SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides you in building modern fullstack demos with a dedicated frontend (Vite + React + TypeScript) and a FastAPI backend. It helps you deliver interactive UI, user authentication, and data persistence for demos that look polished to non-technical stakeholders.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frontend stack: Vite + React + TypeScript with Tailwind CSS + Shadcn UI for a polished, responsive UI.
  • Backend stack: FastAPI with OpenAPI-generated contracts and Pydantic models for robust data handling.
  • Project scaffolding & workflow: Step-by-step setup to create a cohesive frontend + backend project, ensuring consistent API contracts and publish-ready demos.
  • Use Case: Build a demo app with login and CRUD to showcase a real-world workflow to clients and teammates, without diving into production-grade complexity.

Quick Start

Use the fullstack-app skill to scaffold a complete frontend + backend demo:

  • Frontend setup: pnpm create vite@latest frontend --template react-ts
  • Install and configure: cd frontend; pnpm install; pnpm add tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite; pnpm dlx shadcn@latest init -y --base-color neutral
  • Backend setup: mkdir backend; cd backend; uv init; uv add fastapi uvicorn pydantic

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a fullstack app with React frontend and FastAPI backend?

Build a fullstack app by scaffolding a Vite + React + TypeScript frontend and a FastAPI backend with Pydantic models. This Skill provides end-to-end setup guidance, including authentication, CRUD operations, OpenAPI contracts, and responsive UI with Tailwind CSS and Shadcn UI for polished demos.

Can I use Vite and React with TypeScript for a production-ready demo?

Yes. Vite + React + TypeScript supports responsive, polished web UIs suitable for demos and internal tools. This Skill covers project scaffolding, dependency management with pnpm, and frontend-backend integration patterns that deliver a professional appearance to non-technical stakeholders.

How do I set up authentication and CRUD in a React and FastAPI project?

Configure user authentication and CRUD data persistence by structuring your FastAPI backend with Pydantic models for request/response validation and your React frontend to consume the OpenAPI-generated API contract. This Skill guides dependency-aware CORS setup and proxy-based routing for seamless frontend-backend communication.

What's the best way to organize a fullstack project with separate frontend and backend folders?

Organize your project with a dedicated frontend folder (Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS) and backend folder (FastAPI + uvicorn) using consistent API contracts from OpenAPI specifications. This Skill provides step-by-step scaffolding and workflow guidance to ensure cohesive tooling and aligned development practices.

Do I need to manually write API documentation for a React and FastAPI project?

No. FastAPI auto-generates OpenAPI specifications from Pydantic models, serving as the contract between frontend and backend. This Skill leverages auto-generated documentation to drive frontend-backend integration, eliminating manual API documentation and reducing misalignment.
