First steps

These articles will teach you the basic principles of Nestipy. You'll get to know its key components by building a simple CRUD application, which will introduce you to various beginner-level features.

Prerequisites

Please make sure that Python (version >= 3.9) is installed on your operating system.

Setup

Starting a fresh project using the Nestipy CLI is simple. Just configure Python's environment and run these commands in your OS terminal to create a new Nestipy project.

Bash

pip install nestipy-cli
nestipy new project-name

Upon execution, a directory named project-name will be generated, containing a src/ directory filled with essential core files.

Text Only

├── app_module.py
├── app_controller.py
├── app_service.py
├── main.py
|── requirements.txt
|── README.md
├── src
│    ├── __init__.py

The main.py file contains an instance of application and bootstrapping it with uvicorn.

Python

import uvicorn
from nestipy.core import NestipyFactory

from app_module import AppModule

app = NestipyFactory.create(AppModule)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    uvicorn.run('main:app', reload=True)

Platform

In essence, Nestipy can function with any ASGI framework once an adapter is developed. It inherently supports two ASGI platforms: FastAPI and BlackSheep. You have the freedom to select the one that aligns most closely with your requirements. By default, Nestipy use FastAPI adapter. We can specify platform from NestipyFactory.

Python

from nestipy.core import NestipyFastApiApplication

app = NestipyFactory[NestipyFastApiApplication].create(AppModule)

Or with blacksheep

Python

from nestipy.core import NestipyBlackSheepApplication

app = NestipyFactory[NestipyBlackSheepApplication].create(AppModule)

Running the application

After installation, simply run this command in your OS terminal to start the application and listen for incoming HTTP requests:

Bash

nestipy start --dev
