python-fastapi-conventions

What problem does it solve?

Inconsistent project structure, routing, data validation, and error handling in FastAPI applications can lead to unmaintainable code and debugging challenges. This skill provides standardized patterns for robust backend implementations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project Structure: Defines a standard directory layout for FastAPI projects (main.py, routers/, models/, schemas/).
• Pydantic Models & Schemas: Guides on using Pydantic for data validation and schemas/ for request/response DTOs.
• Error Handling: Implements standard error handling with HTTPException(status_code, detail).
• Use Case: When developing a new FastAPI service, use this skill to ensure consistent routing, Pydantic model definitions, and error handling, promoting maintainability, collaboration, and reducing the learning curve for new team members.

Quick Start
