# fastapi-vue
Implements Single-Page-App serving at site root with FastAPI, that the standard StaticFiles module cannot handle. This also caches and zstd compresses the files for lightning-fast operation. This is primarily meant for use with Vue frontend, but technically can host any static files in a similar manner.
## Installation
Script [fastapi-vue-setup](https://git.zi.fi/LeoVasanko/fastapi-vue-setup) should normally be used to convert or create a project with connection between FastAPI and Vue. The target project will depend on this package to serve its static files.
```sh
uvx fastapi-vue-setup --help
```
Refer to instructions below for further configuration.
## Usage
```python
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_vue import Frontend
frontend = Frontend(
Path(__file__).with_name("frontend-build"),
spa=True,
cached=["/assets/"],
)
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
await frontend.load()
yield
app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
# Add API routes here...
# Final catch-all route for frontend files (keep at end of file)
frontend.route(app, "/")
```
## Configuration
- `directory`: Path to static files directory
- `spa`: Enable SPA mode (serve index.html for unknown routes)
- `cached`: Path prefixes for immutable cache headers (browser won't check for changes)
- `favicon`: Path to serve at `/favicon.ico` (e.g., `"/logo.png"` will be served as `image/png`)
- `zstdlevel`: Compression level (default: 18)
