NeutronAPI

High-performance Python framework built directly on uvicorn with built-in database models, migrations, and background tasks. If you want Django that was built async-first, this is for you.

Batteries included async API framework with command-line management.

Installation

pip install neutronapi

Quick Start

# 1. Create project
neutronapi startproject blog
cd blog

# 2. Create an app
python manage.py startapp posts

# 3. Start server  
python manage.py start               # Dev mode (auto-reload)

# 4. Test
python manage.py test

Getting Started Tutorial

1. Create Project

neutronapi startproject blog
cd blog

2. Create App Module

python manage.py startapp posts

3. Configure in apps/settings.py

import os

# ASGI application entry point (required for server)
ENTRY = "apps.entry:app"  # module:variable format

# Database
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'aiosqlite',
        'NAME': 'db.sqlite3',
    }
}

4. Create API in apps/posts/api.py

from neutronapi.base import API

class PostAPI(API):
    name = "posts"
    
    @API.endpoint("/posts", methods=["GET"])
    async def list_posts(self, scope, receive, send, **kwargs):
        posts = [{"id": 1, "title": "Hello World"}]
        return await self.response(posts)
    
    @API.endpoint("/posts", methods=["POST"])
    async def create_post(self, scope, receive, send, **kwargs):
        # Get request data from scope["body"]
        return await self.response({"id": 2, "title": "New Post"})

5. Register API in apps/entry.py

from neutronapi.application import Application
from apps.posts.api import PostAPI

app = Application({
    "posts": PostAPI()
})

6. Start Server

python manage.py start
# Visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/posts

Background Tasks

from neutronapi.background import Task, TaskFrequency

class CleanupTask(Task):
    name = "cleanup"
    frequency = TaskFrequency.MINUTELY
    
    async def run(self, **kwargs):
        print("Cleaning up logs...")

# Add to application
app = Application(
    apis={"ping": PingAPI()},
    tasks={"cleanup": CleanupTask()}
)

## Database Models

```python
from neutronapi.db.models import Model
from neutronapi.db.fields import CharField, IntegerField, DateTimeField

class User(Model):
    name = CharField(max_length=100)
    age = IntegerField()
    created_at = DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    
    # Table name inferred from class name (user -> users)

Server Commands

# Development (auto-reload, localhost)
python manage.py start

# Production (multi-worker, optimized)  
python manage.py start --production

# Custom configuration
python manage.py start --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --workers 4

Testing

# SQLite (default)
python manage.py test

# PostgreSQL (auto Docker bootstrap)
DATABASE_PROVIDER=asyncpg python manage.py test

# Specific tests
python manage.py test app.tests.test_models.TestUser.test_creation

Commands

python manage.py start              # Start server
python manage.py test               # Run tests  
python manage.py migrate            # Run migrations
python manage.py startapp posts     # Create new app
