Starlette applications can register multiple event handlers for dealing with
|
|
code that needs to run before the application starts up, or when the application
|
|
is shutting down.
|
|
|
|
## Registering events
|
|
|
|
These event handlers can either be `async` coroutines, or regular syncronous
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
The event handlers can be registered with a decorator syntax, like so:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from starlette.applications import Starlette
|
|
|
|
|
|
app = Starlette()
|
|
|
|
@app.on_event('startup')
|
|
async def open_database_connection_pool():
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
@app.on_event('shutdown')
|
|
async def close_database_connection_pool():
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
Or as a regular function call:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from starlette.applications import Starlette
|
|
|
|
|
|
app = Starlette()
|
|
|
|
async def open_database_connection_pool():
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
async def close_database_connection_pool():
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
app.add_event_handler('startup', open_database_connection_pool)
|
|
app.add_event_handler('shutdown', close_database_connection_pool)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Starlette will not start serving any incoming requests until all of the
|
|
registered startup handlers have completed.
|
|
|
|
The shutdown handlers will run once all connections have been closed, and
|
|
any in-process background tasks have completed.
|
|
|
|
## Running event handlers in tests
|
|
|
|
You might want to explicitly call into your event handlers in any test setup
|
|
or test teardown code.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use `TestClient` as a context manager, to ensure that
|
|
startup and shutdown events are called.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from example import app
|
|
from starlette.lifespan import LifespanContext
|
|
from starlette.testclient import TestClient
|
|
|
|
|
|
def test_homepage():
|
|
with TestClient(app) as client:
|
|
# Application 'startup' handlers are called on entering the block.
|
|
response = client.get("/")
|
|
assert response.status_code == 200
|
|
|
|
# Application 'shutdown' handlers are called on exiting the block.
|
|
```
|
