Creating a Python FastAPI Workspace for Project IDX

To create a Python FastAPI workspace on Project IDX, you will need to set up a virtual environment and install FastAPI and other necessary dependencies. Follow the steps below to create your workspace:

Step 1: Set up a virtual environment
First, open your terminal and create a new directory for your FastAPI project. Navigate to this directory and run the following command to create a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

source venv/bin/activate

Step 2: Install FastAPI and Uvicorn
Now that you have your virtual environment set up, install FastAPI and Uvicorn using pip:

pip install fastapi uvicorn

Step 3: Create a FastAPI app
Create a new Python file in your project directory and name it main.py. Add the following code to create a basic FastAPI app:

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get('/')
def read_root():
    return {"message": "Hello, World!"}

Save the file and make sure you are in the root directory of your project.

Step 4: Run the FastAPI app
To run the FastAPI app, use the following command in your terminal:

uvicorn main:app --reload

This will start the Uvicorn server and run your FastAPI app. You can access your app by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

Step 5: Customize your FastAPI app
Now that you have a basic FastAPI app running, you can start customizing it to fit your needs. You can add route handlers, request and response models, middleware, and more.

For more information on how to customize your FastAPI app, refer to the official FastAPI documentation at https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a Python FastAPI workspace on Project IDX. You can now start building your FastAPI application and exploring the various features that FastAPI has to offer. Have fun coding!
