labthings_fastapi.endpoints
===========================

.. py:module:: labthings_fastapi.endpoints

.. autoapi-nested-parse::

   Add a FastAPI endpoint without making it an action.

   The `.EndpointDescriptor` wraps a function and marks it to be added to the
   HTTP API at the same time as the properties and actions of the host `.Thing`.
   This is intended to allow flexibility to implement endpoints that cannot be
   described in a Thing Description as actions or properties.

   It may use any `fastapi` responses or arguments, as it passes keyword
   arguments through to the relevant `fastapi` decorator.

   This will most usually be applied as a decorator with arguments, available
   as :deco:`.endpoint`. See the documentation for that function for
   more detail.
