How to build a FastAPI app with PostgreSQL

In this FastAPI PostgreSQL + pgAdmin video, we'll delve into FastAPI, a powerful python web framework and SQLAlchemy, a SQL toolkit that enhances the flexibility of SQL. You'll learn how these two integrate, creating a potent duo for web development with a professional PostgreSQL database.
Our guide includes a quick overview of PostgreSQL and pgAdmin, an open-source database system and its web-based administration tool, ensuring top-notch database management.
Finally, we'll cover Pydantic for data validation and parsing, a vital component for any robust FastAPI application working with PostgreSQL.
By the end of this video, you'll have the knowledge to build a FastAPI application, utilizing SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, pgAdmin, and Pydantic.

[@aviraltiwari3412]

Great video. Lot of quality of content. Very informative! I'd suggest creating videos related to CORS, that would be great!

[@codingwithroby]

Great suggestion!

[@mattmarshall1834]

Great tutorial. Very quick and to the point. It would be interesting to see a video about releasing a FastAPI/React/Postgres application to AWS or GCP.

[@codingwithroby]

Thanks friend !

[@mrkzmusic]

Thanks a lot Eric!

[@codingwithroby]

You are more than welcome!

[@ibrahimshazly9580]

Hi, Mr Roby on 14:30 i am wondering why you didn't add question = relationship("Question") # Establish relationship to choices model --- and thanks for your tutorial

[@muhammadnajamulislam2823]

very nice and easy way of teaching

[@codingwithroby]

Thanks, friend!

[@fahdagodzo5795]

thanks, it's been helpful

[@codingwithroby]

You're welcome! 🙂

[@shotihoch]

Absolute usefull tutorial. Found it... ughhh finally. Thank you! It was pretty hard to understand db_dependency = Annotated[Session, Depends(get_db)] logic, but with gpt i think I got it. Didnt get about async without await thing.... but I just think it some kind of inner processes of FastAPI requires it. Anyways thank you!

[@codingwithroby]

Great to hear! Thank you! 😊

[@raulmedrano9818]

thanks excellent job

[@codingwithroby]

Glad you were able to find value 🙂

[@Anteater23]

Great video

[@codingwithroby]

Thanks!

[@trixer230]

I would love this tutorial but showing how to use relationships. For instance how would you make it pull all the answers automagically when the question is pulled?

[@rafiali7315]

i watched your three times but i am got same error my question pass in db perfectly but choices doesnt put,

[@snir109]

Thank you

[@codingwithroby]

You are welcome 🙂

[@goswami_himanshu]

Great tutorial Eric. If you can create a video on slightly complex project using fastAPI and postgreSQL i'll watch it even if it's 3 hours long Btw you don't have to import List from typing anymore. New versions of python provides this already with the name list

[@codingwithroby]

Thanks for the suggestion! What exactly are you wanting to see so I have a better understanding 🙂

[@parnika2277]

@@codingwithroby maybe a program that has 2 tables one for student info and one for student marks and then you calculate things like average, grade, etc

[@thegreekgoat98]

It would have been much better if you have explained the logic behind the lines and what it does more clearly especially in database part.

[@codingwithroby]

Thanks for your recommendations!

[@tihomirkamenov2862]

Awesome video! p.s. An async function without an await expression will run synchronously :)

[@codingwithroby]

Nice addition!

[@AzharRafiq]

when we should use async vs def only?

[@tihomirkamenov2862]

Typically, async returns another async def most of the time (with await) until it reaches the final stage - any data from database, message, string, int etc. On the last stage the def should be also async but it will return with no await So in this case, @codingwithroby is correct, my mistake! @@AzharRafiq However, we use async def to avoid big delays when fetching data. This allows the program to switch between multiple tasks without blocking the main thread.

[@domingotrejo4554]

in a production project the lines of create_all and Annotated go ouside of endpoints, are a good practice ?

[@codingwithroby]

I would probably use migrations and have a deployment script do it, but for small/medium sized applications, absolutely!

[@Tommy-and-Ray]

Great video. Could you share the repo link by any chance please?

[@codingwithroby]

Hey friend, for this video I never saved the repo. Sorry!

[@juandelgado6201]

Can you share github repo with that project ?

[@timothyatanda1188]

What a comprehensive tutorial video, that was amazing! please do you have a class on Udemy where i can learn from you very well?

[@codingwithroby]

Yes I do! Link is in description 🙂

[@VeejayRampay]

class with a plural name are bad form but this is a nice video, props

[@owaisahmed2063]

pgadmin video link please

[@dipanjansaha6824]

Coming from MVC background! How about we put the files into a production grade folder 📂 structure?

[@codingwithroby]

The idea here was to simply show how to setup FastAPI with PostgreSQL. I appreciate your feedback🙂

[@metinEsturb]

@dipanjansaha6824: how would this structure that you mention look like? Do you have any reconmendations?

[@fatti.casuali]

Hi! Can anyone help me? I would like to have a GET endpoint that returns a JSON like this: { "question_text": "question", "choices": [ { "choice_text": "answer1", "is_correct": true }, { "choice_text": "answer2", "is_correct": false }, { "choice_text": "answer3", "is_correct": false }, { "choice_text": "answer4", "is_correct": false } ] } How do I do it? It seems like I can't select the columns I want even if the query seems right: print(select(Questions, Choices).where(Questions.id == Choices.question_id)) SELECT questions.id, questions.question_text, choices.id AS id_1, choices.choice_text, choices.is_correct, choices.question_id FROM questions, choices WHERE questions.id = choices.question_id Thanks for the help!

[@codingwithroby]

If you want this all in a single JSON, I would suggest creating another Python object that holds a String along with the choices objects, query the DB and place the info accordingly with the object you are returning.

[@elykou4843]

Post IS where you creat every thing'Just past it in thé post Doc and get it in thé get questions.

[@AxlRoseGVillanueva]

Greate tutorial!! how can we update database if we made changes from models? I really appreciate!

[@codingwithroby]

You will want to use something like Alembic. If it is a brand new app, you can delete the db and let SQLAlchemy recreate a new one for you.

[@ledieuduballonrond456]

Hi Eric I hope you're doing well, I have a slight issue when I paste the URL on my browser i keep getting "detail" : "not found". If anyone could help me please ?

[@mattmarshall1834]

What is the url that you are pasting? If you past the localhost url without anything after it the "detail":"not found" message will appear.

[@ledieuduballonrond456]

So what should I paste ?

[@iVentusHD]

HELLO PLEASE, i need you're help i followed the tuto exactly but when i want to launch the API i have an error "from sqlalchemy import Session ImportError: cannot import name 'Session' from 'sqlalchemy'"

[@codingwithroby]

Hey friend! How is it going? Let's figure out what is going on here. When are you doing this? It should be session maker if you are adding: from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

[@iVentusHD]

@@codingwithroby hey, the ImportError is Gone but when i do the Post endpoint they add null data to the database (i try to make my own api with user and when i post an user i can see the ID in database but all of the other data is null)

[@codingwithroby]

@@iVentusHD What does your Python method look like?

[@timothyatanda1188]

Eric, please do you have the completion of this tutorial in your Udemy class with the topic "Fastapi- The Complete Curse 2024 (Beginners+Avanced)? i mean the aspect of the delete, get _by_id and update"🙏

[@codingwithroby]

It is not exactly this tutorial, but it shows how to do almost everything 🙂

[@codingwithroby]

I am confident it will have what you are looking for

[@notalanjoseph]

How to host this on render?

[@codingwithroby]

Render is one option and another option is AWS. I have a video on AWS deployment you may be interested in.

[@akashsoni7925]

Create something like this 1) user registration in FastAPI ( Using two database PostgreSQL and MongoDB ) Registration fields - Full Name,Email,Password,Phone,Profile_picture First Name,Password,Email,Phone - postgreSQL Profile picture - MongoDB Check Email already exist 2) user registration in fastAPI ( Using postgreSQL ) Registration fields - Full Name,Email,Password,Phone,Profile_picture Create table Users to store : First Name,Password,Email,Phone Create table Profile to store : Profile_picture Check Email , Phone already exist

[@nehagawande1377]

can you share code

[@codingwithroby]

I do not have this code specifically anymore, but I can definitely look into keeping all code from my KZbins.
