Updates the load-balanced endpoint example in the "Create endpoints" docs to include the dependencies parameter. This confirms that dependencies work with the variable assignment pattern (api = Endpoint(...)) used for load-balanced endpoints, not just decorator patterns.

Agent Response

I've reviewed PR #252 and created a documentation suggestion.

Summary

PR #252 fixes a bug where flash build wasn't extracting dependencies from Endpoint() variable assignment patterns (used for load-balanced endpoints). Previously, dependencies were only extracted from @remote() and @Endpoint() decorator patterns.

Documentation Update

I created a suggestion that updates the load-balanced endpoint example in the "Create endpoints" documentation to include the dependencies parameter:

api = Endpoint(
    name="inference-api",
    gpu=GpuType.NVIDIA_GEFORCE_RTX_4090,
    workers=(1, 5),
    dependencies=["torch"]  # Added
)

This confirms to users that dependencies work correctly with the load-balanced endpoint pattern (api = Endpoint(...)), not just decorator patterns.

Suggestion: Add dependencies example to load-balanced endpoint pattern

• File: flash/create-endpoints.mdx
• Change: Added dependencies=["torch"] to the load-balanced endpoint example and a comment clarifying that imports should be inside the function body
