+for combined frontend and backend as in Flask.  
+Includes Jinja, WTForms, MySQL ORM and Docker.
 
-Simple and handy FastAPI template for combined frontend and backend as in Flask, includes Jinja, WTForms, MySQL ORM and Docker
+
+## Features
+ - Basic FastAPI app
+ - `@app.route`s are defined in separate files
+ - Lots of helper functions
+ - Jinja2 templates, WTForms
+ - MySQL/MariaDB database, SQLAlchemy 2
+ - AutoPEP8 formatter, MyPy and Pylint
+ - Dockerfile, Docker-Compose
+
+
+## Structure
+
+### Configuration
+#### `.env`s
+ - `.env_debug` contains the DB configuration and tokens
+ for the development environment, must not be used in production
+ - `.env` is a config for the application itself,
+ loaded only in docker-compose by default
+ - `.env_db` is a config for MySQL/MariaDB server,
+ also loaded only in docker-compose for the mariadb container
+#### The main config loaded by `app/common.py`:
+ - `templates_dir`, `static_dir` contain the paths
+ to templates and static files directories correspondingly
+ - `debug_env` is a path to `.env_debug`
+ - `is_debug` is True when DEBUG env variable is set,
+ and then `.env_debug` is loaded automatically
+ - `settings` (pydantic.BaseSettings):
+    - `session_key`, `csrf_key` are secret keys
+    for WTForms CSRF protection;  
+    generated with secrets.token_urlsafe
+    if are not set in the environment variables
+ - `templates` is a Jinja2Templates FastAPI object,
+ shouldn't be used manually, see
+ Helper Functions -> respond.with_tmpl
+ below
+#### The database config loaded by `sql/db.py`:
+ - `sql_settings` (pydantic.BaseSettings):
+    - `db_host`
+    - `db_port`
+    - `db_user`
+    - `db_password`
+    - `db_database`
+ - `db_url` is the MySQL connection URL
+ generated from the sql_settings configuration;  
+ just edit the line declaring `db_url` in `db.py`
+ if you are going to use other DBMS, e.g. PostgreSQL
+
+### Paths
+`app/paths` directory contains all FastAPI paths
+separated into multiple files.  
+Each file have a class inside with the `add_paths` method.  
+This method is called on application startup.
+
+You can
+ - add your own paths to the existing files
+ - rename or delete a file in `app/paths/`
+ (it's *not* recommended to do this with `errors.py`,
+ see about [error pages](#custom-error-pages) below)
+ - create a new file in this directory
+ copying the contents of `pages.py`
+
+> **Note**
+> In the paths files FastAPI's decorators
+are called with `@self.app.`, not just `@app.`
+
+In case of deleteing/renaming/creating any paths files,
+`app/main.py` also must be modified:
+1. Find the comment `# Add your own paths...`
+2. Add or remove import statements below
+3. Add or remove elements in `paths` list below
+
+### Custom Error Pages
+`app/paths/errors.py` automatically adds error handlers
+when the application launches.  
+By default, 404 and 500 HTTP codes are configured
+for the custom pages (`templates/404.html` and `500.html`),
+but you can add your own:
+1. Open `errors.py`
+2. Find the comment `# Add other...`
+3. Add (or remove) elements to the list below
+
+### WTForms
+TODO
+
+### Database
+TODO
+
+
+## Usage
+
+<!--
+1. Create a repository from this template
+2. For debugging, open `.env_debug` file and
+set host, user, password corresponding to
+the configuration of MySQL/MariaDB on your PC
+3. Edit `paths/pages.py`: add your own paths
+in the `add_paths` method
+4. Create your own Jinja templates in `templates/` directory,  
+I recommend to edit `base.html` and inherit other templates from it
+5. Edit and rename `forms/users.py`, it contains WTForms classes
+6. Customize error pages and add your own paths ...
+7. Edit `db/schema.sql` corresponding to your database structure
+8. Check `Makefile`, `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`
+9. Run formatter and linters (`make format`, then `make check`)
+-->
+
+### Makefile
+Make commands:
+|Command|Description|
+|:-----:|:----------|
+|`make format`|Format the code using AutoPEP8|
+|`make check`|Check the code with linters (MyPy, Pylint)|
+|`make dev`|Run the app in development mode|
+|`make prod`|Run a production server|
+|`make docker`|Build a docker image from `Dockerfile`|
+|`make clean`|Clean all cache|
+
+
+## Helper functions
+
+### `respond.py`
+Import: `from . import respond`
+
+#### `with_redirect(url=/, code=200, ...)`
+Return a redirect to the page specified in `url`.  
+By default, code is 302 so method is changed to GET.
+To leave the same HTTP method, use 307 status code
+or call `with_redirect_307` function.  
+`args` and `kwargs` are passed directly
+to the Response contructor.
+
+**Args:**
+    url (str, optional): Target URL, root by default
+    code (int, optional): HTTP response code
+
+**Returns:** FastAPI's RedirectResponse object
+
+#### `with_redirect_302(url=/, ...)`
+#### `with_redirect_307(url=/, ...)`
+As said before,
+ - HTTP 302 Found redirects to a page
+ without saving the same method
+ as in the current request
+ - HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect
+ doesn't change the method
+ (POST request = POST method after redirect)
+
+#### `with_text(content, code=200, ...)`
+Return a plain text to the user.  
+`args` and `kwargs` are passed directly
+to the Response contructor.
+
+**Args:**
+    content (str): Plain text content
+    code (int, optional): HTTP response code
+
+**Returns:** FastAPI's PlainTextResponse object
+
+#### `with_template(name, request, code=200, ..., **context)`
+#### `with_tmpl(name, request, code=200, ..., **context)`
+Render a Jinja2 template and return Response object.  
+`response_class` parameter is not needed.  
+A small explanation about the `request` function argument:
+```python
+from fastapi import Request
+from . import respond
+
+@app.get('/')
+async def main_page(req: Request):  # <--
+    return respond.with_tmpl(
+        'index.html',
+        request=req,  # <--
+        ...
+    )
+```
+FastAPI will automatically pass the Request object
+to your function if you specify
+the correct type hint (`: Request`)
+
+**Args:**
+    name (str): Template filename
+    request (Request): FastAPI request object
+    code (int, optional): HTTP response code
+    headers (Optional[Mapping[str, str]], optional):
+        Additional headers, passed to the Response constructor
+    background (Optional[BackgroundTask], optional):
+        Background task, passed to the Response constructor
+
+**Returns:** FastAPI's TemplateResponse object
+
+#### `with_file(path, mime=None, code=200, ...)`
+Send the file specified in `path`
+automatically guessing its mimetype if `mime` is None.  
+`args` and `kwargs` are passed directly
+to the Response contructor.
+
+**Args:**
+    path (os.PathLike): File path
+    mime (Optional[str], optional): File mimetype
+    code (int, optional): HTTP response code
+
+**Returns:** FileResponse: FastAPI's FileResponse object
+
+### `forms/__init__.py`
+Import: `from . import forms`
+
+#### `async get_form(form, req)`
+Almost the same as `form.from_formdata`,
+and must be used *instead* of instantiating
+form object directly as in Flask.  
+See `respond.with_tmpl` for explanation
+about the `request` argument.
+
+**Args:**
+    form (Type[StarletteForm]): StarletteForm class
+    req (Request): Request object
+
+**Returns:** StarletteForm instance
+
+### `sql/db.py`
+
+#### `async get_db()`
+FastAPI dependency returning database Session object.  
+Code is copied from the official docs.
+
+**Yields:** SQLAlchemy Session object
+
+
+## Publishing app
+First of all, build an image: `make docker`  
+Follow [this documentation page](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/04_sharing_app/)
+to upload your image to Docker Hub.
