Full-Stack FastAPI React Application

Welcome to the Full-Stack FastAPI React Application tutorial! In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the process of building a modern web application using React for the frontend, FastAPI for the backend, and SQLite as our database. The backend is supported by SQLAlchemy and Pydantic, ensuring a robust and efficient development experience.

1. Introduction

This tutorial is a step-by-step guide for building a full-stack web application using React and FastAPI. Whether you are an experienced FastAPI developer or a beginner, this guide will take you from the basics of HTML, CSS, and Python to creating a fully functional application with a beautiful and interactive user interface.

2. Technologies Used

Frontend:
- React
- Bootstrap for styling
Backend:
- FastAPI
- SQLAlchemy
- Pydantic
Database:
- SQLite

3. Getting Started

3.1 Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

Node.js and npm
Python (3.7 or later)
pip (Python package installer)

3.2 Installation

Clone the repository and install the dependencies for both the frontend and backend:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/fullstack-fastapi-react.git
cd fullstack-fastapi-react

# Install frontend dependencies
cd frontend
npm install

# Install backend dependencies
cd ../backend
pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Project Structure

frontend: Contains the React application.
backend: Houses the FastAPI backend code.
database: Holds the SQLite database file.
api: API models and endpoints.
app: FastAPI application configuration.

5. Development Workflow

5.1 Frontend (React)

To start the React development server, run the following command in the frontend directory:

cd frontend
npm start

This will launch the development server at http://localhost:3000.

5.2 Backend (FastAPI)

Run the FastAPI backend using the following commands in the backend directory:

cd backend
uvicorn main:app --reload

This will start the FastAPI server at http://localhost:8000.

6. Configuration

Customize the application settings and configurations in the respective configuration files:

frontend/.env: Frontend environment variables.
backend/app/config.py: Backend configuration settings.

7. Deployment

Follow the deployment guides for React and FastAPI to deploy your application for production use.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during development or deployment, refer to the troubleshooting section in the documentation for solutions.
