Fastbase

DEV MESSAGE: Fastbase is currently still in development and in its current state is unfit for production. Check back again for updates.

Role-based Access Contral (RBAC) via Firebase idtoken authententication using FastAPI and SQLModel.

Documentation: https://enchance.github.io/fastbase/class/fastbase/

Installation

pip install fastbase

or

poetry add fastbase

Overview

Fastbase assumes a headless setup using a frontend such as React, Angular, etc.

• API Endpoints: Managed by FastAPI
• Authentication: Managed by Firebase Auth
• Authorization: Managed by Fastbase
• Database ORM: SQLModel

Fastbase process

1. Authentication happens in the frontend (JS) using the official Firebase JS package. An idtoken will be generated if successful.
2. Insert this token in your Authorization header (Bearer <idtoken>) when hitting restricted APIs.
3. Upon reaching the server the idtoken is verified.

Your required User model. Optional models include TaxonomyMod and OptionMod which should be extended if you want to use them. Add any additional fields you need.

from fastbase.models import UserMod, TaxonomyMod, OptionMod 

# Required
class User(UserMod, table=True):
    __tablename__ = 'auth_user'
    # Add any fields and methods you need

    
# Optional
class Taxonomy(TaxonomyMod, table=True):

   # Add any fields and methods you need


# Optional
class Option(OptionMod, table=True):
   __tablename__ = 'app_option'
   # Add any fields and methods you need
