A set of examples on how to call the OpenFGA Python SDK

Example 1: A bare-bones example. It creates a store, and runs a set of calls against it including creating a model, writing tuples and checking for access.

Prerequisites:

• docker
• make
• python 3.11+

Steps:

1. Clone/Copy the example folder
2. If you have an OpenFGA server running, you can use it, otherwise run make run-openfga to spin up an instance (you'll need to switch to a different terminal after - don't forget to close it when done)
3. Run make run to run the example

Steps:

1. Build the SDK
2. Change to the example directory
3. Install the local SDK pip install -e $LOCAL_DIR
   • For example, if your local SDK is located at $HOME/projects/python-sdk, run pip install -e $HOME/projects/python-sdk
   • For advanced users: The above just updates requirements.txt and the source of openfga-sdk. If you know how to manually edit this, feel free to do that as well.
4. If you have an OpenFGA server running, you can use it, otherwise run make run-openfga to spin up an instance (you'll need to switch to a different terminal after - don't forget to close it when done)
5. Run make run to run the example
