Nuxt.js FastAPI Starter

Simple Nuxt.js boilerplate that uses FastAPI as the API backend.

Introduction

This is a hybrid Nuxt.js + Python app that uses Nuxt.js as the frontend and FastAPI as the API backend. One great use case of this is to write Nuxt.js apps that use Python AI libraries on the backend.

How It Works

The Python/FastAPI server is mapped into to Nuxt.js app under /api/.

The server API of Nuxt3 has been relocated to /backend/ to make it compatible with the Vercel API routes.

This is implemented using nuxt.config.js rewrites to map any request to /api/:path* to the FastAPI API, which is hosted in the /api folder.

On localhost, the rewrite will be made to the 127.0.0.1:8000 port, which is where the FastAPI server is running.

In production, the FastAPI server is hosted as Python serverless functions on Vercel.

Deploy Your Own

You can clone & deploy it to Vercel with one click:

Developing Locally

You can clone & create this repo with the following command

npx create-nuxt-app nuxtjs-fastapi --example "https://github.com/tutorfx/nuxtjs-fastapi"

Getting Started

First, install the dependencies:

npm install
# or
yarn
# or
pnpm install

Then, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

The FastApi server will be running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 – feel free to change the port in package.json (you'll also need to update it in nuxt.config.js).
