fastapi-fullauth 0.3.0

Production-grade, async-native authentication and authorization library for FastAPI

fastapi-fullauth

Async auth library for FastAPI. Handles JWT tokens, refresh rotation, password hashing, email verification, and role-based access out of the box.

Install

pip install fastapi-fullauth
# with an ORM adapter:
pip install fastapi-fullauth[sqlmodel]
pip install fastapi-fullauth[sqlalchemy]
# with redis for token blacklisting:
pip install fastapi-fullauth[sqlmodel,redis]

Quick start

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_fullauth import FullAuth
from fastapi_fullauth.adapters.memory import InMemoryAdapter

app = FastAPI()

fullauth = FullAuth(
    secret_key="your-secret-key",
    adapter=InMemoryAdapter(),
)
fullauth.init_app(app)

This gives you /auth/me, /auth/register, /auth/login, /auth/logout, /auth/refresh, /auth/change-password, /auth/password-reset/*, /auth/verify-email/*, and admin role management endpoints — all under /api/v1 by default.

Omit secret_key in dev and a random one is generated (tokens won't survive restarts).

Custom user fields

Just define your model — schemas are auto-derived:

from fastapi_fullauth.adapters.sqlmodel import UserBase, Role, UserRoleLink, RefreshTokenRecord, SQLModelAdapter
from sqlmodel import Field, Relationship

class MyUser(UserBase, table=True):
    __tablename__ = "fullauth_users"

    display_name: str = Field(default="", max_length=100)
    phone: str = Field(default="", max_length=20)

    roles: list[Role] = Relationship(link_model=UserRoleLink)
    refresh_tokens: list[RefreshTokenRecord] = Relationship()

fullauth = FullAuth(
    secret_key="...",
    adapter=SQLModelAdapter(session_maker, user_model=MyUser),
)

No need to create separate schema classes or subclass the adapter. Registration and response schemas pick up display_name and phone automatically. You can still pass explicit user_schema / create_user_schema if you want full control.

Protected routes

Use the Annotated types for clean route signatures:

from fastapi_fullauth.dependencies import CurrentUser, VerifiedUser, SuperUser, require_role

@app.get("/profile")
async def profile(user: CurrentUser):
    return user

@app.get("/dashboard")
async def dashboard(user: VerifiedUser):
    # only email-verified users
    return {"email": user.email}

@app.delete("/admin/users/{id}")
async def delete_user(user: SuperUser):
    # only superusers
    ...

# or use require_role for custom roles
from fastapi import Depends
from fastapi_fullauth.dependencies import require_role

@app.get("/editor")
async def editor_panel(user=Depends(require_role("editor"))):
    ...

Configuration

Pass inline kwargs or a full config object:

# inline
fullauth = FullAuth(
    secret_key="...",
    adapter=adapter,
    api_prefix="/api/v2",
    access_token_expire_minutes=60,
)

# or use FullAuthConfig for everything
from fastapi_fullauth import FullAuthConfig
fullauth = FullAuth(config=FullAuthConfig(SECRET_KEY="..."), adapter=adapter)

Config also reads env vars with FULLAUTH_ prefix.

Redis blacklist

fullauth = FullAuth(
    secret_key="...",
    adapter=adapter,
    blacklist_backend="redis",
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379/0",
)

Refresh token security

Refresh tokens are stored in DB with family tracking. If a revoked token is replayed (possible theft), the entire token family gets revoked. Disable rotation with REFRESH_TOKEN_ROTATION=False.

Event hooks

async def welcome(user):
    await send_email(user.email, "Welcome!")

fullauth.hooks.on("after_register", welcome)

Events: after_register, after_login, after_logout, after_password_change, after_password_reset, after_email_verify, send_verification_email, send_password_reset_email

Custom token claims

Embed app-specific data into JWTs (available in payload.extra):

async def add_claims(user):
    return {"tenant_id": "acme", "plan": "pro"}

fullauth = FullAuth(
    secret_key="...",
    adapter=adapter,
    on_create_token_claims=add_claims,
)

Reserved keys (sub, exp, iat, jti, type, roles, extra, family_id) are rejected to prevent accidental overwrites.

Password hashing

Argon2id by default. Switch to bcrypt via config:

fullauth = FullAuth(
    secret_key="...",
    adapter=adapter,
    password_hash_algorithm="bcrypt",  # requires: pip install bcrypt
)

When switching algorithms, existing users are transparently rehashed on their next login.

Route control

fullauth = FullAuth(
    secret_key="...",
    adapter=adapter,
    enabled_routes=["login", "logout", "refresh"],
)

Middleware

SecurityHeaders, CSRF, and rate limiting are auto-wired from config flags. Pass auto_middleware=False to init_app() to handle it yourself.

Auth rate limiting

Login, register, and password-reset have per-IP rate limits enabled by default (5/3/3 per minute). Configure via AUTH_RATE_LIMIT_* settings.

Login field

By default, login uses email. Change it to any field on your user model:

# username login: POST /login {"username": "john", "password": "..."}
fullauth = FullAuth(secret_key="...", adapter=adapter, login_field="username")

# phone login: POST /login {"phone": "[phone]", "password": "..."}
fullauth = FullAuth(secret_key="...", adapter=adapter, login_field="phone")

The Swagger UI and request body update automatically. The adapter looks up users by that field.
