## Introduction
|
||
|
||
This is a hybrid Next.js + Python app that uses Next.js as the frontend and FastAPI as the API backend. One great use case of this is to write Next.js apps that use Python AI libraries on the backend.
|
||
|
||
## How It Works
|
||
|
||
The Python/FastAPI server is mapped into to Next.js app under `/api/`.
|
||
|
||
This is implemented using [`next.config.js` rewrites](https://github.com/jyapayne/nextjs-fastapi/blob/main/next.config.js) to map any request to `/api/:path*` to the FastAPI API, which is hosted in the `/api` folder.
|
||
|
||
On localhost, the rewrite will be made to the `127.0.0.1:8000` port, which is where the FastAPI server is running.
|
||
|
||
In production, the FastAPI server is hosted as [Python serverless functions](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/serverless-functions/runtimes/python) on Vercel.

||
## Deploy Your Own
|
||
|
||
You can clone & deploy it to Vercel with one click:
|
||
|
||
[](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fjyapayne%2Fnextjs-fastapi%2Ftree%2Fmain)
|
||
|
||
## Developing Locally
|
||
|
||
You can clone & create this repo with the following command
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npx create-next-app nextjs-fastapi --example "https://github.com/jyapayne/nextjs-fastapi"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Getting Started
|
||
|
||
First, install the dependencies:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install
|
||
# or
|
||
yarn
|
||
# or
|
||
pnpm install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, run the development server:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm run dev
|
||
# or
|
||
yarn dev
|
||
# or
|
||
pnpm dev
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
|
||
|
||
The FastApi server will be running on [http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000) – feel free to change the port in `package.json` (you'll also need to update it in `next.config.js`).
