FastAPI Sample Project for DigitalOcean Deployment

This is a sample FastAPI project created to test deployment on DigitalOcean with CI/CD pipelines. The project contains two simple routes: a root route and an item route.

Routes

• GET /
  Returns a JSON response:

  { "Hello": "World" }

• GET /items/{item_id} Takes an item_id (integer) as a path parameter and an optional query parameter q (string). Returns a JSON response:

  { "item_id": item_id, "q": q }

Project Structure

├── main.py              # Main FastAPI app with routes
├── requirements.txt    # Python package dependencies
├── README.md           # Project documentation (this file)

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• FastAPI

Installation and Setup

Follow the steps below to set up and run the project locally:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone git@github.com:hironate/fast-api-test-project.git
   cd fast-api-test-project

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

To run the FastAPI app locally using FastAPI CLI, execute the following command:

fastapi dev run.py

To run the FastAPI app on production using FastAPI CLI, execute the following command:

fastapi run

This will start the development server with auto-reloading enabled. You should see output like:

INFO:     Serving at http://127.0.0.1:8000
INFO:     API docs: http://0.0.0.0:8000/docs
INFO:     Running in production mode, for development use:

fastapi dev

Now, you can visit the following endpoints in your browser or API testing tool (e.g., Postman):

• Root: http://127.0.0.1:8000/
• Item: http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/1?q=test
