Learning FastAPI

In this repo I intend to dive into the intricacies of FastApi framework, while following along to Corey Schafer's guide.

Core technologies learnt:

• using jinja2 templates
• styling with bootstrap
• validation and error handling
• pydantic schemas & models for data validation
• using SQLAlchemy ORM
• performing CRUD(Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations
• making your app asynchronous
• routers with APIRouter
• forms
• authentication: registration & login
• authorization: protecting routes
• file uploads: image processing , validation & storage
• pagination
• password resets & background processes
• database migrations with alembic & PostgreSql MariaDb
• moving files to the cloud with AWS S3 & Boto
• testing with pytest
• deployment with nginx & custom domains
• deployment with docker & serverless containers

detours

• thorough modularization of the application earlier on. Was accustomed to the good old factory settings from flask, hence applied that methodology here.
• implement code reusability by defining a "utils" directory, where I placed small Classes & functions for reuse.
• do tokens expire even when a user is active? figure out to to see if user is active in the frontend and prolong token expiration
• implement oauth with google
• add protected admin only routes for admins only
• add an admin panel
• used Resend instead of MailTrap
• when user is logged in and they change their password, all prior sessions must be terminated. for security
• use a taskque for emails, although not critical. e.g Celery, Rabitt Mq
• use MariaDB+aiomysql instead of Postgres+pscoppg. why?
