Form Input Missing in FastAPI, Displays JSON Instead During Testing

I am trying out the examples from FastAPI: FastAPI > Learn > Tutorial-User Guide > Form Models

from typing import Annotated

from fastapi import FastAPI, Form
from pydantic import BaseModel

app = FastAPI()


class FormData(BaseModel):
    username: str
    password: str


@app.post("/login/")
async def login(data: Annotated[FormData, Form()]):
    return data

When I test it by accessing http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs, the form doesn't appear; instead, it shows a JSON example. enter image description here

If I input data using JSON format, I get the following error: 422 Unprocessable Entity.

What steps am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • As @MatsLindh said, when I upgrade to a newer version, the form will be shown correctly.
