FastAPI Development
Guidance for building APIs with FastAPI following best practices.

Core Concepts
Route Decorators
| Decorator | HTTP Method | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
@app.get() | GET | Retrieve data |
@app.post() | POST | Create resource |
@app.put() | PUT | Full update |
@app.patch() | PATCH | Partial update |
@app.delete() | DELETE | Remove resource |
Response Status Codes
| Code | Meaning | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | OK | Successful GET/PUT/PATCH |
| 201 | Created | Successful POST |
| 204 | No Content | Successful DELETE |
| 400 | Bad Request | Invalid input |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Authentication required |
| 403 | Forbidden | No permission |
| 404 | Not Found | Resource doesn't exist |
| 422 | Unprocessable | Validation failed |
---
Dependency Injection
Key concept: Dependencies are functions that FastAPI calls before your route handler. Use yield for cleanup logic.
| Pattern | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Simple function | Get config, compute values |
| Generator (yield) | Database sessions, connections |
| Class-based | Complex dependencies with state |
| Nested dependencies | Dependencies that depend on other dependencies |
Common Dependencies
| Dependency | Purpose |
|---|---|
| get_db | Database session (yield for cleanup) |
| get_current_user | Authentication + user retrieval |
| get_settings | Configuration singleton |
| rate_limiter | Request throttling |
Key concept: Use Annotated[Type, Depends(func)] for cleaner type hints and reusability.
---
Pydantic Models
Model Patterns
| Pattern | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Base model | Shared fields |
| Create model | Input for POST (no id) |
| Update model | Partial updates (all Optional) |
| Response model | Output (includes id, timestamps) |
| DB model | Internal with from_attributes = True |
Validation Features
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Field(...) | Required with constraints |
| Field(default=...) | Optional with default |
| field_validator | Custom validation logic |
| model_validator | Cross-field validation |
| pattern= | Regex validation |
| ge=, le= | Numeric bounds |
| min_length=, max_length= | String/list length |
---
Error Handling
| Approach | Use Case |
|---|---|
| HTTPException | Simple errors with status code |
| Custom exception class | Structured error responses |
| @app.exception_handler | Global error handling |
| RequestValidationError | Customize validation errors |
Key concept: Create custom exception classes for consistent error response format across your API.
---
Router Organization
| Concept | Purpose |
|---|---|
| APIRouter | Group related endpoints |
| prefix | URL prefix for all routes |
| tags | OpenAPI documentation grouping |
| dependencies | Router-level dependencies |
Project Structure
| Directory | Contents |
|---|---|
| routers/ | Route handlers by domain |
| models/ | SQLAlchemy/database models |
| schemas/ | Pydantic request/response models |
| services/ | Business logic |
| dependencies.py | Shared dependencies |
| config.py | Settings and configuration |
---
Background Tasks
| Method | Use Case |
|---|---|
| BackgroundTasks | Simple async tasks (email, logging) |
| Celery | Heavy tasks, retries, scheduling |
| ARQ | Async Redis queue |
Key concept: BackgroundTasks run after response is sent—good for non-critical operations that shouldn't block the response.
---
Testing Patterns
| Client | Use Case |
|---|---|
| TestClient | Sync tests (most common) |
| AsyncClient (httpx) | Async tests, lifespan events |
Dependency Override Pattern
1. Create test version of dependency 2. Set app.dependency_overrides[original] = test_version 3. Run tests 4. Clear overrides after
Key concept: Override get_db for test database, get_current_user for auth bypass.
---
Best Practices
| Practice | Why |
|---|---|
| Use response_model | Control output, hide internal fields |
| Use dependency injection | Testable, reusable code |
| Separate schemas from DB models | Decouple API from database |
| Use routers for organization | Maintainable as API grows |
| Add OpenAPI descriptions | Self-documenting API |
| Use async for I/O | Better concurrency |
