SQLAlchemy for asyncio context

from core.db import Transactional, session


@Transactional()
async def create_user(self):
    session.add(User(email="[email protected]"))

Do not use explicit commit(). Transactional class automatically do.

Standalone session

According to the current settings, the session is set through middleware.

However, it doesn't go through middleware in tests or background tasks.

So you need to use the @standalone_session decorator.

from core.db import standalone_session


@standalone_session
def test_something():
    ...

Multiple databases

Go to core/config.py and edit WRITER_DB_URL and READER_DB_URL in the config class.

If you need additional logic to use the database, refer to the get_bind() method of RoutingClass.

Custom user for authentication

from fastapi import Request


@home_router.get("/")
def home(request: Request):
    return request.user.id

Note. you have to pass jwt token via header like Authorization: Bearer 1234

Custom user class automatically decodes header token and store user information into request.user

If you want to modify custom user class, you have to update below files.

1. core/fastapi/schemas/current_user.py
2. core/fastapi/middlewares/authentication.py

CurrentUser

class CurrentUser(BaseModel):
    id: int = Field(None, description="ID")

Simply add more fields based on your needs.

AuthBackend

current_user = CurrentUser()

After line 18, assign values that you added on CurrentUser.

Top-level dependency

Note. Available from version 0.62 or higher.

Set a callable function when initialize FastAPI() app through dependencies argument.

Refer Logging class inside of core/fastapi/dependencies/logging.py

Dependencies for specific permissions

Permissions IsAdmin, IsAuthenticated, AllowAll have already been implemented.

from core.fastapi.dependencies import (
    PermissionDependency,
    IsAdmin,
)


user_router = APIRouter()


@user_router.get(
    "",
    response_model=List[GetUserListResponseSchema],
    response_model_exclude={"id"},
    responses={"400": {"model": ExceptionResponseSchema}},
    dependencies=[Depends(PermissionDependency([IsAdmin]))],  # HERE
)
async def get_user_list(
    limit: int = Query(10, description="Limit"),
    prev: int = Query(None, description="Prev ID"),
):
    pass

Insert permission through dependencies argument.

If you want to make your own permission, inherit BasePermission and implement has_permission() function.

Note. In order to use swagger's authorize function, you must put PermissionDependency as an argument of dependencies.

Event dispatcher

Refer the README of https://github.com/teamhide/fastapi-event

Cache

Caching by prefix

from core.helpers.cache import Cache


@Cache.cached(prefix="get_user", ttl=60)
async def get_user():
    ...

Caching by tag

from core.helpers.cache import Cache, CacheTag


@Cache.cached(tag=CacheTag.GET_USER_LIST, ttl=60)
async def get_user():
    ...

Use the Cache decorator to cache the return value of a function.

Depending on the argument of the function, caching is stored with a different value through internal processing.

Custom Key builder

from core.helpers.cache.base import BaseKeyMaker


class CustomKeyMaker(BaseKeyMaker):
    async def make(self, function: Callable, prefix: str) -> str:
        ...

If you want to create a custom key, inherit the BaseKeyMaker class and implement the make() method.

Custom Backend

from core.helpers.cache.base import BaseBackend


class RedisBackend(BaseBackend):
    async def get(self, key: str) -> Any:
        ...

    async def set(self, response: Any, key: str, ttl: int = 60) -> None:
        ...

    async def delete_startswith(self, value: str) -> None:
        ...

If you want to create a custom key, inherit the BaseBackend class and implement the get(), set(), delete_startswith() method.

Pass your custom backend or keymaker as an argument to init. (/app/server.py)

def init_cache() -> None:
    Cache.init(backend=RedisBackend(), key_maker=CustomKeyMaker())

Remove all cache by prefix/tag

from core.helpers.cache import Cache, CacheTag


await Cache.remove_by_prefix(prefix="get_user_list")
await Cache.remove_by_tag(tag=CacheTag.GET_USER_LIST)
