How to change the base path?

[danielniccoli]

Litestar is the root level of the app - it has the base path of / and all root level Controllers, Routers and Route Handlers should be registered on it.

https://docs.litestar.dev/2/reference/app.html#litestar.app.Litestar

How can I change the base path from / to /api/? This should not affect /schema. I would like to avoid adding /api/ to every handler.

Just add your route handlers to a Router instead of to Litestar directly. Then you can change the base path there for everything except the /schema:

api_router = Router(path="/api", route_handlers=...)
app = Litestar(route_handlers=[api_router])

The litestar app object accepts path as of 2.8.
