About The Project

Python template for OpenFAAS functions using FastAPI. This template has two flavours, a simple project using fastapi and a more complex with authentication using JWE (encrypted JWT) for improved security.

Getting Started

To run this project locally, you will need to install the prerequisites and follow the installation section.

Prerequisites

• This Project depends on OpenFAAS

  curl -sSL https://cli.openfaas.com | sudo -E sh

Installation

1. Pull the template

   faas template pull https://github.com/nullhack/openfaas-fastapi-template/

2. Create a new function

   faas new --lang openfaas-fastapi-template myf

   or

   faas new --lang openfaas-fastapi-jwe-template myf

3. Include the function name as environment variable into the myf.yml file

   ...
       environment:
         FUNCNAME: myf
   ...

4. build and publish the function to the server

   faas up -f myf.yml

Alternative Usage

It's possible to directly use the template without OpenFAAS or to test it before pushing to the server.

• Install requirements

  pip install poethepoet poetry
  # go to the function folder
  poe install-dev

• Run tests

  poe test

• Generate API documentation

  poe doc

• Build a docker image for tests

  poe docker-build --target test --build-tag 3.10-alpine
  docker run -ti --rm handler:test-3.10-alpine

• Build a docker image to run the root files only without running any test

  poe docker-build --target prod --build-tag 3.10-alpine --no-test
  docker run -ti --rm handler:prod-3.10-alpine

For more examples, please refer to the Documentation
