What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a comprehensive guide and best practices for building backend APIs using FastAPI, a modern, fast (high-performance) web framework for Python. It addresses the complexities of API development, from basic routing to advanced features like authentication and asynchronous operations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Project Setup: Offers a recommended directory structure for maintainable FastAPI applications.
- API Design & Implementation: Covers routing, request/response models using Pydantic, dependency injection, and error handling.
- Advanced Features: Includes guidance on authentication, authorization, structured logging, asynchronous programming, and ORM integration.
- Use Case: Develop a RESTful API for a web application, ensuring secure user authentication, efficient data handling, and clear error responses.
Quick Start
Use the fastapi-backend skill to generate a basic FastAPI project structure and implement a user registration endpoint.
