# Create API App Quickstart Tool
Welcome to the quickstart tool for creating a `FastAPI` project with a `NextJS` frontend.
This tool creates a predefined template while installing the most recent packages where possible.
Found on:
- [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/create-api-app/)
- [GitHub](https://github.com/Achronus/create-api-app/)

## Why This Tool?
Creating a project from scratch can be a tedious process. Not only do you have to create all the files yourself, it typically requires a lot of small minor changes that can easily be automated. So, rather than wasting a lot of time setting up projects, I created a tool that does it all for me!
I use this tool personally for `SaaS` and `ML API` projects and have found it extremely useful for immediately diving into coding without faffing around with setup details (except for configuring API keys). Hopefully, it's useful to you too!
## The Stack
All projects are created using the same stack, consisting of the following:
1. Backend
- [FastAPI](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi)
- [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/)
- [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/)
- [Beanie](https://beanie-odm.dev/)
- [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/)
- [Pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/)
- [Hypothesis](https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/)
2. Frontend
a. Core:
- [NextJS](https://nextjs.org/)
- [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/)
- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)
- [Lucide React](https://lucide.dev/)
- [Shadcn UI](https://ui.shadcn.com/)
b. Optional:
- [Clerk](https://clerk.com/docs/quickstarts/nextjs)
- [Uploadthing](https://uploadthing.com/)
- [Stripe](https://stripe.com/docs)
_Note: all libraries and packages are automatically installed to their latest versions when running the tool._
We've also added some extra files too! You can find out more about them in our [documentation](https://create.achronus.dev/file-structure/).
## Installation
1. Firstly, install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/), we use this to create the frontend files dynamically using the [Build NextJS App Tool](https://github.com/Achronus/build-nextjs-app).
2. Install the package through `PIP`:
```python
pip install create_api_app
```
3. Create a project with a `name` and an `optional` string of `exclusion` characters for the `optional` packages.
Exclusion options: `c`, `u`, `s`, `cs`, `cu`, `us`, `cus`.
_`c` = `Clerk`, `u` = `Uploadthing`, `s` = `Stripe`_
```python
create-api-app
```
And that's it! You'll find two folders in your project, one called `frontend` (for NextJS) and another called `backend` (for FastAPI).
## Running The Backend
1. Open a terminal and navigate to the `backend` directory:
```cmd
cd backend
```
2. Install a virtual environment for `Poetry`:
```cmd
python -m venv env
```
3. Access it using one of the following (first -> `Windows`; second -> `Mac/Linux`):
```cmd
.\env\Scripts\activate
```
```cmd
source ./env/bin/activate
```
_Not working? Refer to the [virtual env docs](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#how-venvs-work)._
4. Run the `uvicorn` server using the `Poetry` script:
```cmd
app-start
```
## Running the Frontend
1. Open a terminal and navigate to the `frontend` directory:
```cmd
cd frontend
```
2. Install the packages using [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en):
```cmd
npm install
```
3. Run the development server:
```cmd
npm run dev
```
## Customization
Customization options are found in our [documentation](https://create.achronus.dev/customization/).
