About This Skill

FastAPI App Builder generates modern async Python APIs using FastAPI's full feature set. It produces structured, typed code that leverages Python's type hints for automatic validation and documentation.

Project Structure

Follows the domain-based layout: `app/api/` for route handlers, `app/core/` for config and security, `app/models/` for SQLAlchemy ORM models, `app/schemas/` for Pydantic schemas, and `app/services/` for business logic.

Pydantic v2 Models

Generates separate Request, Response, and DB schemas with model_config for strict validation. Field validators and model_validators handle complex business rules. Computed fields derive values without storing them.

Async SQLAlchemy

Uses SQLAlchemy 2.0 async engine with asyncpg (PostgreSQL) or aiosqlite. Repository pattern wraps sessions. Alembic auto-generates migrations from model changes with `--autogenerate`.

Dependency Injection

FastAPI's Depends() system is used for database sessions, current user resolution, permission checking, and rate limiting. Dependencies are composable and testable with override_dependencies in tests.

Background Tasks

Integrates Celery with Redis broker for heavy background work, or uses FastAPI's built-in BackgroundTasks for lightweight post-response operations.

Use Cases

  • Building async REST APIs with automatic OpenAPI schema generation
  • Creating Pydantic v2 request/response models with strict validation
  • Setting up SQLAlchemy 2.0 async sessions with Alembic migrations
  • Implementing OAuth2 password flow with dependency-injected auth

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • + Auto-generates OpenAPI docs and interactive Swagger UI with zero config
  • + Full async support for high-throughput IO-bound workloads
  • + Pydantic v2 validation is 5-50x faster than v1
  • + Dependency injection makes unit testing individual components easy

Cons

  • - Async SQLAlchemy adds complexity compared to synchronous ORMs
  • - Alembic autogenerate misses some schema changes (indexes, constraints)
