FastAPI Patterns

Modern async API development with FastAPI.

Basic Application

python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
"""Application lifespan - startup and shutdown."""
# Startup
app.state.db = await create_db_pool()
yield
# Shutdown
await app.state.db.close()
app = FastAPI(
title="My API",
version="1.0.0",
lifespan=lifespan,
)
@app.get("/")
async def root():
return {"message": "Hello World"}

Request/Response Models

python
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, EmailStr
from datetime import datetime
class UserCreate(BaseModel):
"""Request model with validation."""
name: str = Field(..., min_length=1, max_length=100)
email: EmailStr
age: int = Field(..., ge=0, le=150)
class UserResponse(BaseModel):
"""Response model."""
id: int
name: str
email: EmailStr
created_at: datetime
model_config = {"from_attributes": True} # Enable ORM mode
@app.post("/users", response_model=UserResponse, status_code=201)
async def create_user(user: UserCreate):
db_user = await create_user_in_db(user)
return db_user

Path and Query Parameters

python
from fastapi import Query, Path
from typing import Annotated
@app.get("/users/{user_id}")
async def get_user(
user_id: Annotated[int, Path(..., ge=1, description="User ID")],
):
return await fetch_user(user_id)
@app.get("/users")
async def list_users(
skip: Annotated[int, Query(ge=0)] = 0,
limit: Annotated[int, Query(ge=1, le=100)] = 10,
search: str | None = None,
):
return await fetch_users(skip=skip, limit=limit, search=search)

Dependency Injection

python
from fastapi import Depends
from typing import Annotated
async def get_db():
"""Database session dependency."""
async with async_session() as session:
yield session
async def get_current_user(
token: Annotated[str, Depends(oauth2_scheme)],
db: Annotated[AsyncSession, Depends(get_db)],
) -> User:
"""Authenticate and return current user."""
user = await authenticate_token(db, token)
if not user:
raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid token")
return user
# Annotated types for reuse
DB = Annotated[AsyncSession, Depends(get_db)]
CurrentUser = Annotated[User, Depends(get_current_user)]
@app.get("/me")
async def get_me(user: CurrentUser):
return user

Exception Handling

python
from fastapi import HTTPException
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
# Built-in HTTP exceptions
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def get_item(item_id: int):
item = await fetch_item(item_id)
if not item:
raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="Item not found")
return item
# Custom exception handler
class ItemNotFoundError(Exception):
def __init__(self, item_id: int):
self.item_id = item_id
@app.exception_handler(ItemNotFoundError)
async def item_not_found_handler(request, exc: ItemNotFoundError):
return JSONResponse(
status_code=404,
content={"detail": f"Item {exc.item_id} not found"},
)

Router Organization

python
from fastapi import APIRouter
# users.py
router = APIRouter(prefix="/users", tags=["users"])
@router.get("/")
async def list_users():
return []
@router.get("/{user_id}")
async def get_user(user_id: int):
return {"id": user_id}
# main.py
from app.routers import users, items
app.include_router(users.router)
app.include_router(items.router, prefix="/api/v1")
