Is it possible to display an HTML file at the endpoint?
For example the home page then the user is visiting "/"?

Yes, it's possible FastAPI has HTMLResponse.
You can return a HTMLResponse
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/", response_class=HTMLResponse)
async def read_items():
html_content = """
<html>
<head>
<title>Some HTML in here</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Look ma! HTML!</h1>
</body>
</html>
"""
return HTMLResponse(content=html_content, status_code=200)
You can also render templates with Jinja2
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles
from fastapi.templating import Jinja2Templates
app = FastAPI()
app.mount("/static", StaticFiles(directory="static"), name="static")
templates = Jinja2Templates(directory="templates")
@app.get("/items/{id}", response_class=HTMLResponse)
async def read_item(request: Request, id: str):
return templates.TemplateResponse("item.html", {"request": request, "id": id}

Does this mean, we can use FastAPI to run a full fledged website?
