This is a backend boiler plate using FastAPI and PostgreSQL

create users

secure login using JWT token exchange

create/read items specific for each user

To use this boilerplate, follow these directions:

TC = terminal command

---

create a virtual environment:

TC: python -m venv .venv
TC: source .venv/bin/activate

---

download dependencies

TC: pip install fastapi
TC: pip install sqlalchemy
TC: pip install alembic
TC: pip install pyjwt
TC: pip install "passlib[bcrypt]"
TC: pip install psycopg2

---

download/setup postgreSQL

There are a few ways to do this. Click here for the PostgreSQL documentation

---

migrations

migrate down:
TC: alembic downgrade base
migrate up:
TC: alembic revision

---

setup an .env file

create a secret key for the security protocol TC: openssl rand -hex 32
copy the string and paste it in the .env as:
SECRET_KEY={your secret key}

after you've created a postgreSQL database, put the following code into the .env file: DATABASE_URL=postgresql://{username}:{password}@localhost/{dbname}
