Electron & Tauri React/FastAPI Boilerplates

Two bootstrap scripts that generate a React (Vite) + FastAPI + SQLite stack, one packaged with Electron and one with Tauri.
Good for creating Full Stack web applications, with a Python backend, especially good for the use of machine learning models, a SQLite Database for maximum portability and readability, and a JavaScript frontend, for the best UI / UX designs possible.

Scripts

• electron_boilerplate.sh – scaffolds Electron + React + FastAPI, installs deps, and launches the app. Includes a run.sh helper in the generated project to start backend, Vite dev server, and Electron together.
• tauri_boilerplate.sh – scaffolds Tauri + React + FastAPI, installs deps, and launches the app. Generated run.sh starts the backend and tauri dev.

Requirements

• Node.js and npm
• Python 3 with venv support
• For Tauri: Rust toolchain (cargo) and platform-specific Tauri prerequisites

Usage

./electron_boilerplate.sh [project-name]
./tauri_boilerplate.sh [project-name]

• If no name is provided, the script prompts for one (letters, numbers, _, -).
• Scripts create backend venv, install backend/frontend deps, then auto-run the app.
• Generated projects include:
  • FastAPI backend with SQLite, REST + WebSocket, uvicorn --reload
  • React + Vite frontend with ESLint and WS demo
  • README and run.sh for one-command dev start
• Electron window title uses the project name; Tauri window/product name and identifier use the project name.
