Interactive CLI tool for generating production-ready FastAPI project templates

MoltPy

MoltPy is an interactive CLI tool that generates production-ready, customizable FastAPI project templates from modular building blocks.

Features

• Interactive Wizard — Step-by-step CLI prompts with sensible defaults and live dependency visualization
• Modular Architecture — 36 modules; enable only what you need
• Declarative Configuration — Generate and reuse moltpy.yaml or JSON configuration files
• UV Integration — Modern, fast Python package management
• Docker Ready — Multi-stage Dockerfile and Docker Compose setup
• Authentication — JWT and OAuth2 password flow out of the box
• Database — SQLAlchemy 2.0 with Alembic migrations
• Background Jobs — Celery or ARQ with Redis broker
• Testing — pytest with async support and coverage
• Logging — Structured JSON logging with structlog
• CI/CD — GitHub Actions workflows included
• Documentation — MkDocs with Material theme
• Resource Scaffolder — Generate CRUD layers (model, schema, router, service, tests) with moltpy generate resource
• Dry Run — Preview projects before generating with --dry-run
• Safe Defaults — Overwrite protection with --force opt-in
• Syntax Validation — Generated Python is validated with py_compile before delivery
• Email Templates — Responsive HTML and plain-text templates for welcome, password reset, and receipts
• Grafana Dashboards — Pre-configured observability dashboard when observability and docker are selected
• Frontend SDK Generation — Auto-generate typed TypeScript clients from your OpenAPI specification
• Terraform IaC — Production-ready AWS/GCP infrastructure configurations
• Auto-Generated Docs — docs/modules.md and CONTRIBUTING.md generated for every project
• External Modules — Load modules from GitHub repositories (github:user/repo#module-name) or ~/.config/moltpy/modules/
• Custom Template Overrides — Override built-in templates with --template-dir for corporate branding or internal conventions

Installation

# Install with UV (recommended)
uv tool install moltpy

# Or with pip
pip install moltpy

Demo

$ moltpy new --preset standard --name my-api

✅ Project my-api created at ./my-api
   10 modules included

Next steps:
   cd my-api
   uv sync
   make run-dev

Quick Start

Interactive Mode

moltpy new

Follow the prompts to configure your project.

Preset Mode

# Use a built-in preset
moltpy new --preset standard --name my-api

# Available presets: minimal, standard, full-stack, microservice

Custom Modules

moltpy new --name my-api --modules auth,database,docker,testing

# With a GitHub module
moltpy new --name my-api --modules auth,github:user/repo#my-module --no-interactive

# With custom template overrides
moltpy new --name my-api --preset standard --template-dir ./my-templates --no-interactive

Resource Scaffolding (Day-2)

After creating a project, scaffold new CRUD resources without writing boilerplate:

cd my-api

# Generate a complete CRUD resource
moltpy generate resource Post title:str content:text is_published:bool

# Preview without writing
moltpy generate resource Post title:str --dry-run

# Skip the Alembic migration
moltpy generate resource Post title:str --skip-alembic

Declarative Configuration

# Generate a starter config file
moltpy init-config --preset standard --output moltpy.yaml

# Edit moltpy.yaml, then generate from it
moltpy new --config-file moltpy.yaml --no-interactive

# Or use JSON
moltpy new --config-file moltpy.json --no-interactive
