FastAPI

experimenting with fastapi

ENV

create a .env file in the main directory

you will need to add: SECRET_IDENTITY='<secret stuff>'

I literally used it to show you can hide whatever you like in there.

RUN

Make sure you have docker desktop up and running.

$ docker compose up --build

then click the linked location that fets shown in the terminal.

WORKING ON THE CODE

Create a virtual environment

$ python3 -m venv .venv

source the virtual environment:

$ . ./.venv/bin/activate

install the requirements:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

That should be enough to get it all working

You can run it without docker using:

$ uvicorn main:app --reload

The 'reload' flag is only needed if you want it to load changes as you make it.

UPDATING REQUIREMENTS !IMPORTANT!

To update/add packages to the project with pip, make sure you add the new files to requirements.txt not doing this could mean it works on your computer but not anywhere else. Docker also uses the requirements.txt file so not adding it could break docker later also.

$ pip freeze > requirements.txt
