Update FastAPI integration docs (#6833) (#6850)
## Summary

- Fixed the directory structure and commands for the second scenario
#6833
- Added a headline "Migrating an existing FastAPI project" because the
first part looks like a migration scenario, but didn't have its own
section before.
- Added explicit `--app` flags to commands to emphasize that the
commands create an Application project. Although maybe unnecessary
considering that `--app` is now default.
- Added instructions for testing that the dev server and Docker image
work correctly
- Took the liberty of adding a `project` at the root of all directory
structures and appropriate commands.
- With explicitly defined root directory it is easier to differentiate
between the `project` root directory and FastAPI's `app` directory.
- Without it it could be less obvious for developers less familiar with
FastAPI. Had a similar issue when started using Django several years
ago.
- If I left `app` in the command, then after copying the **app
directory** from https://github.com/astral-sh/uv-fastapi-example the
path would be `app/app/...`.
- Cleaned up glyphs in tree sctructures that were copied from FastAPI
docs.

## Caveats

- On project initialization `hello.py` is created. It is not reflected
in directory structure trees in this PR and may be slightly confusing
for developers less familiar with uv.
- I believe it will be soon addressed in #6750 and after that the docs
will reflect actual directory structure.

# Using uv with FastAPI
[FastAPI](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi) is a modern, high-performance Python web framework.
You can use uv to manage your FastAPI project, including installing dependencies, managing
environments, running FastAPI applications, and more.
!!! note
You can view the source code for this guide in the [uv-fastapi-example](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv-fastapi-example) repository.
## Migrating an existing FastAPI project
As an example, consider the sample application defined in the
[FastAPI documentation](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/bigger-applications/), structured as
follows:
```plaintext
project
└── app
├── __init__.py
├── main.py
├── dependencies.py
├── routers
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── items.py
│ └── users.py
└── internal
├── __init__.py
└── admin.py
```
To use uv with this application, inside the `project` directory run:
```console
$ uv init --app
```
This creates an [Application project](../../concepts/projects.md#applications) with a
`pyproject.toml` file.
Then, add a dependency on FastAPI:
```console
$ uv add fastapi --extra standard
```
You should now have the following structure:
```plaintext
project
├── pyproject.toml
└── app
├── __init__.py
├── main.py
├── dependencies.py
├── routers
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── items.py
│ └── users.py
└── internal
├── __init__.py
└── admin.py
```
And the contents of the `pyproject.toml` file should look something like this:
```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[project]
name = "uv-fastapi-example"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "FastAPI project"
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = [
"fastapi[standard]",
]
```
From there, you can run the FastAPI application with:
```console
$ uv run fastapi dev
```
`uv run` will automatically resolve and lock the project dependencies (i.e., create a `uv.lock`
alongside the `pyproject.toml`), create a virtual environment, and run the command in that
environment.
Test the app by opening http://127.0.0.1:8000/?token=jessica in a web browser.
## Deployment
To deploy the FastAPI application with Docker, you can use the following `Dockerfile`:
```dockerfile title="Dockerfile"
FROM python:3.12-slim
# Install uv.
COPY --from=ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:latest /uv /bin/uv
# Copy the application into the container.
COPY . /app
# Install the application dependencies.
WORKDIR /app
RUN uv sync --frozen --no-cache
# Run the application.
CMD ["/app/.venv/bin/fastapi", "run", "app/main.py", "--port", "80", "--host", "0.0.0.0"]
```
Build the Docker image with:
```console
$ docker build -t fastapi-app .
```
Run the Docker container locally with:
```console
$ docker run -p 8000:80 fastapi-app
```
Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/?token=jessica in your browser to verify that the app is running
correctly.
