startfast 1.0.0

A comprehensive FastAPI project generator

StartFast

A CLI tool that generates production-ready FastAPI project structures. Saves you from setting up the same boilerplate every time you start a new API project.

pip install startfast
startfast my-api
cd my-api
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Why?

Setting up a new FastAPI project always takes the same couple hours: configuring the database, setting up authentication, organizing the folder structure, adding Docker files, configuring tests. This tool does all of that for you.

What you get

my-api/
├── app/
│   ├── main.py              # FastAPI application
│   ├── core/
│   │   ├── config.py        # Environment configuration
│   │   └── security.py      # JWT auth + password hashing
│   ├── api/v1/              # API routes
│   ├── models/              # Database models  
│   ├── schemas/             # Pydantic schemas
│   └── services/            # Business logic
├── tests/                   # pytest test suite
├── Dockerfile
├── docker-compose.yml
└── requirements.txt

The generated project includes:

• Async FastAPI setup with proper project structure
• PostgreSQL with async SQLAlchemy (or SQLite/MySQL/MongoDB)
• JWT authentication and user management
• Docker and docker-compose configuration
• pytest with test fixtures
• Environment-based configuration
• CORS, error handling, and health check endpoints

Installation

pip install startfast

Requires Python 3.8 or higher.

--db sqlite      # For development/prototyping
--db mysql       # If you need MySQL
