FastOpp Country Store 1.7 – Set Up a POST Route for HTML Form Submissions

FastOpp Country Store moves closer to “real app” territory in this seventh lesson, where you focus on layout, styling, and overall user experience so your project looks as good as it works.

Create POST route in FastAPI that receives form data, processes data and sends to HTML snippet. We use dummy connector at this stage to simulate an LLM response that we will enable in the future.

In this video, you will:
-- Refine the structure of your Jinja2 templates for cleaner, more reusable layouts
-- Improve the look and feel of your Country Store pages using Tailwind (and utility-first CSS patterns)
-- Tidy up navigation and page sections so users can move around the app more easily
-- Apply small but important UI tweaks that make the app feel more professional and production-ready
-- See how to keep styling changes organized alongside your existing FastAPI + SQLModel code

This video is part 7 of 9 in the “FastOpp Beginner – Country Store” course, which takes you from a simple starter template to a styled, database-backed FastAPI app with an AI-powered feature using the OpenRouter API.

Course overview:

This course walks through building and extending a small “Country Store” web app using FastOpp, a project that includes FastAPI, SQLModel, and modern web tools.

Starting from a simple template, the course teaches how to wire together Jinja2 templates, SQLModel data models, and FastAPI routes, then progressively add styling, static assets, database administration, schema migrations, and finally an LLM-powered feature using OpenRouter API.

Who this is for:
-- Python developers who want their FastAPI apps to look clean, modern, and intentional
-- FastAPI learners who have basic pages working and now want to improve UX and layout
-- Anyone building a small web app and looking for a simple, repeatable pattern for structuring templates and styling

By the end of this lesson, your Country Store app will feel noticeably more polished and user-friendly, giving you a UI foundation you can confidently build on in the final videos.
