This repository contains a minimal template for FastAPI web applications
Please do note that FastAPI requires Python 3.7 as the minimum version, for any platform.

To begin coding your application, let's walk you through a few simple steps to set up your environment:

1. Clone this repository

   ...
   > git clone https://github.com/cobaltgit/fastapi-template.git
   > cd fastapi-template
   ...
   

2. Create a virtual environment and enter it

   # Unix-like and Linux systems#
   ...
   $ python3 -m venv venv
   $ source venv/bin/activate
   ...
   
   # or for Windows systems...
   ...
   > py -3 -m venv venv
   > venv/Scripts/activate.bat
   ...

3. Install the required packages

   ...
   > pip install -r requirements.txt
   ...

4. Happy coding! Feel free to create and modify files within the app directory to create your own API or any other web app!

To test your application, you can run the command uvicorn app:app in your terminal or use the start script that is associated with your platform.
Go to the link that appears in the logs (http://127.0.0.1:8000): you should see the base JSON response {response: "Hello World!"}
