{} return await pagination.paginate( serializer_class=SomeSerializer, **filter_kwargs ) Subclass this pagination to define custom default & maximum values for offset & limit: .. code-block:: python class CustomPagination(Pagination): default_offset = 90 default_limit = 1 max_offset = 100 max_limit = 2000 To use State Request ID Middleware: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.common.middlewares import StateRequestIDMiddleware app = FastAPI() @app.on_event('startup') async def startup(): app.add_middleware(StateRequestIDMiddleware) To use Authentication Middleware: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.auth.backends import AuthBackend from fastapi_contrib.auth.middlewares import AuthenticationMiddleware app = FastAPI() @app.on_event('startup') async def startup(): app.add_middleware(AuthenticationMiddleware, backend=AuthBackend()) Define & use custom permissions based on FastAPI Dependency framework: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.permissions import BasePermission, PermissionsDependency class TeapotUserAgentPermission(BasePermission): def has_required_permissions(self, request: Request) -> bool: return request.headers.get('User-Agent') == "Teapot v1.0" app = FastAPI() @app.get( "/teapot/", dependencies=[Depends( PermissionsDependency([TeapotUserAgentPermission]))] ) async def teapot() -> dict: return {"teapot": True} Setup uniform exception-handling: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.exception_handlers import setup_exception_handlers app = FastAPI() @app.on_event('startup') async def startup(): setup_exception_handlers(app) If you want to correctly handle scenario when request is an empty body (IMPORTANT: non-multipart): .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.routes import ValidationErrorLoggingRoute app = FastAPI() app.router.route_class = ValidationErrorLoggingRoute Or if you use multiple routes for handling different namespaces (IMPORTANT: non-multipart): .. code-block:: python from fastapi import APIRouter, FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.routes import ValidationErrorLoggingRoute app = FastAPI() my_router = APIRouter(route_class=ValidationErrorLoggingRoute) To correctly show slashes in fields with URLs + ascii locking: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.common.responses import UJSONResponse app = FastAPI() @app.get("/", response_class=UJSONResponse) async def root(): return {"a": "b"} Or specify it as default response class for the whole app (FastAPI >= 0.39.0): .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.common.responses import UJSONResponse app = FastAPI(default_response_class=UJSONResponse) To setup Jaeger tracer and enable Middleware that captures every request in opentracing span: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.tracing.middlewares import OpentracingMiddleware app = FastAPI() @app.on_event('startup') async def startup(): setup_opentracing(app) app.add_middleware(AuthenticationMiddleware) To setup mongodb connection at startup and never worry about it again: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.db.utils import setup_mongodb app = FastAPI() @app.on_event('startup') async def startup(): setup_mongodb(app) Use models to map data to MongoDB: .. code-block:: python from fastapi_contrib.db.models import MongoDBModel class MyModel(MongoDBModel): additional_field1: str optional_field2: int = 42 class Meta: collection = "mymodel_collection" mymodel = MyModel(additional_field1="value") mymodel.save() assert mymodel.additional_field1 == "value" assert mymodel.optional_field2 == 42 assert isinstance(mymodel.id, int) Or use TimeStamped model with creation datetime: .. code-block:: python from fastapi_contrib.db.models import MongoDBTimeStampedModel class MyTimeStampedModel(MongoDBTimeStampedModel): class Meta: collection = "timestamped_collection" mymodel = MyTimeStampedModel() mymodel.save() assert isinstance(mymodel.id, int) assert isinstance(mymodel.created, datetime) Use serializers and their response models to correctly show Schemas and convert from JSON/dict to models and back: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.db.models import MongoDBModel from fastapi_contrib.serializers import openapi from fastapi_contrib.serializers.common import Serializer from yourapp.models import SomeModel app = FastAPI() class SomeModel(MongoDBModel): field1: str @openapi.patch class SomeSerializer(Serializer): read_only1: str = "const" write_only2: int not_visible: str = "42" class Meta: model = SomeModel exclude = {"not_visible"} write_only_fields = {"write_only2"} read_only_fields = {"read_only1"} @app.get("/", response_model=SomeSerializer.response_model) async def root(serializer: SomeSerializer): model_instance = await serializer.save() return model_instance.dict() POST-ing to this route following JSON: .. code-block:: json {"read_only1": "a", "write_only2": 123, "field1": "b"} Should return following response: .. code-block:: json {"id": 1, "field1": "b", "read_only1": "const"} Auto-creation of MongoDB indexes ---------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose we have this directory structure: .. code-block:: console -- project_root/ -- apps/ -- app1/ -- models.py (with MongoDBModel inside with indices declared) -- app2/ -- models.py (with MongoDBModel inside with indices declared) Based on this, your name of the folder with all the apps would be "apps". This is the default name for fastapi_contrib package to pick up your structure automatically. You can change that by setting ENV variable `CONTRIB_APPS_FOLDER_NAME` (by the way, all the setting of this package are overridable via ENV vars with `CONTRIB_` prefix before them). You also need to tell fastapi_contrib which apps to look into for your models. This is controlled by `CONTRIB_APPS` ENV variable, which is list of str names of the apps with models. In the example above, this would be `CONTRIB_APPS=["app1","app2"]`. Just use create_indexes function after setting up mongodb: .. code-block:: python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi_contrib.db.utils import setup_mongodb, create_indexes app = FastAPI() @app.on_event("startup") async def startup(): setup_mongodb(app) await create_indexes() This will scan all the specified `CONTRIB_APPS` in the `CONTRIB_APPS_FOLDER_NAME` for models, that are subclassed from either MongoDBModel or MongoDBTimeStampedModel and create indices for any of them that has Meta class with indexes attribute: models.py: .. code-block:: python import pymongo from fastapi_contrib.db.models import MongoDBTimeStampedModel class MyModel(MongoDBTimeStampedModel): class Meta: collection = "mymodel" indexes = [ pymongo.IndexModel(...), pymongo.IndexModel(...), ] This would not create duplicate indices because it relies on pymongo and motor to do all the job.
