Wallin Farms

A website to generate scale ticket reports and manage crop storage

Introduction

This is a hybrid Next.js + Python app that uses Next.js as the front end and FastAPI as the API backend allowing the use of Python libraries on the backend.

How It Works

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

This is implemented using next.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.

Developing Locally

You can clone & create this repo with the following command

git clone https://github.com/kalenwallin/wallinfarms

Getting Started

First, create and activate a virtual environment:

python3.9 -m venv .venv
python3.9 .venv/bin/activate

Then install the Python dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Also install the node dependencies:

npm install

Then, run the development server:

npm run 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.
