Part 1 Of Fastapi + React and Mysql Todo App (Farm Stack)

In this tutorial, we will be building a Todo App using the Farm stack which consists of FastAPI, React, and Mysql. This will be a multi-part series where we will cover the setup and implementation of each component of the stack.

Setting Up FastAPI

FastAPI is a modern web framework for building APIs with Python. To set up FastAPI, you will need to install the FastAPI library and Uvicorn ASGI server:

        
            pip install fastapi uvicorn
        
    

Once you have installed FastAPI, you can create a new Python file for your FastAPI application and define your routes and endpoints.

Setting Up React

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. To set up React, you will need to install Node.js and create a new React app using create-react-app:

        
            npx create-react-app todo-app
            cd todo-app
            npm start
        
    

Once you have set up React, you can start building your frontend components for the Todo App.

Setting Up Mysql

Mysql is a popular relational database management system. To set up Mysql, you will need to install Mysql server and create a new database for your Todo App:

        
            sudo apt-get update
            sudo apt-get install mysql-server
            sudo mysql_secure_installation
            mysql -u root -p
        
    

Once you have set up Mysql, you can create tables and define your database schema for the Todo App.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have covered the setup of FastAPI, React, and Mysql for our Todo App. In the next parts of this series, we will be implementing the CRUD operations for our Todo App and integrating the frontend with the backend. Stay tuned for the next part!
