fastapi-filters

Introduction

fastapi-filters is a library that provides filtering/sorting feature for FastAPI applications.

---

Installation

pip install fastapi-filters

Quickstart

To create filters you need either define them manually using create_filters function or automatically generate them based on model using create_filters_from_model function.

from typing import List

from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

# import all you need from fastapi-filters
from fastapi_filters import create_filters, create_filters_from_model, FilterValues

app = FastAPI()  # create FastAPI app


class UserOut(BaseModel):  # define your model
    name: str = Field(..., example="Steve")
    surname: str = Field(..., example="Rogers")
    age: int = Field(..., example=102)


@app.get("/users")
async def get_users_manual_filters(
    # manually define filters
    filters: FilterValues = Depends(create_filters(name=str, surname=str, age=int)),
) -> List[UserOut]:
    pass


@app.get("/users")
async def get_users_auto_filters(
    # or automatically generate filters from pydantic model
    filters: FilterValues = Depends(create_filters_from_model(UserOut)),
) -> List[UserOut]:
    pass

Currently, fastapi-filters supports SQLAlchemy integration.

from fastapi_filters.ext.sqlalchemy import apply_filters


@app.get("/users")
async def get_users(
    db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),
    filters: FilterValues = Depends(create_filters_from_model(UserOut)),
) -> List[UserOut]:
    query = apply_filters(select(UserOut), filters)
    return (await db.scalars(query)).all()
