Convert a function into a basic web endpoint by wrapping it with a FastAPI App.

Modal will internally use [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) to expose a
simple, single request handler. If you are defining your own `FastAPI` application
(e.g. if you want to define multiple routes), use `@modal.asgi_app` instead.

The endpoint created with this decorator will automatically have
[CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) enabled
and can leverage many of FastAPI's features.

For more information on using Modal with popular web frameworks, see our
[guide on web endpoints](https://modal.com/docs/guide/webhooks).

*Added in v0.73.82*: This function replaces the deprecated `@web_endpoint` decorator.
