Code Samples
1. FastAPI Endpoint Example
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from fastapi.responses import FileResponse
from typing import Optional
import os
router = APIRouter()
@router.post("/generate-certificate")
async def generate_certificate(
request: CertificateRequest,
brand_logo: Optional[str] = File(...),
):
try:
# Generate certificate logic here
return FileResponse("certificate.pdf", media_type="application/pdf")
except Exception as e:
raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))
2. React UI Example
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useDropzone } from 'react-dropzone';
const CertificateGenerator = () => {
const [courseName, setCourseName] = useState('');
const [userName, setUserName] = useState('');
const [completionDate, setCompletionDate] = useState('');
const [brandLogo, setBrandLogo] = useState(null);
const { getRootProps, getInputProps } = useDropzone({
accept: {
'image/*': ['.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg']
},
onDrop: files => setBrandLogo(files[0])
});
const generateCertificate = async () => {
// Generate certificate logic here
};
return (
<div className="certificate-generator">
<h2>Generate Certificate</h2>
<div className="form-group">
<label>Course Name:</label>
<input
type="text"
value={courseName}
onChange={(e) => setCourseName(e.target.value)}
/>
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label>User Name:</label>
<input
type="text"
value={userName}
onChange={(e) => setUserName(e.target.value)}
/>
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label>Completion Date:</label>
<input
type="date"
value={completionDate}
onChange={(e) => setCompletionDate(e.target.value)}
/>
</div>
<div
{...getRootProps()}
className="dropzone"
>
<input {...getInputProps()} />
{brandLogo ? (
<p>Logo: {brandLogo.name}</p>
) : (
<p>Drop logo here...</p>
)}
</div>
<button onClick={generateCertificate}>
Generate Certificate
</button>
</div>
);
};
export default CertificateGenerator;
3. Pydantic Data Schema Example
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, validator
from datetime import date
class CertificateRequest(BaseModel):
course_name: str = Field(..., max_length=100)
user_name: str = Field(..., max_length=50)
completion_date: date = Field(...)
brand_id: int = Field(..., ge=1)
logo_url: Optional[str] = None
@validator('course_name')
def uppercase_course_name(cls, value):
return value.upper()
@validator('completion_date')
def validate_future_dates(cls, value):
if value > date.today():
raise ValueError("Completion date cannot be in the future")
return value
Example Usage
API Endpoint:
POST http://localhost:8000/generate-certificate
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
course_name=Introduction%20to%20AI&user_name=John%20Doe&completion_date=2023-10-05&brand_id=1&logo_url=courses/logo.png
React Component:
// Example usage in a parent component
import CertificateGenerator from './CertificateGenerator';
function App() {
return (
<div className="app">
<CertificateGenerator />
</div>
);
}
Dependencies
- FastAPI:
pip install fastapi
- Python-Multipart:
pip install python-multipart
- React-Dropzone:
npm install react-dropzone
Notes
- The endpoint accepts both form data and file uploads for custom branding.
- The React component uses
react-dropzone
for handling file uploads. - Pydantic models are used for request validation in the FastAPI endpoint.
