FastAPI

Quick start

tinkerise backend fastapi my-fastapi-service

When to use

Use fastapi for Python APIs with modern typing and automatic docs.

Prerequisites

• Python >=3.10
• fastapi-admin CLI (from fastapi-admin-cli)

First run after scaffold

cd my-fastapi-service
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Unified flags

No unified flag mappings are defined for this scaffolder. Pass native args as needed.

Framework-specific behavior

• tinkerise delegates to fastapi-admin startproject.
• Prerequisite checks cover both Python runtime and the scaffolder tool.
• Passthrough args are supported.
• Use a virtual environment before installing dependencies so your global Python stays clean.
• Native flags from fastapi-admin startproject can be passed through after the project name.

Generated output

You get a FastAPI-oriented project skeleton generated by fastapi-admin, typically including:

• App package layout for routes, models, and settings
• Dependency manifests (requirements.txt or equivalent)
• Entrypoint and configuration files for local development
• Migration-ready structure commonly paired with Alembic workflows
