Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Let’s open our .env file and set up Cloudinary.”

A block of code is set as follows:

from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/")
async def root():
    return {"message": "Hello FastAPI"}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

import shutil
from fastapi import FastAPI, Form, File, UploadFile
app = FastAPI()

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

uvicorn chapter3_first_endpoint:app --reload

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “You must explicitly set that on your Cloudinary settings page, under the Uploads tab – Enable unsigned uploading.”
