sirius-cli 0.2.4

A rapid prototyping tool for generating containerized backend + frontend CRUD stacks from CSV/SQLite files.

Sirius-CLI

A rapid prototyping CLI tool designed to take multiple CSV files, Excel spreadsheets, a SQLite database, or a JSON configuration file as inputs, automatically infer their structural schemas and relationships, and generate:

• A production-grade, container-ready FastAPI backend (with SQLAlchemy models, Pydantic v2 validation schemas, and automated Alembic migrations).
• A modular, responsive, multi-page React 18 (TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS) CRUD frontend with dynamic relational selectors and a beautiful Dashboard.

---

Key Capabilities

• Automatic Relationship Mapping: Automatically extracts foreign keys from databases and resolves CSV/Excel associations using naming heuristics (linking [table]_id fields), navigating irregular English plurals effortlessly.
• Auto-Seeding: Automatically seeds the generated database with the entries inside the source CSV/Excel files during migration (if using SQLite).
• Relational Integrity: Generates dropdowns in the UI for foreign keys and displays badges that navigate to parent entities.
• Enterprise Data Grid: The generated tables feature server-side searching (?search=), server-side column sorting (?order_by=), and dual data export buttons (CSV and Excel .xlsx).
• Dashboard Analytics: A built-in Recharts dashboard showing live dataset distribution and entity insights.
• Multiple Database Engines: Target SQLite for rapid local prototyping, or generate PostgreSQL and MySQL ready projects out of the box using --pg and --mysql.
• Iterative Updates: Use sirius-update to safely inject new tables or columns into an existing scaffolded project.

Installation

Install the package directly from PyPI:

pip install sirius-cli

(For local development: clone the repository and run pip install -e .)

---

Usage: Creating a New Project (sirius-init)

1. Generating from CSVs or Excel

# From CSVs
sirius-init init store_system --csv examples/users.csv --csv examples/orders.csv --theme violet

# From Excel
sirius-init init store_system --excel examples/products.xlsx --theme amber

2. Target Production Databases

By default, the stack uses an embedded SQLite file (app.db). You can target Postgres or MySQL instead:

sirius-init init billing_system --config schema.json --pg

(The generated docker-compose.yml and database.py will expect a DATABASE_URL environment variable).

3. Generating from JSON Configuration

Specify database schemas, relationships, and colors in a JSON file:

{
  "project_name": "billing_system",
  "theme": "emerald",
  "entities": {
    "customers": {
      "columns": [
        { "name": "id",        "type": "Integer", "is_pk": true },
        { "name": "name",      "type": "String" },
        { "name": "email",     "type": "String" },
        { "name": "is_active", "type": "Boolean" }
      ]
    },
    "invoices": {
      "columns": [
        { "name": "id",          "type": "Integer", "is_pk": true },
        { "name": "ref_no",      "type": "String" },
        { "name": "amount",      "type": "Float" },
        { "name": "customer_id", "type": "Integer", "foreign_key": "customers.id" },
        { "name": "created_at", "type": "DateTime" }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Then run:

sirius-init init billing_system --config examples/billing-config.json

4. Generating with JWT Authentication

Pass the --auth flag to scaffold a secure project. This generates an app_users table, a beautiful Login screen, and protects all FastAPI routes with JWT Bearer tokens automatically.

sirius-init init secure_system --csv examples/users.csv --auth --admin-user "superadmin" --admin-pass "securepass123"

---

Usage: Updating an Existing Project (update)

If your data requirements change (e.g., adding a reviews table to your store), you don't need to start from scratch. Use the update command to merge new schemas into an existing project.

sirius-init update ./store_system --csv examples/new_reviews.csv

Sirius-CLI will:

1. Regenerate your SQLAlchemy models and Pydantic schemas.
2. Regenerate your frontend routing and CRUD views.
3. Automatically run alembic revision --autogenerate and alembic upgrade head to apply the database migrations seamlessly.

Running the Scaffolded Stack

Using Docker Compose

cd <project_name>
docker compose up --build

Running Locally

1. Start Backend:

   cd <project_name>
   pip install -r backend/requirements.txt
   uvicorn backend.main:app --reload --port 8000
   

2. Start Frontend:

   cd <project_name>/frontend
   npm install
   npm run dev
   

   Open http://localhost:5173/ in your browser.
