Blog Project with FastAPI

This project contains a blog application built using FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and Jinja2. The application is designed to demonstrate the use of modern Python web development practices with asynchronous database handling and template rendering.

Features

• Create, read, update, and delete blog posts.
• MySQL database integration using SQLAlchemy.
• Asynchronous database handling with aiomysql.
• Jinja2 templates for rendering HTML pages.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• MySQL database instance

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the required dependencies: check requirements.txt

4. Set up the database:

   • Ensure your MySQL database is running.
   • Create a new database for the blog application.
   • Update the database connection settings in the project configuration.

5. Run the application:

   cd /Blog
   uvicorn app.main:app --reload

   Replace app.main with the actual path to your FastAPI application if different.

6. Access the application
