Linting and Formatting

make lint  # checks for linting errors
make fmt   # formats the code

Configuration

This project uses Dynaconf to manage configuration.

from fastapi_project_template.config import settings

Acessing variables

settings.get("SECRET_KEY", default="sdnfjbnfsdf")
settings["SECRET_KEY"]
settings.SECRET_KEY
settings.db.uri
settings["db"]["uri"]
settings["db.uri"]
settings.DB__uri

Defining variables

On files

settings.toml

[development]
dynaconf_merge = true

[development.db]
echo = true

dynaconf_merge is a boolean that tells if the settings should be merged with the default settings defined in fastapi_project_template/default.toml.

As environment variables

export fastapi_project_template_KEY=value
export fastapi_project_template_KEY="@int 42"
export fastapi_project_template_KEY="@jinja {{ this.db.uri }}"
export fastapi_project_template_DB__uri="@jinja {{ this.db.uri | replace('db', 'data') }}"

Secrets

There is a file .secrets.toml where your sensitive variables are stored, that file must be ignored by git. (add that to .gitignore)

Or store your secrets in environment variables or a vault service, Dynaconf can read those variables.

Switching environments

fastapi_project_template_ENV=production fastapi_project_template run
