FARM-Demo

This code is an example FARM (FastAPI, React, MongoDB) project that implements a simple TODO List system.

The FARM stack is FastAPI, React, and MongoDB. It is a simpler form of the MERN stack that can make developing apps even faster. You will learn how to connect this with a mongoDB database. Then you will learn to connect the backend to the frontend. A React app will send and receive HTTP requests to and from the server.

Configuration

Before Configure the FARM project, you need to install:

• Python 3.6 or higher Python. (What is recommended for a FastAPI project)
• Node.js 12 or higher Node.js
• MongoDB MongoDB.

Backend

• After Providing Python in your computer, you need to create your own virtual environment, don't forget to switch to the project directory /backend:

# creating virtual environment
$ virtualenv venv

# activate virtual environment
$ source venv/bin/activate

# install all dependencies
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

• You'll need to set the following environment variables before running the project:

    # The following will work on Linux & OSX:
    cp env.sample .env

• Run the code with the following command:

uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000

Frontend

• Here we need to install all dependencies by running the following command:

    # I use here the `yarn` command, you can use `npm` instead.
    yarn install

• Then we need to run the following command to start the frontend:

    # start the frontend part
    npm run start
