FastApp

FastApp is a pragmatic, Laravel‑flavoured toolkit for building backend APIs with Python. It composes Quart (HTTP), Pydantic (validation), and Motor (Mongo) so you can ship features fast without wiring the same pieces every time.

Quick start

1) Create and activate a virtualenv

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\\Scripts\\activate

2) Install FastApp

pip install "git+https://github.com/patrikmojzis/fast-app"

3) Scaffold a new project

fast-app init

4) Configure .env

cp .env.example .env

5) Run the API

fast-app serve          # runs hypercorn from app.modules.asgi.app:app

Hello API in 60 seconds

import fast_app.boot  # Always first

from quart import Quart
from pydantic import constr
from fast_app import Route, Schema, Model, Resource
from fast_app.utils.routing_utils import register_routes
from fast_app.core.pydantic_types import ShortStr

class Item(Model):
    name: str

class ItemResource(Resource):
    async def to_dict(self, item: Item):
        return {
            "name": item.name
        }

class ItemSchema(Schema):
    name: ShortStr

async def create_item(data: ItemSchema):
    item = await Item.create(data.model_dump())
    return ItemResource(item)

app = Quart(__name__)
routes = [
    Route.post("/item", create_item),
]
register_routes(app, routes)

Note: Every Python entry point must import fast_app.boot first to initialize logging, environment, and autodiscovery. See Quick Start for details.
