FastAPI Tutorial EP1 - Setup with Poetry, Uvicorn & Ruff

[@shubhamshah9358]

started learning fastapi without even knowing python (coming from js) and i understood everything you took me through. Thankyousokmuch!

[@shubhamshah9358]

altho why are you using venv to create things in myapp, couldnt you just start myapp using poetry new myapp and then poetry add fastapi uvicorn etc. and then poetry run? do i really need to start a virtual environment if im using poetry

That's great, im glad this has been helpful!

[@pythonwithjames]

So I like to use a virtual environment for each of my projects, and I let Poetry manage the dependencies for that project. It's not 100% essential, but I feel that it keeps all the dependencies neat and tidy.

This is a really nice beginner overview, nice one! What sorta stuff are you gonna be covering in the series? Or is that spoilers 😉

[@pythonwithjames]

Cheers!! I'm going to be covering as much of it as possible ideally, then ending the series with a full API creation walkthrough :)

@@pythonwithjames Nice, sounds good! I've used it before but have only really done basic stuff with it, so it'd be cool to learn about the other stuff!
