Question 1

FastAPI-React vs full-stack-fastapi-postgresql – which is better?

Accepted Answer

FastAPI-React is a lighter, React-focused alternative to the official Vue-based template. Choose it if you prefer React and want a quicker start with essential features, but opt for the official one if you need Vue or more comprehensive tooling.

Question 2

How to add a new API endpoint in FastAPI-React?

Accepted Answer

Create your endpoint in the backend/app/api/ directory, following existing patterns. Use SQLAlchemy for database operations and ensure you add corresponding tests in the tests folder, leveraging the provided fixtures.

Question 3

Can I use a different database like MySQL with this template?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires manual changes to the Docker configuration, SQLAlchemy settings, and Alembic migrations, as PostgreSQL is pre-configured and tightly integrated.

Question 4

How do I customize the admin dashboard in FastAPI-React?

Accepted Answer

Edit the files in frontend/src/admin using react-admin components and data providers. You can modify the resource definitions and layouts to match your backend endpoints, as shown in the README's admin section.

Question 5

Does this template support social login like Google or Facebook?

Accepted Answer

No, it only implements JWT-based OAuth2 password flow. Adding social logins requires extending the authentication system in the backend to integrate third-party OAuth providers.

Question 6

Is FastAPI-React good for large production applications?

Accepted Answer

It provides a solid foundation, but for large-scale use, you'll need to enhance security (e.g., secure secret keys), optimize performance, and potentially scale services beyond the default Docker setup.

Question 7

How to remove Celery if I don't need background tasks?

Accepted Answer

You can disable Celery and Redis by editing the docker-compose file and removing related dependencies, but this may require adjustments to the backend code and testing setup.
