💭 fastapi https url_for
=======================

jinja's `url_for` in fastapi does not account for https by default, there is
probably a better way, but this is a way that allows me to configure when I use
http vs https.

``` python
@pass_context
def https_url_for(context: dict, name: str, **path_params: Any) -> str:
 """
 always convert http to https
 """
 request = context["request"]
 http_url = request.url_for(name, **path_params)
 return str(http_url).replace("http", "https", 1)

def get_templates(config: BaseSettings) -> Jinja2Templates:
 templates = Jinja2Templates(directory="templates")
 templates.env.globals["https_url_for"] = https_url_for

 ## only use the default url_for for local development, for dev, qa, and prod use https
 if os.environ.get("ENV") in ["dev", "qa", "prod"]:
 templates.env.globals["url_for"] = https_url_for
 console.print("Using HTTPS")
 else:
 console.print("Using HTTP")

 return templates
```
