# User authentication using FastAPI (a python frameworks), MongoDM (for database), Docker Compose (for deployment)
## How to start the application
**Watch the video:** (below the video are the commands on how to start the application)
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw5rQXgvHYc
**The commands:**
First you have to git clone the files by entering in your terminal:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/AtamanKit/fastapi_users_docker.git
```
Then start the application by enterig:
```
$ docker-compose up -d
```
The above command will both create the images and start the containers (2 images and 2 containers - one for the application and one for the MongoDB database).
For visualizing the application, open up your browser and enter:
* http://127.0.0.1/docs
In the application you'll have six sections:
* For creating users (3 roles are acceptable only: "admin", "dev", "simple mortal"), you'll see an error if not respecting the rule;
* For creating tokens by entering user's credentials;
* For listing the users;
* For watching the current user (only if authenticated);
* For modifying user properties (only if authenticated with admin role);
* For deleting the user.
To see the runing containers in docker, enter in the terminal:
```
$ docker ps
```
To see the database and collection created (database name is: myTestDB, collection: users) enter in your terminal:
```
$ docker exec -it <container-id> bash
```
## Configuration and file structure
Our file structure is:
```
.
├── app
│   ├── Dockerfile
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── main.py
│   ├── requirements.txt
│   └── src
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── dependecies.py
│   ├── models.py
│   ├── routers.py
│   └── settings.py
└── docker-compose.yml
```
In the app directory in ```main.py``` file we make all the dependencies and routers importing from the same name files located in ```src``` directory.
```src``` directory is the one that containes all the needed pydantic models (models.py), database and authentication variables (settings.py).
Authentication is made by using ```bearer``` scheme with ```token``` creation and usage.
```dependecies.py``` is the file containing authentication fucntions (I also made an authentication middleware located in ```main.py``` file in the root directory using ```basic``` scheme that serves only as an example purpose).
