Building a Todo List Application with Azure Cosmos DB and FastAPI in Python

This repository hosts a Todo List application that demonstrates the integration of Azure Cosmos DB as a backend database with a FastAPI service in Python. It offers a simple interface for users to manage their tasks with Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations.

Features

• Set up the development environment and install the required Python libraries.
• Connect to Azure Cosmos DB using a KEY with the Python client.
• Create the necessary databases and containers using Python.
• Definition of the ToDoItem data model within FastAPI and implementation of the CRUD API endpoints.

Getting Started

1. Click on the Open in GitHub Codespaces above to open this repository in Codespaces.
2. Within the Codespaces environment, navigate to the /src/ directory and create a .env file. Populate it with your Azure Cosmos DB URI and KEY like so:

COSMOS_URI = "your_cosmos_db_uri"
COSMOS_KEY = "your_cosmos_db_key"

3. Launch the web app by running the following commands:

cd src/ &&
uvicorn main:app --reload
