⚡ Getting Started

1. Install the package

pip install fastapi-starter-kit

2. Create a new project

• This command scaffolds the project structure with all necessary folders, files, and initial configuration.

fastapi-start <project_name>
cd <project_name>

3. Install project dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure environment

A default .env file is automatically created when you generate the project.

It includes basic application, database, JWT, and logging configuration such as:

APP_NAME=FastAPI Starter Pack
APP_DESCRIPTION=A well-structured FastAPI starter with JWT auth
APP_VERSION=1.0.0
DEBUG=True

# Database
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///./app.db

# JWT Settings
JWT_SECRET_KEY=<your_secret_key_here>
JWT_ALGORITHM=HS256
JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=30
JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=1440  # 24H

# Logging
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
LOG_FILE=logs/app.log

LOGIN_URL=/auth/login

5. Initialize the database

alembic upgrade head

6. Run the application

Option: 1

python main.py

Option: 2

uvicorn main:app --reload

Your API will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
