# Using uv with FastAPI | ||
|
||
[FastAPI](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi) is modern, high-performance Python web framework. You | ||
can use uv to manage your FastAPI project, including installing dependencies, managing environments, | ||
running FastAPI applications, and more. | ||
|
||
!!! note | ||
|
||
You can view the source code for this guide in the [uv-fastapi-example](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv-fastapi-example) repository. | ||
|
||
As an example, consider the sample application defined in the | ||
[FastAPI documentation](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/bigger-applications/), structured as | ||
follows: | ||
|
||
```plaintext | ||
. | ||
├── app | ||
│ ├── __init__.py | ||
│ ├── main.py | ||
│ ├── dependencies.py | ||
│ └── routers | ||
│ │ ├── __init__.py | ||
│ │ ├── items.py | ||
│ │ └── users.py | ||
│ └── internal | ||
│ ├── __init__.py | ||
│ └── admin.py | ||
``` | ||
|
||
To migrate this project to uv, add a `pyproject.toml` file to the root directory of the project, as | ||
a sibling to the `app` directory. | ||
|
||
```plantuml | ||
. | ||
├── pyproject.toml | ||
├── app | ||
│ ├── __init__.py | ||
│ ├── main.py | ||
│ ├── dependencies.py | ||
│ └── routers | ||
│ │ ├── __init__.py | ||
│ │ ├── items.py | ||
│ │ └── users.py | ||
│ └── internal | ||
│ ├── __init__.py | ||
│ └── admin.py | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The contents of the `pyproject.toml` file should look something like this: | ||
|
||
```toml title="pyproject.toml" | ||
[project] | ||
name = "app" | ||
version = "0.1.0" | ||
description = "FastAPI project" | ||
readme = "README.md" | ||
requires-python = ">=3.12" | ||
dependencies = [ | ||
"fastapi", | ||
] | ||
|
||
[build-system] | ||
requires = ["hatchling"] | ||
build-backend = "hatchling.build" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
From there, you can run the FastAPI application with: | ||
|
||
```console | ||
$ uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload | ||
``` | ||
|
||
`uv run` will automatically resolve and lock the project dependencies (i.e., create a `uv.lock` | ||
alongside the `pyproject.toml`), create a virtual environment, and run the command in that | ||
environment. | ||
|
||
## Initializing a FastAPI project | ||
|
||
We could reach a similar result to the above by creating a project from scratch with `uv init` and | ||
installing FastAPI with `uv add fastapi`, as in: | ||
|
||
```console | ||
$ uv init app | ||
$ cd app | ||
$ uv add fastapi | ||
``` | ||
|
||
By default, uv uses a `src` layout for newly-created projects, so the `app` directory will be nested | ||
within a `src` directory. If you copied over the source code from the FastAPI tutorial, the project | ||
structure would look like this: | ||
|
||
```plaintext | ||
. | ||
├── pyproject.toml | ||
└── src | ||
└── app | ||
├── __init__.py | ||
├── main.py | ||
├── dependencies.py | ||
└── routers | ||
│ ├── __init__.py | ||
│ ├── items.py | ||
│ └── users.py | ||
└── internal | ||
├── __init__.py | ||
└── admin.py | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In this case, you would run the FastAPI application with: | ||
|
||
```console | ||
$ uv run uvicorn --app-dir src app.main:app --reload | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Deployment | ||
|
||
To deploy the FastAPI application with Docker, you can use the following `Dockerfile`: | ||
|
||
```dockerfile title="Dockerfile" | ||
FROM python:3.12-slim-bullseye | ||
|
||
# Install uv. | ||
COPY --from=ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:latest /uv /bin/uv | ||
|
||
# Copy the application into the container. | ||
COPY . /app | ||
|
||
# Install the application dependencies. | ||
WORKDIR /app | ||
RUN uv sync --frozen --no-cache | ||
|
||
# Run the application. | ||
CMD ["/app/.venv/bin/fastapi", "run", "app/main.py", "--port", "80"] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
