FastAPI Assignment Solution Part-6

Today, we will be discussing how to handle string, variable, list, and directory in FastAPI.

String

FastAPI makes it easy to handle string data. You can use the Path() function to define a string variable in the URL path.

Variable

FastAPI allows you to define variables in your path using the Path() function. This makes it easy to capture dynamic values from the URL path.

List

You can also handle list data in FastAPI. By defining a list variable with the Path() function, you can capture multiple values from the URL path.

Directory

FastAPI also supports handling directory paths in the URL. You can use the Path() function to define a variable that captures directory paths from the URL.

Code Example:

    from fastapi import FastAPI, Path

    app = FastAPI()

    @app.get("/items/{item_id}")
    async def read_item(item_id: str, q: str = None):
        return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}

    @app.get("/users/{user_id}")
    async def read_user(user_id: int, q: str = None):
        return {"user_id": user_id, "q": q}

    @app.get("/files/{file_path:path}")
    async def read_file(file_path: str):
        return {"file_path": file_path}
  

With the above example, we can handle string, variable, list, and directory path in FastAPI with ease. This makes it a powerful tool for building APIs.
