I looked at the fastapi code.
I actually want to avoid get, post, put, 2xx, 4xx codes in the client
portions of the code. (I don't think it's pythonic). And Fastapi seems to
have them exactly the same.
Look at how the code looks when you are using FastAPI and with my OpenAPI
Native Bindings - below:
=============== [Code using FastAPI]
def test_create_item(): response = client.post( "/items/", headers={
"X-Token": "coneofsilence"}, json={"id": "foobar", "title": "Foo Bar",
"description": "The Foo Barters"}, ) assert response.status_code == 200
assert response.json() == { "id": "foobar", "title": "Foo Bar",
"description": "The Foo Barters",
}.
=============== [Code using pyopenapi - my proposal]
def test_create_item():
client = client('host', creds).connect('/')
try: assert client.items.id == "foobar"
assert client.items.title == "Foo Bar"
assert client.items.description == "The Foo Barters"
except AttributeError:
print("Items does not exist!")
