Why You NEED To Learn FastAPI | Hands On Project

[@hndr91]

Mann, this video is crystal clear intro to FastAPI

[@milunacodes]

I knew FastAPI was good but it is actually great! Much more production ready than Flask and much closer to Spring framework

[@keylanoslokj1806]

What do all those weird terms mean?

[@milunacodes]

@@keylanoslokj1806 Flask is another Python library and Spring is a Java framework

[@rl6382]

​@@keylanoslokj1806they represent different ways of doing things.

[@danielkirsch4351]

What makes it closer to Spring in your view @miluna94 ? - interested to know as I am looking into python frameworks and wish to pick something which may make it simpler in terms of congnitive load and context switching . Thanks

[@milunacodes]

​@@danielkirsch4351I would say the autoconfigured validation, swagger and all those sweet things that Flask does not have out of the box

[@incognito_789]

I'm sort of a newbie so it takes me some hours to follow up, but your video is incredibly concisely and informative. Thumbs up for you, thank you soooo much!!!

[@aitools24]

00:03 Creating an API first allows for easy integration and maintenance of multiple applications. 02:30 Fast API is a better alternative than Flask as an API. 05:20 FastAPI provides built-in async support and is more efficient than Flask 07:57 Create and validate a to-do item for the API 10:44 Fast API provides typed APIs, allowing for easy declaration of types in Python. 13:29 Implementing CRUD Operations 16:14 Updating to-do items 18:46 Fast API provides a built-in Swagger UI for easy API documentation and testing. Crafted by Merlin AI.

[@whisperingadventurespnw]

Could you do a follow up on this video using a database? I’ve seen fast api tutorials like this before but they all stop before they implement the database layer. If you made that video you’d be the only one with that content.

[@terribletruth8201]

11:25 If you're dumb or blind like me, make sure the menu item next to GraphQL is set to "JSON". Mine was defaulted to text, it took me forever to figure out why mine wasn't working.

[@sanderweide6245]

you saved me from insanity with this comment, thanks!

[@rafaelnegreiros_analyst]

Great video. Thank you for that. I'm starting to develop in Python, using Flet. This library has integration with fastapi by the package flet-fastapi. I'm creating a page that will have a set of forms. So I will use flet-fastapi to handle the routes , but seeing your video it seems now to me that Fastapi is useful to create API's, a way to manipulate data in a DB

[@ratzule]

Outstanding, Travis. Crystal clear and fun. This is the first of your videos I have found, but I enjoyed and learned so much useful stuff in it I immediately subscribed.

[@_MagL]

At 16:42 line 32 just updating the Todo item would suffice since the Todo id isn't expected to change

[@ragsbigfella]

Travis, thank you for this video. Can you please create a video with async/await in fastapi with a bigger project which has a multiple folders/files?

[@phaneendhraajaythota1025]

awesome.. I worked with flask apis .. it pretty much looked the same.. with built in async etc.. thank you.

[@parkerrex]

Caught me a bit off guard that you kept calling it FastTrack and then got the count off, but forget that this video was great!!! Thanks Travis.

[@hellomelloyello]

Excellent tutorial. I did a Coursera Cert on Back-End using Django and was entirely overwhelmed! Lol. This clarified a lot for me.

[@ronjones1587]

Amazing ! This video got me started very FAST, thank you very much!

[@adiljamshad215]

I'm asking about fastapi being typed (I am talking about developer experience). As I have worked with c#. The typed characteristic is what I admire the most about it. Python being a dynamic language, how can fastapi be typed while running on python? Is it compile time typed or is it run time typed too?

[@PiotrRzeszów-c9x]

Serialization time typed, it uses Pydantic

[@BokoMoko65]

This is a very good video. Congrats. Pitty it didn't cover the authentication and how to enhance the swagger docs. Maybe a more in depth video later, hmm? What do you think?

[@kasir-barati]

But I thought that typing is something was added in Python v3. So could it be really an advantages over Flask? BTW how about something like dJango?

[@pawjast]

That was a great demo of fastAPI. Really cool library!

[@daze8410]

I love fastapi because I love flask and it's basically the same syntax but with more features

nice video. how do you compare it with something like Ruby-Sinatra or Hanami ?

[@Darbokst]

went to join your community for vid 2 and 3, hopefully it'll be back soon.

[@chriskeo392]

[@TravisMedia]

Expect it soon. Been looking for a reason to use htmx.

[@mawkuri5496]

can you make a tutorial using flet as a frontend and fast api as a backend.

[@MrProgrammerSharmaJi]

🥺🥺 now python can be my primary goto for small and medium projects as it resolves my concern of oversized setup of anything like django... Also it made easy to structure our project by ourselves.

[@zbyszeks3657]

6:46 "ERROR: Error loading ASGI app. Attribute "app" not found in module "main". Just didn't "save" on the file and there was not autosave mode on

[@istwishmeister9368]

does anyone know why the FastAPI document in this video is shown differently than the currently available version? How can I get the proper documentation version of FastAPI?

[@timbrap4693]

You mention when building a webapp, you can use a frontend like react to call the routes. When you do this, the calls are visible from the network tab in devtools. But when I visit some of the more famous websites, those calls arent always visible. Why is that? Do they not use an API, or do they serverside render it (prefetch serverside and send the data over some way)

[@Crypt0mite]

This is a good question I would like to know this as well.

[@AdefemiGreat]

Most big companies have an active socket connection for transferring data between the backend and frontend. So what you see most times is just interaction between the frontend and the socket service

[@timbrap4693]

@@AdefemiGreat Do you happen to have by any chance some literature about this topic?

[@AdefemiGreat]

@@timbrap4693 not literature really, more like experience

[@thomasanderson9539]

Great! How do you have the autocompletion in your terminal? Is it a plug-in or a special terminal

[@Bangs_Theory]

Question: Why do you create a new project and environment using a terminal program outside of VS Code when you're going to end up using vs-code to build out your app? Please someone answer this question, I noticed many people do this.

[@TravisMedia]

Two reasons for me: 1. I by default just start with the terminal by habit when I do things like this. 2. If you start with VSCode, often when you bootstrap a project it creates a new folder. Then you have to cd into that and reopen VSCode to show the file tree from that folder. If you start with the terminal, you can install, cd into a directory, and get into the path where you need to be, and then at last open up a text editor in that path.

[@BboyKeny]

I used to use the terminal to go to the project directory and start vscode with code . Now I use neovim instead of vscode. I like the terminal because it gives easy access to many programs / functionalities.

[@andybecker5001]

Built in swagger is cool. This Definitely seems more intuitive than JavaScript

[@Proviper666]

Did he talk about FastAPI minuses? There got to at least one?

[@StrategicCIS]

I've got a database on a digital ocean droplet that I'm trying to connect to with FastAPI and SQLModel. I can connect to the DB when it's local. Do you have any tutorials on getting things up on the cloud? Thanks.

[@TravisMedia]

So a database installed and running on a droplet that you manage, or a managed database that DO manages? Just wanted to clarify.

[@StrategicCIS]

It's a database on a droplet that I manage. I've made some progress: I've got FastAPI/SQLModel on a Deta space. I'm getting a {"detail":"Not Found"}, and in the Swagger docs I'm getting a 200 Successful response and then a 422 Validation Error. From my research, it looks like everything is good on the server side of things and that there's something wrong with my code - either the ORM or the API. Is that accurate?

[@jironymojirolamus913]

Great turorial, thanks!

[@jameszack7158]

Hi. I want to build a web application. I know coding in python and javascript. But that's all. I don't know anything about web applications, HTML, CSS, frontend, backend, routing, HTTP, databases, servers, protocols etc. So, how can I learn about these things and how do I build a web application? Could you please recommend a book explaining all these things for a complete beginner? Thanks.

[@thehereticalinvestigation]

Dude just ask ChatGPT those exact same things.

[@david_chuka]

hey James, I'd say you already have the basics down i.e you know what it takes to build a web application. It'll really help if you have a project idea in mind to motivate you to build something entirely from scratch. If not, taking a course might be a better first step before you read a book because this way you get to internalize a lot of fairly new concepts visually. Please check out courses on Udemy or Scrimba for affordable courses. If you want something free, NetNinja/Traversy media is a great place to start. Goodluck!

[@Roman_Carter]

Any recommendations for older tech guy getting into development starting from scratch…?

[@SergioBallestrero]

It depends a lot on your background and your goal (personal or career move). But anyway what I feel is most important is to be motivated and enjoy doing it, so find some hobby project to experiment, like automating some task, some home IoT with RasPi, Arduino etc. The second one is to read not just books but other people's code too.

[@confidential303]

Age doesn't matter. The intent to learn is

[@martinkrauser4029]

I recommend not being fooled into thinking age is a factor for learning skills. When you're new, you're new. :) Better question to ask would be "with my background in this and interests in this, where do you recommend I start"
