ReadyAPI CLI

Source Code: https://github.com/readyapi/readyapi-cli

Run and manage ReadyAPI apps from the command line with ReadyAPI CLI. 🚀

Description

ReadyAPI CLI is a command line program readyapi that you can use to serve your ReadyAPI app, manage your ReadyAPI project, and more.

When you install ReadyAPI (e.g. with pip install "readyapi[standard]"), it includes a package called readyapi-cli, this package provides the readyapi command in the terminal.

To run your ReadyAPI app for development, you can use the readyapi dev command:

$ readyapi dev main.py

That command line program called readyapi is ReadyAPI CLI.

ReadyAPI CLI takes the path to your Python program and automatically detects the variable with the ReadyAPI (commonly named app) and how to import it, and then serves it.

For production you would use readyapi run instead. 🚀

Internally, ReadyAPI CLI uses Uvicorn, a high-performance, production-ready, ASGI server. 😎

readyapi dev

When you run readyapi dev, it will run on development mode.

By default, it will have auto-reload enabled, so it will automatically reload the server when you make changes to your code. This is resource intensive and could be less stable than without it, you should only use it for development.

By default it will listen on the IP address 127.0.0.1, which is the IP for your machine to communicate with itself alone (localhost).

readyapi run

When you run readyapi run, it will run on production mode by default.

It will have auto-reload disabled by default.

It will listen on the IP address 0.0.0.0, which means all the available IP addresses, this way it will be publicly accessible to anyone that can communicate with the machine. This is how you would normally run it in production, for example, in a container.

In most cases you would (and should) have a "termination proxy" handling HTTPS for you on top, this will depend on how you deploy your application, your provider might do this for you, or you might need to set it up yourself. You can learn more about it in the ReadyAPI Deployment documentation.
