Wethinky - [Work in Progress]

Full-Stack blog application made using React/TypeScript for the frontend and Python/FastAPI for the backend. Built for fun and to try out some new technologies.

Stack

Front:

• React
• TypeScript/JavaScript
• TailwindCSS
• React Testing Library

Back:

• Python
• FastAPI
• PostgreSQL
• Oauth2

Both:

• Docker

How to See Application:

• make sure you have Docker installed
• clone repo and navigate to root directory
• run docker compose up
• to see the frontend navigate to localhost:3000/
• to see the backend documentation navigate to localhost:8000/docs
• to spin the application down, navigate to terminal where you ran docker compose up and hit Ctrl+C

Once you have see enough and want to remove from machine:

• run docker compose down --volumes to delete the containers and their volumes
• delete the cloned github repository from machine

Extra Project Information:

   Started building this because I wanted to try out building a backend API with Python. I was having fun so I kept going and figured I might as well make a front end and try out TailwindCSS and Typescript while i was at it. I then thought it would be great to not have to spin up a Database, API, and React app all seperately. So I looked up solutions and decided that Docker was a great choice, so I connected everything using Docker Compose.

   I have been really enjoying building this application so far! These are some powerful and useful tools. I am very excited to learn more about them as I continue building more projects with them.

Plans for Future:

Front:

• Add more routes/pages. Ex: dashboard, landing page, create post, etc.

Back:

• More endpoints to the backend and build out more tables and relationships
• Testing
