## Organize your API endpoints
`fastapi-controllers` offers a simple solution for organizing your API endpoints by means of a `Controller` class embracing the concept of class-based views.
## Features
- class-based approach to organizing FastAPI endpoints
- class-scoped definition of APIRouter parameters
- instance-scoped definition of FastAPI dependencies
- it integrates seamlessly with the FastAPI framework
- works with both sync and async endpoints
## Installation
```sh
pip install fastapi-controllers
```
## Minimal working example
```python
import uvicorn
from fastapi import FastAPI, Response, status
from fastapi.websockets import WebSocket
from fastapi_controllers import Controller, get, websocket
class ExampleController(Controller):
@get("/example", response_class=Response)
async def get_example(self) -> Response:
return Response(status_code=status.HTTP_200_OK)
@websocket("/ws")
async def ws_example(websocket: WebSocket) -> None:
await websocket.accept()
while True:
data = await websocket.receive_text()
await websocket.send_text(f"Received: {data}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = FastAPI()
app.include_router(ExampleController.create_router())
uvicorn.run(app)
```
FastAPI's `APIRouter` is created and populated with API routes by the `Controller.create_router` method and can be incorporated into the application in the usual way via `app.include_router`.
## Seamless integration
The router-related parameters as well as those of HTTP request-specific and websocket decorators are expected to be the same as those used by `fastapi.APIRouter`, `fastapi.APIRouter.<request_method>` and `fastapi.APIRouter.websocket`. Validation of the provided parameters is performed during initialization via the `inspect` module. This ensures compatibility with the FastAPI framework and prevents the introduction of a new, unnecessary naming convention.
### Available decorators
```python
from fastapi_controllers import delete, get, head, options, patch, post, put, trace, websocket
```
## Use class variables to customize your APIRouter
Class variables can be used to set the commonly used APIRouter parameters: `prefix`, `dependencies` and `tags`.
```python
import uvicorn
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI, Response, status
from fastapi.security import HTTPBasic, HTTPBasicCredentials
from pydantic import BaseModel
from fastapi_controllers import Controller, get, post
security = HTTPBasic()
async def authorized_user(credentials: HTTPBasicCredentials = Depends(security)) -> None:
...
class ExampleRequest(BaseModel):
name: str
class ExampleResponse(BaseModel):
message: str
class ExampleController(Controller):
prefix = "/example"
tags = ["example"]
dependencies = [Depends(authorized_user)]
@get("", response_class=Response)
async def get_example(self) -> Response:
return Response(status_code=status.HTTP_200_OK)
@post("", response_model=ExampleResponse)
async def post_example(self, data: ExampleRequest) -> ExampleResponse:
return ExampleResponse(message=f"Hello, {data.name}!")
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = FastAPI()
app.include_router(ExampleController.create_router())
uvicorn.run(app)
```
### Additional APIRouter parameters
Additional APIRouter parameters can be provided via the `__router_params__` class variable in form of a mapping.
```python
import uvicorn
from fastapi import FastAPI, Response, status
from fastapi_controllers import Controller, get
class ExampleController(Controller):
prefix = "/example"
tags = ["example"]
__router_params__ = {"deprecated": True}
@get("", response_class=Response)
async def get_example(self) -> Response:
return Response(status_code=status.HTTP_200_OK)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = FastAPI()
app.include_router(ExampleController.create_router())
uvicorn.run(app)
```
> :warning: **Important**: Beware of assigning values to the same parameter twice (directly on class-level and through `__router_params__`). The values stored in `__router_params__` have precedence and will override your other settings if a name conflict arises. E.g. the following `Controller` would create an `APIRouter` with `prefix=/override`, `tags=["override"]` and `dependencies=[Depends(override)]`
```python
from fastapi import Depends
from fastapi_controllers import Controller
class ExampleController(Controller):
prefix = "/example"
tags = ["example"]
dependencies = [Depends(example)]
__router_params__ = {
"prefix": "/override",
"tags": ["override"],
"dependencies": [Depends(override)],
}
```
## Instance-scoped dependencies
Instance-scoped attributes can be defined in the `__init__` method of the `Controller` and offer an easy way to access common dependencies for all endpoints.
```python
import json
import uvicorn
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI, Response, status
from fastapi_controllers import Controller, get
class DbSession:
@property
def status(self) -> str:
return "CONNECTED"
async def get_db_session() -> DbSession:
return DbSession()
class ExampleController(Controller):
prefix = "/example"
def __init__(self, session: DbSession = Depends(get_db_session)) -> None:
self.session = session
@get("", response_class=Response)
async def get_status(self) -> Response:
return Response(
content=json.dumps({"status": f"{self.session.status}"}),
status_code=status.HTTP_200_OK,
media_type="application/json",
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = FastAPI()
app.include_router(ExampleController.create_router())
uvicorn.run(app)
```
