Easly integrate socket.io with your FastAPI app.

Install this plugin using pip:

$ pip install fastapi-socketio

To add SocketIO support to FastAPI all you need to do is import SocketManager and pass it FastAPI object.

# app.py
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_socketio import SocketManager

app = FastAPI()
socket_manager = SocketManager(app=app)

Now you can use SocketIO directly from your FastAPI app object.

# socket_handlers.py
from .app import app

@app.sio.on('join')
async def handle_join(sid, *args, **kwargs):
    await app.sio.emit('lobby', 'User joined')

Or you can import SocketManager object that exposes most of the SocketIO functionality.

# socket_handlers2.py
from .app import socket_manager as sm

@sm.on('leave')
async def handle_leave(sid, *args, **kwargs):
    await sm.emit('lobby', 'User left')

To contribute to this library, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

cd fastapi-socketio
python -mvenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Or if you are using pipenv:

pipenv shell

Now install the dependencies and tests:

pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

pytest

To run the examples simply run:

PYTHONPATH=. python examples/app.py

Before running example make sure you have all dependencies installed.
