This is a quick-start template for setting up a FastAPI microservice with OpenAI integration. Perfect for building lightweight API prototypes where a UI isn't needed initially. The project is containerized with Docker for easy setup and deployment.

Prototype-Mini is the lightweight FastAPI version of Prototype. Use Prototype for full-stack Django projects with UI, and Prototype-Mini for fast API-only microservices.

Before starting, ensure you have:

• Docker and Docker Compose installed (latest versions recommended)

git clone https://github.com/vorniches/prototype-mini your_app_name
cd your_app_name

Run the following command to set up the environment:

./setup.sh

This will:

1. Create the FastAPI project structure (if not already present)
2. Move the openai_helper.py to the appropriate directory
3. Build and start the Docker containers

The FastAPI server will be available at:

• http://localhost:9019
• http://localhost:9019/docs (Interactive API Docs)

1. Copy the example.env file to .env:

   cp example.env .env

2. Edit .env to include your OpenAI API key:

   OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_openai_api_key>
