FastAPI WebServer

This is a wrapper of a FAST API application with some additional features that might be useful for quick web development.

It features:

• Powerful environment and settings handling with dynamic module import like Django;
• Local Key-Value Cache database, powered by SQLite;
• Better logging configuration via commons.logging;
• Powerful database tools:
  • A Database Adapter to connect to any database on-the-fly;
  • A Data Migration Tool, to run .sql files, or migrate json data that runs automagically on server startup;
  • A FastAPI Dependency for the database (webserver.core.ServerDatabase)
  • A SQLite Cache Database + FastAPI dependency (webserver.core.ServerCache)
• An SMTP service, implemented on top of fastapi-mail;
• Internationalization (i18n) on top of Babel:
  • A FastAPI Dependency that discovers the locale based on HTTP Header Accept-Language (webserver.core.AvailableLocale)
• Front-end tools:
  • SASS Compiler (webserver.frontend.css);
  • Server-Side Rendering via Jinja2Template;
• Static Files provider;
• CORS Support;
• TLS Support + mkcert certificates (local/development only)
• Content Proxies (webserver.extras.proxies):
  • Gravatar
  • GIPHY

Roadmap

The following features are expected to be implemented in the future. Contribution is welcome.

• OCI-Compliant Image for Docker/Podman
• Logging and Tracing API (via OpenTelemetry)
• Authentication and Authorization
  • OAuth2 support
  • OpenID Connect support
  • Passkey support (via Bitwarden passwordless)
• Traffic Analyzer
  • (AI) Bot detector
  • VPN detector
  • Rate limiter
  • IP-based Access-Control List (ACL)
• Content Providers (HTTP client and proxy)
  • Google Fonts API

Getting Started

Optionally, set up the environment variables. All environment variables can be found on .env file in the root of this repository.

import webserver
from fastapi import APIRouter, FastAPI

router: APIRouter = APIRouter()
app: FastAPI = webserver.app


@router.get("/")
def index():
  return {"Hello World": f"from {webserver.settings.APP_NAME}"}


app.include_router(router)

if __name__ == "__main__":
  webserver.start()

This enables both local execution through main method as well as fastapi (dev|run) commands.
