FastAPI-fastkit: Fast, easy-to-use starter kit for new users of Python and FastAPI

---

This project was created to speed up the configuration of the development environment needed to develop Python-based web apps for new users of Python and FastAPI.

This project was inspired by the SpringBoot initializer & Python Django's django-admin cli operation.

Key Features

• Immediate FastAPI project creation : Super-fast FastAPI workspace & project creation via CLI, inspired by django-adminfeature of Python Django
• Prettier CLI outputs : beautiful CLI experiment (rich library feature)
• Standards-based FastAPI project template : All FastAPI-fastkit templates are based on Python standards and FastAPI's common use

Installation

Install FastAPI-fastkit at your Python environment.

$ pip install FastAPI-fastkit
---> 100%

Significance of FastAPI-fastkit

FastAPI-fastkit aims to provide a fast and easy-to-use starter kit for new users of Python and FastAPI.

This idea was initiated with the aim of full fill to help FastAPI newcomers to learn from the beginning, which is the production significance of the FastAPI-cli package added with the FastAPI 0.111.0 version update.

As one person who has been using and loving FastAPI for a long time, I wanted to develop a project that could help me a little bit to practice the wonderful motivation that FastAPI developer tiangolo has.
