FastSecForge is a robust, pluggable Python security boilerplate generator built on top of FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and MongoDB. It provides JWT authentication, user management, and a powerful CLI (typer) to scaffold fully functional, secure project templates in one command.

🚀 Features

• 🔑 JWT Authentication with secure password hashing (passlib[bcrypt])
• 🧩 Supports SQL (SQLAlchemy) & MongoDB (Motor)
• 📦 Pydantic v2+ for type-safe data validation and settings
• 🔧 Typer-based CLI for instant FastAPI boilerplate creation
• ♻️ Async-ready architecture optimized for performance
• 🔐 Security best practices out of the box (OAuth2 flows, CORS, rate limiting)

📦 Installation

Install FastSecForge from PyPI:

pip install fastsecforge

Or install in editable mode from source:

git clone https://github.com/reprompts/fastsecforge.git
cd fastsecforge
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate    # Windows: venv\\Scripts\\activate
pip install -e .            # editable mode

🛠️ CLI Usage

FastSecForge exposes one primary command: new_project. This will scaffold a complete FastAPI project for you.

fastsecforge <project_name>

• <project_name>: Name of the new project (also used as package name).

After running this, you will have:

<project_name>/
└── src/
    └── <project_name>/
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── main.py          # FastAPI app entrypoint
        ├── config.py        # Settings loader
        ├── database.py      # DB session & models
        ├── core/
        │   ├── __init__.py
        │   └── security.py  # Auth, password hashing, JWT utilities
        ├── models/
        │   ├── __init__.py
        │   └── user.py      # User ORM models
        ├── routers/
        │   ├── __init__.py
        │   ├── auth.py      # Authentication routes
        │   └── users.py     # User management routes
        ├── schemas/
        │   ├── __init__.py
        │   └── user.py      # Pydantic schemas
        └── templates/      # Additional template assets

🚀 Running the Generated Project

1. Navigate into the new project

   cd <project_name>
   

2. Create & activate a virtual environment

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate    # Windows: venv\\Scripts\\activate
   

3. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Configure environment variables

   • Rename .env.example to .env
   • Fill in your database URIs, JWT secret key, and other settings

5. Start the development server

   uvicorn src.<project_name>.main:app --reload
   

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