Session Goal

The primary objective of this session was to resolve directory structure mismatches and PYTHONPATH issues in a full-stack setup using Next.js for the frontend and FastAPI for the backend.

Key Activities

  • Addressed directory structure mismatches when using create-next-app by aligning scripts with the generated structure.
  • Fixed PYTHONPATH issues with Uvicorn by ensuring commands are run from the project root and suggested creating an alias for convenience.
  • Debugged common directory issues in FastAPI applications, focusing on the current working directory and import paths.
  • Resolved ModuleNotFoundError by ensuring the necessary directory structure is created before file creation in FastAPI projects.
  • Clarified the confusion between frontend and backend directory structures in full-stack applications.
  • Reviewed and corrected a bash script for setting up a full-stack application with proper folder structure and installation instructions.

Achievements

  • Successfully aligned the directory structure for Next.js and FastAPI projects.
  • Ensured proper setup and execution environment for Uvicorn with FastAPI.
  • Created a comprehensive setup script for full-stack applications.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the setup script in different environments to ensure compatibility.
  • Documentation of the setup process for team onboarding.
