Discussion on: Microservice in Python using FastAPI

View post

Hey Paurakh, first of all, thanks for the post very helpful. I am trying to understand a few things here any guidance would be appreciated. I am a novice so, pls excuse if my questions are lame,

Q1 - I tried the example that you have given were there were only 4 fields name, plot, genres, casts
everything is fine. Now if I need to make this work for let's say mongo, I need to add 2 more fields id and year, how would you go about doing that?

fake_movie_db = [
{
'name': 'Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker',
'plot': 'The surviving members of the resistance face the First Order once again.',
'genres': ['Action', 'Adventure', 'Fantasy'],
'casts': ['Daisy Ridley', 'Adam Driver']
}
]

Q2 - when I tried the same with our existing code, POST request was successful but when do a get it was not showing any of the new fields. there should be an error in this scenario?

Thanks
Aravinth

No, this is not a lame question. Thank you for asking the question.

To achieve this you have to add id and year to your Movie model.

e.g

class Movie(BaseModel):
    name: str
    plot: str
    genres: List[str]
    casts: List[str]
    id: str
    year: str

I hope that answers your question. Please let me know how that goes.
