aiohttp-asgi-connector 1.0.1

AIOHTTP Connector for running ASGI applications

aiohttp-asgi-connector

AIOHTTP Connector for running ASGI applications.

This library intends to increase the parity between AIOHTTP and HTTPX, specifically with HTTPX's AsyncClient. It is primarily intended to be used in test suite scenarios, or other situations where one would want to interface with an ASGI application directly instead of through a web server.

Supports Python 3.8+ and AIOHTTP 3+.

Installation

$ pdm add aiohttp-asgi-connector
# or
$ python -m pip install --user aiohttp-asgi-connector

Usage

This library replaces the entire connection stack and pool underlying HTTP transport. AIOHTTP exposes custom connectors via the connector argument supplied when creating a ClientSession instance.

To use the ASGIApplicationConnector:

import asyncio
from typing import Annotated  # or from typing_extensions

from aiohttp_asgi_connector import ASGIApplicationConnector
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from fastapi import FastAPI, Body

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/ping")
async def pong(message: Annotated[str, Body(embed=True)]):
    return {"broadcast": f"Application says '{message}'!"}

async def main():
    connector = ASGIApplicationConnector(app)
    async with ClientSession(base_url="http://localhost", connector=connector) as session:
        async with session.post("/ping", json={"message": "hello"}) as resp:
            print(await resp.json())
            # ==> {'broadcast': "Application says 'hello'!"}

asyncio.run(main())

Exceptions raised within the ASGI application that are not handled by the application, like HTTPException in FastAPI for example, are propagated.

This library does not handle ASGI lifespan events. If you want to run those events, use this library in conjunction with something like asgi-lifespan.
