FastAPI / Modern Python API
When to use this skill
- •Building high-performance APIs with FastAPI.
- •Defining Pydantic models.
- •Structuring API projects.
1. Structure
- •Routers: Split routes into modules (
app/routers/users.py) and include them inmain.py. - •Dependencies: Use Dependency Injection (
Depends()) for DB sessions, auth, and shared logic.
2. Pydantic Models
- •Separation: Create separate models for Input (
UserCreate), Output (UserResponse), and Database (UserDB). - •Validation: Use strict Types and
Field(...)for validation metadata.
3. Async
- •Def vs Async Def: Use
async deffor endpoints that await I/O (DB, HTTP). Usedefonly if blocking CPU.
