FastOpp Country Store 1.1 – Templates, Models, and Routes

FastOpp Beginner – Country Store is a hands-on FastAPI + SQLModel series that walks through building a real “Country Store” web app step by step. In this first lesson, you’ll set up the project foundation and see how Jinja2 templates, SQLModel data models, and FastAPI routes work together to serve dynamic pages.

In this video, you will:
-- Get an overview of the FastOpp stack (FastAPI, SQLModel, Jinja2, Tailwind, and more)
-- Understand how the “Country Store” app is structured
-- See how templates, models, and routes connect to render a real page
-- Learn how this first building block sets you up for database migrations, admin tools, and an LLM feature later in the course

This video is part 1 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.
