How to reload FastAPI app when a file, other than *.py files, changes?

I want my FastAPI app to reload when a .csv file in the same directory changes.

I tried the following command, but it isn't working.

uvicorn main:app --reload --reload-include *.csv

Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

According to Uvicorn Documentation, --reload-include does work only if optional dependency Watchfiles (previously called watchgod) is installed.

Try installing it with pip install watchfiles and then run uvicorn again

As per Uvicorn documentation, you can install watchfiles, and use --reload-include, as well as --reload-exclude, to specify other file extensions. For example:

uvicorn main:app --reload --reload-include *.csv
