Getting Started

The code generator for FastStream is a Python library that automates the process of creating FastStream applications. It works by taking your application requirements and swiftly turning them into a ready-to-deploy FastStream application.

The key features are:

• Automatic FastStream project generation: faststream-gen enables you to easily generate complete FastStream application with minimal effort. This library allows you to outline your application requirements, and it will quickly transform them into a fully-fledged FastStream project.
• Tested code: faststream-gen provides dependable code through rigorous testing, including pre-implemented integration tests, ensuring stability and functionality, saving development time, and preventing common bugs.
• Script Templates: Streamline the deployment of your FastStream application using faststream-gen’s built-in scripts, tailored for initiating, subscribing to Kafka topic and shutting down the local Kafka broker.
• GitHub workflow files: faststream-gen integrates seamlessly with your version control and continuous integration pipeline through its GitHub workflow files. These predefined configuration files are optimized for FastStream projects, enabling smooth integration with GitHub Actions. You can automate tasks such as code validation, testing, and deployment, ensuring that your FastStream application remains in top shape throughout its development lifecycle.

Quick start

The following quick start guide will walk you through installing and configuring the faststream-gen library, demonstrating the creation of a new FastStream project in seconds.

Install

faststream-gen is published as a Python package and can be installed with pip:

pip install faststream-gen

If the installation was successful, you should now have the faststream-gen installed on your system. Run the below command from the terminal to see the full list of available commands:

Generate new project

The faststream-gen library uses OpenAI’s model to generate FastStream projects. In order to use the library, you’ll need to create an API key for OpenAI.

Once you have your API key, store it in the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable. This is a necessary step for the library to work.

We’re now ready to create a new FastStream application with the faststream-gen library.

Simply run the following command to create a new FastStream application in the my-awesome-project directory:

faststream_gen "Create a FastStream application using localhost broker for testing and use the default port number. It should consume messages from the 'input_data' topic, where each message is a JSON encoded object containing a single attribute: 'data'. While consuming from the topic, increment the value of the data attribute by 1. Finally, send message to the 'output_data' topic." -o "./my-awesome-project"

✨  Generating a new FastStream application!
 ✔ Application description validated. 
 ✔ FastStream app skeleton code generated. akes around 15 to 45 seconds)...
 ✔ The app and the tests are generated.  around 30 to 90 seconds)...
 ✔ New FastStream project created. 
 ✔ Integration tests were successfully completed. 
 Tokens used: 9398
 Total Cost (USD): $0.02865
✨  All files were successfully generated!

Here’s a look at the directory hierarchy:

5 directories, 14 files

Let’s take a quick look at the generated application and test code.

application.py:

from faststream import FastStream, Logger
from faststream.kafka import KafkaBroker

broker = KafkaBroker("localhost:9092")
app = FastStream(broker)

to_output_data = broker.publisher("output_data")


@broker.subscriber("input_data")
async def on_input_data(msg: dict, logger: Logger) -> None:
    logger.info(f"{msg=}")
    incremented_data = msg["data"] + 1
    await to_output_data.publish({"data": incremented_data})

test_application.py:

import pytest

from faststream import Context
from faststream.kafka import TestKafkaBroker

from app.application import broker, on_input_data


@broker.subscriber("output_data")
async def on_output_data(msg: dict, key: bytes = Context("message.raw_message.key")):
    pass


@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_data_was_incremented():
    async with TestKafkaBroker(broker):
        await broker.publish({"data": 1}, "input_data")
        on_input_data.mock.assert_called_with({"data": 1})
        on_output_data.mock.assert_called_with({"data": 2})

Start localhost Kafka broker

In order for FastStream applications to publish and consume messages from the Kafka broker, it is necessary to have a running Kafka broker.

Along with application and test, faststream-gen also generated scripts directory. You can start local Kafka broker (inside docker container) by executing following commands:

cd my-awesome-project
# make all shell scripts executable
chmod +x scripts/*.sh
# start local kafka broker
./scripts/start_kafka_broker_locally.sh

Start application

To start the FastKafka application, run the following command:

faststream run  app.application:app

Stop application

To stop the FastKafka application, run the following command:

./scripts/stop_kafka_broker_locally.sh
