtk";
import { StrictMode } from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router";
import App from "./App.jsx";
import { BASE_PATH } from "./constants.js";

createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(
  <StrictMode>
    <MantineProvider>
      <Provider baseUrl={BASE_PATH + "api/v1"}>
        <BrowserRouter basename={BASE_PATH}>
          <App />
        </BrowserRouter>
      </Provider>
    </MantineProvider>
  </StrictMode>,
);

src/constants.js

export const BASE_PATH = new URL(document.baseURI).pathname;

Platform Adapters (React Native)

The frontend package is split in two: a Mantine/DOM-free package published as the fastapi-rtk/api subpath, and the Mantine-based web package (fastapi-rtk / fastapi-rtk/core). Every place the library touches the platform (storage, HTTP, cookies/tokens, file downloads, OAuth popups, FormData) goes through six small adapter interfaces (plus an optional localization adapter), grouped into an Adapters object. fastapi-rtk ships web defaults built on the DOM (cookie auth, localStorage, fetch, ...), so existing web apps need no changes.

An optional fastapi-rtk/react-native-adapters package provides factory functions (createReactNativeAdapters, plus per-adapter factories) that build the same six adapters on top of React Native / Expo primitives, using bearer JWT auth (auth/jwt/login) instead of the web's cookie auth (auth/login):

import { ApiProvider, Provider, useAuth } from "fastapi-rtk/api";
import { useApi } from "fastapi-rtk/contexts";
import { createReactNativeAdapters } from "fastapi-rtk/react-native-adapters";

const rnAdapters = createReactNativeAdapters({
  asyncStorage,
  fileSystem,
  sharing,
  webBrowser,
});

<Provider baseUrl="https://api.example.com/api/v1" adapters={rnAdapters}>
  <ApiProvider resource_name="items">
    {/* your own RN UI, driven by useApi()/useAuth() */}
  </ApiProvider>
</Provider>;

A single adapter can also be swapped on the web Provider via adapters={{ storage: mine }} (merged per-key over the web defaults; the rest stay web defaults).

See the wiki page React Native and Adapters for the full adapter reference (interfaces, per-adapter web/RN table, auth transports).
