BetterCRUD is a library that can quickly generate CRUD routes for you without any intrusion to your code. You can still control everything. When you are troubled by a large number of repeated CRUD routes, I believe it can help you, saving you a lot of time and allowing you to focus more on business logic.

BetterCRUD is reliable, fully tested, and used in project production environments.

BetterCRUD is a way to dynamically generate routes by combining your model with the crud decorator,I believe bring you a different development experience

You only need to configure some crud options and define your model to produce powerful CRUD functions

@crud(
    router,
    dto={
        "create": PetCreate,
        "update": PetUpdate
    },
    serialize={
        "base": PetPublic,
    },
    **other_options
)
class PetController():
    service: PetService = Depends(PetService)

Requirements

• Python: Version 3.9 or newer.
• FastAPI: BetterCRUD is built to work with FastAPI, so having FastAPI in your project is essential.
• SQLAlchemy: Version 2.0.30 or newer. BetterCRUD uses SQLAlchemy for database operations.
• Pydantic: Version 2.7.3 or newer. BetterCRUD leverages Pydantic models for data validation and serialization.

Installation

pip install better-crud

Features

• Fully Async, Synchronization is not supported
• Less boilerplate code
• Configuring static type support
• More flexible custom configuration，Less invasive
• Compatible with both class views and functional views
• Rich filter, pagination, and sorting support
• Automated relationship support, query and storage
• Extensible custom backend

Default Routes

Route	Method	Description
/resource	GET	Get Many
/resource/{id}	GET	Get One
/resource	POST	Create One
/resource/bulk	POST	Create Many
/resource/{id}	PUT	Update One
/resource/{ids}/bulk	PUT	Update Many
/resource/{ids}	DELETE	Delete Many

Minimal Example

Prerequisites,Prepare our db, Only asynchronous mode is supported,aiomysql or aiosqlite db.py

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, declared_attr
from typing import AsyncGenerator
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy.pool import NullPool
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession, create_async_engine
DATABASE_URL = "sqlite+aiosqlite:///crud.db"

class MappedBase(DeclarativeBase):
    @declared_attr.directive
    def __tablename__(cls) -> str:
        return cls.__name__.lower()


class Base(MappedBase):
    __abstract__ = True


engine = create_async_engine(
    DATABASE_URL,
    echo=False,
    poolclass=NullPool
)

SessionLocal = sessionmaker(
    autocommit=False,
    autoflush=False,
    bind=engine,
    class_=AsyncSession,
    expire_on_commit=False,
)


async def get_session() -> AsyncGenerator[AsyncSession, None]:
    async with SessionLocal() as session:
        yield session


async def init_db():
    async with engine.begin() as conn:
        await conn.run_sync(MappedBase.metadata.create_all)

First Define Your Model And Schema

model.py

from sqlalchemy import String, Integer, ForeignKey
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, mapped_column
from .db import Base


class Pet(Base):
    __tablename__ = "pet"
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100))
    description: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100))

schema.py

from typing import Optional, List
from pydantic import BaseModel


class PetBase(BaseModel):
    name: Optional[str] = None
    description: Optional[str] = None


class PetPublic(PetBase):
    id: int


class PetCreate(PetBase):
    pass


class PetUpdate(PetBase):
    pass

Next we need to create a service:

service.py

from better_crud.service.sqlalchemy import SqlalchemyCrudService
from .model import Pet


class PetService(SqlalchemyCrudService[Pet]):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(Pet)

Next we need to define the controller and decorate it with the crud decorator Sure the controller is just a normal class,The crud decorator gives it super powers controller.py

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends
from better_crud import crud
from .schema import PetCreate, PetUpdate, PetPublic
from .service import PetService

pet_router = APIRouter()


@crud(
    pet_router,
    dto={
        "create": PetCreate,
        "update": PetUpdate
    },
    serialize={
        "base": PetPublic,
    }
)
class PetController():
    service: PetService = Depends(PetService)

Next we can register router to the fastapi routing system

main.py

from better_crud import BetterCrudGlobalConfig
from fastapi import FastAPI
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from .db import get_session, init_db

BetterCrudGlobalConfig.init(
    backend_config={
        "sqlalchemy": {
            "db_session": get_session
        }
    }
)


@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(_: FastAPI):
    await init_db()
    # Shutdown
    yield

app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)


def register_router():
    from app.controller import pet_router
    app.include_router(pet_router, prefix="/pet")


register_router()

Congratulations, your first CRUD route has been created！
