fastapi-router-py
Helps create API routes in Python following best practices. Ensures routes have security, response models, and correct status codes.
What it does
This code helps create parts of a website or web application that handle information, ensuring it's organized and secure. It defines how data is received and sent, and who can access it.
When to use it
- ✓When building new sections for a website.
- ✓When adding login or permission features.
- ✓When organizing how data is displayed to the user.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Create a new section to manage users in my app, with secure login and a user list display.”

FastAPI Router
Create FastAPI routers following established patterns with proper authentication, response models, and HTTP status codes.
Quick Start
Copy the template from assets/template.py and replace placeholders:
{{ResourceName}}→ PascalCase name (e.g.,Project){{resource_name}}→ snake_case name (e.g.,project){{resource_plural}}→ plural form (e.g.,projects)
Authentication Patterns
# Optional auth - returns None if not authenticated
current_user: Optional[User] = Depends(get_current_user)
# Required auth - raises 401 if not authenticated
current_user: User = Depends(get_current_user_required)
Response Models
@router.get("/items/{item_id}", response_model=Item)
async def get_item(item_id: str) -> Item:
...
@router.get("/items", response_model=list[Item])
async def list_items() -> list[Item]:
...
HTTP Status Codes
@router.post("/items", status_code=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
@router.delete("/items/{id}", status_code=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)
Integration Steps
- Create router in
src/backend/app/routers/ - Mount in
src/backend/app/main.py - Create corresponding Pydantic models
- Create service layer if needed
- Add frontend API functions

FAQ
What are 'routers'?
They are like divisions in a building, where each floor or room has a specific function. In code, they organize the different parts of a web application.
What is 'authentication'?
It's the process of verifying if a user is who they claim to be, like logging in with a username and password.
What are 'response models'?
They are like forms that define the appearance and data that will be sent back to the user, ensuring consistency.
