SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up a new FastAPI backend from scratch involves many architectural decisions—project layout, async database sessions, dependency injection, authentication, and testing—that are easy to get wrong and slow to scaffold manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Layered Project Structure: Provides a recommended layout separating API routes, core config, models, schemas, services, and repositories. - Async Patterns & Dependency Injection: Covers async route handlers, SQLAlchemy async sessions, and FastAPI's Depends-based DI for database and auth. - Worked Implementation Patterns: Includes complete examples for CRUD repositories, service layers, JWT authentication, and pytest async test fixtures. - Use Case: When starting a new microservice, ask for a FastAPI project scaffold and receive a structured codebase with user CRUD endpoints, JWT auth, and an async test suite. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to scaffold a new FastAPI project with async SQLAlchemy, JWT authentication, and a pytest test setup using this skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about fastapi-templates

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a FastAPI project for production?▼

Use a layered layout separating api routes, core config, models, schemas, services, and repositories. This skill provides that structure with an app/ directory containing api/v1 endpoints, core database and security modules, and a main.py entry point.

How to implement dependency injection in FastAPI?▼

FastAPI's built-in Depends system injects database sessions, authentication, and configuration into route handlers. The skill demonstrates a get_db dependency yielding async SQLAlchemy sessions and a get_current_user dependency for JWT-authenticated requests.

How do I test async FastAPI endpoints with pytest?▼

Use pytest-asyncio with httpx AsyncClient and override the get_db dependency to point at an in-memory SQLite database via aiosqlite. The skill includes conftest.py fixtures for event loops, database sessions, and test clients.

Does FastAPI support async database operations with SQLAlchemy?▼

Yes, SQLAlchemy's async engine and AsyncSession work natively with FastAPI async route handlers. The skill shows create_async_engine setup, session lifecycle management with commit and rollback, and a generic async CRUD repository.

How do I add JWT authentication to a FastAPI API?▼

Create access tokens with python-jose using HS256, hash passwords with passlib bcrypt, and protect routes with an OAuth2PasswordBearer dependency. The skill provides complete security.py and dependencies.py implementations.
