✅ FastAPI Tutorial: Master HTML Integration

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints. It is designed to be easy to use, fast to run, and have a low learning curve. In this tutorial, we will show you how to integrate HTML with FastAPI.

Step 1: Setting up a FastAPI project

First, make sure you have FastAPI installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install fastapi

Next, create a new Python file for your FastAPI project and import the necessary modules:

from fastapi import FastAPI

Now create an instance of the FastAPI class:

app = FastAPI()

Step 2: Creating HTML templates

Create a new folder in your project directory called “templates” to store your HTML templates. Inside this folder, create an HTML file called “index.html”. You can create a simple HTML template with a heading and a paragraph:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>FastAPI HTML Integration</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Hello, FastAPI!</h1>

<p>This is a simple example of integrating HTML with FastAPI.</p>

</body>
</html>

Step 3: Integrating HTML with FastAPI

To render the HTML template in FastAPI, you will need to use the `StaticFiles` class. Import the necessary module:

from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles

Add the following code to serve the static files, including your HTML templates:

app.mount("/static", StaticFiles(directory="static"), name="static")

Step 4: Creating a route to render the HTML template

Create a route in your FastAPI app to render the HTML template. This route will return the contents of the HTML file as a response:

@app.get("/")
async def read_main():
return FileResponse("templates/index.html")

Now you can run your FastAPI app and navigate to `http://localhost:8000` in your browser to see your HTML template being rendered by FastAPI.

That’s it! You have successfully integrated HTML with FastAPI. You can now build dynamic web applications using Python and FastAPI.
