FastAPI is a modern, fast web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+.
But if you're here, you probably already knew that!
---
## Features
This package includes a number of utilities to help reduce boilerplate and reuse common functionality across projects:
* **Class Based Views**: Stop repeating the same dependencies over and over in the signature of related endpoints.
* **Response-Model Inferring Router**: Let FastAPI infer the `response_model` to use based on your return type annotation.
* **Repeated Tasks**: Easily trigger periodic tasks on server startup
* **Timing Middleware**: Log basic timing information for every request
* **SQLAlchemy Sessions**: The `FastAPISessionMaker` class provides an easily-customized SQLAlchemy Session dependency
* **OpenAPI Spec Simplification**: Simplify your OpenAPI Operation IDs for cleaner output from OpenAPI Generator
---
It also adds a variety of more basic utilities that are useful across a wide variety of projects:
* **APIModel**: A reusable `pydantic.BaseModel`-derived base class with useful defaults
* **APISettings**: A subclass of `pydantic.BaseSettings` that makes it easy to configure FastAPI through environment variables
* **String-Valued Enums**: The `StrEnum` and `CamelStrEnum` classes make string-valued enums easier to maintain
* **CamelCase Conversions**: Convenience functions for converting strings from `snake_case` to `camelCase` or `PascalCase` and back
* **GUID Type**: The provided GUID type makes it easy to use UUIDs as the primary keys for your database tables
See the [docs](https://fastapi-utils.davidmontague.xyz/) for more details and examples.
