homecloud

W.I.P/ more detailed readme to come
A command line tool for generating the template files needed to integrate fastapi, uvicorn, and a requests based client into a Python project over a local network.
Devices on the local network running a client can automatically find the server for their app name at startup.

Installation

Install with

pip install homecloud

Usage

Navigate to your project directory in the terminal and run

>homecloud

Several files should have been generated. Assuming the project directory is called myapp, you should see the following files:

homecloud_config.toml
myapp_client.py
myapp_get_routes.py
myapp_post_routes.py
myapp_request_models.py
myapp_server.py

The server for myapp can be started by running the myapp_server.py script.
Any device on the local network that runs code that creates a myapp.MyappClient object should be able to automatically find the ip address and port of the myapp server.

Other myapp_*_routes.py files can be generated by passing their names with the -r/--routes switch to the homecloud tool.
If, earlier, we ran

>homecloud -r trace put

then we would have generated the previous files as well as

myapp_trace_routes.py
myapp_put_routes.py

The help display for homecloud:

>homecloud -h

  -r [ROUTES ...], --routes [ROUTES ...]
