With the latest FastAPI version, on_event lifespan functions are depreceated. Here is the official doc.
We need to make use of asynccontextmanager with the latest fastapi.
Here is an example how to use lifespan (Repeated Tasks) functions with latest fastapi:
from fastapi import FastAPI
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from fastapi_utilities import repeat_every, repeat_at
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
# --- startup ---
await test()
test2()
yield
# --- shutdown ---
app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
# Repeat Every Example
@repeat_every(seconds=2)
async def test():
print("test")
# Repeat At Example
@repeat_at(cron="* * * * *")
def test2():
print("test2")
Only difference is to call our tasks from lifespan function instead of using on_event function.
We have introduced ttl_lru_cache now in our library.
from fastapi_utilities import ttl_lru_cache
@ttl_lru_cache(ttl=2, max_size=128)
def sum(a: int, b: int) -> int:
return a + b
sum(1, 3)
sum(1, 3)
With our CLI Tool you can get a skeleton project built to get you started with the code.
poetry: poetry run cli initpip: python3 -m cli initThis package includes a number of utilities to help reduce boilerplate and reuse common functionality across projects:
from fastapi_utilities import repeat_every
@router.on_event('startup')
@repeat_every(seconds=3)
async def print_hello():
print("hello")
from fastapi_utilities import repeat_at
@router.on_event("startup")
@repeat_at(cron="*/2 * * * *") #every 2nd minute
async def hey():
print("hey")
import asyncio
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from fastapi_utilities import add_timer_middleware
app = FastAPI()
add_timer_middleware(app, show_avg=True)
@app.get("/")
def read_root():
return {"message": "Hello, World!"}
