# Modern Python Web Stack

SQLAlchemy now has an asyncio extension. Strawberry is a new-ish GraphQL library based on Python

dataclasses that makes full use of type hints and mypy extensions. Codegen can generate typed React

hooks in TypeScript. This template or reference project shows how all these pieces can be put

together for an awesome typed developer experience.

This is a mini version of the [Inch](https://tryinch.com) tech stack. The schema is monitored by

[codegen](https://www.graphql-code-generator.com) that creates

[urql](https://github.com/FormidableLabs/urql) TypeScript hooks. The goal was to have strong data

consistency between the backend and frontend. Another benefit is a great VS Code environment that

highlights any potential errors when communicating with the backend.

## Getting started

Install Python and NPM packages

```bash

poetry install

npm i

```

Drop and recreate all database tables

```bash

poetry run python models.py

```

Run the Python GraphQL backend on port :8000 - Next.js will reverse proxy `/graphql` to here

```bash

poetry run uvicorn app:app --reload --host '::'

```

Start the GraphQL server

```bash

npm run codegen --watch

```

Run the frontend

```bash

npm run dev

```

## VS Code

Inside `.vscode/settings.json` you'll see how to have nice VS Code mypy errors, import sorting and

code formatting. Pylance does not yet deal well with declarative type hinted SQLAlchemy models.

However there are pretty good SQLA type stubs and a mypy plugin. That's why in the settings you'll

see `python.analysis.typeCheckingMode` switched off and mypy enabled instead.
