Requirements

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following requirements in place:

Python 3.6 or higher installed on your system.
Familiarity with Python programming language concepts.

GreatAPI is built upon the foundation of the following robust libraries:

FastAPI: A modern, fast, web framework for building APIs with Python.
uvicorn: ASGI server that runs FastAPI applications.
typer: A command-line interface library for building CLI applications.
jinja2: A templating engine for Python.
SQLAlchemy: A powerful Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Python.

Installation

To install GreatAPI and its dependencies, use pip:

pip install greatapi

Getting Started

Step 1: Start a New Project

To begin working with GreatAPI, let's create a new project. Open your terminal and execute the following command:

greatapi startproject myproject

This will create a new directory named "myproject" with the basic structure to get you started.

myproject/

├──__init__.py

├──settings.py

main.py

Step 2: Create a New App

An app in GreatAPI is a modular unit that encapsulates specific functionality of your project. To create a new app, run the following command:

greatapi startapp myapp

This will generate a new directory named "myapp" containing the necessary files and folders for your app.

myapp/

├──__init__.py

├──models.py

├──repository.py

├──router.py

├──schemas.py

Step 3: Run the Server

Now, it's time to run the development server. Execute the following command:

greatapi runserver

Step 4: Creating a Superuser

After running the server, let's create a superuser to manage the administration of your project. Execute the following command:

greatapi createsuperuser

Follow the prompts to create the superuser account and again run the server.

The server will start, and you can access your application at http://localhost:8000/. Additionally, GreatAPI provides a beautifully designed built-in Admin Panel accessible at http://localhost:8000/admin.
