framevpn

Features

• FastAPI with Python 3.8
• React 16 with Typescript, Redux, and react-router
• Postgres
• SqlAlchemy with Alembic for migrations
• Pytest for backend tests
• Jest for frontend tests
• Perttier/Eslint (with Airbnb style guide)
• Docker compose for easier development
• Nginx as a reverse proxy to allow backend and frontend on the same port

Development

The only dependencies for this project should be docker and docker-compose.

Quick Start

Starting the project with hot-reloading enabled (the first time it will take a while):

docker-compose up -d

To run the alembic migrations (for the users table):

docker-compose run --rm backend alembic upgrade head

And navigate to http://localhost:8000

Note: If you see an Nginx error at first with a 502: Bad Gateway page, you may have to wait for webpack to build the development server (the nginx container builds much more quickly).

Auto-generated docs will be at http://localhost:8000/api/docs

Rebuilding containers:

docker-compose build

Restarting containers:

docker-compose restart

Bringing containers down:

docker-compose down

Frontend Development

Alternatively to running inside docker, it can sometimes be easier to use npm directly for quicker reloading. To run using npm:

cd frontend
npm install
npm start

This should redirect you to http://localhost:3000

Frontend Tests

cd frontend
npm install
npm test

Migrations

Migrations are run using alembic. To run all migrations:

docker-compose run --rm backend alembic upgrade head

To create a new migration:

alembic revision -m "create users table"

And fill in upgrade and downgrade methods. For more information see Alembic's official documentation.

Testing

There is a helper script for both frontend and backend tests:

./scripts/test.sh

Backend Tests

docker-compose run backend pytest

any arguments to pytest can also be passed after this command

Frontend Tests

docker-compose run frontend test

This is the same as running npm test from within the frontend directory

Logging

docker-compose logs

Or for a specific service:

docker-compose logs -f name_of_service # frontend|backend|db
