# Starter kit for NextJS + FastAPI + SurrealDB App

This repo provides a starter kit for building applications with [NextJS](https://nextjs.org/) + [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) with [SurrealDB](https://surrealdb.com/). It sets up the frontend and backend of building a simple CRUD Todo App with SurrealDB as the database.

## Frontend Preview

## Technologies Used

* [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) - Design and build REST APIs for your application in Python.

* [NextJS](https://nextjs.org/) - A React framework, used to create interactive and dynamic user interfaces.

* [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/):  A CSS framework used to style applications.

* [SurrealDB](https://surrealdb.com/) - A multi-model cloud database providing the traditional database/backend layer for our database operations which you can connect your backend to.

This starter kit implements the following endpoints:

* `POST '/addTodo'` - create new Todo task and store it in the SurrealDB database.

* `GET '/mytodos'` - fetches all Todo tasks from the SurrealDB database.

* `GET '/'` - Returns to home/root URL.

* `POST '/editTodo'` - update/edit a Todo task.

* `POST '/deleteTodo'` - deletes a Todo task from the SurrealDB database.

## Requirements

* Ensure you have [SurrealDB](https://surrealdb.com/docs/installation) installed depending on your OS (Linux, MacOS or Windows).

* [Python 3.11.x](https://www.python.org/downloads/).

* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download) > v18
