fastapi-sdk 0.7.6

Utilities for FastAPI projects.

FastAPI SDK

A powerful SDK for building FastAPI applications with built-in authentication, authorization, and CRUD operations.

Features

• 🔐 Authentication & Authorization

  • JWT-based authentication
  • Role-based access control
  • Fine-grained permissions
  • User claims management

• 🗄️ Database Operations

  • Automatic CRUD operations
  • Soft delete support
  • Pagination
  • Relationship handling

• 🛡️ Security

  • Ownership-based access control
  • Permission-based authorization
  • Role-based access control
  • Secure token handling

• 📝 Type Safety

  • Pydantic model integration
  • Type hints throughout
  • Automatic validation
  • OpenAPI documentation

Documentation

• Route Controller Documentation - Learn how to create CRUD routes with authentication and permissions
• Model Controller Documentation - Understand how to implement database operations and relationships

Quick Start

Using UV, start a new project from within the folder you wish to create it.

The project requires Python 3.13 or above.

uv init
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activaye
uv add fastapi-sdk

In order to test authentication, we need a set of asymmetric encryption keys for test access tokens. Generate the two keys using the command below:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out test_private_encrypted.pem 2048
openssl rsa -pubout -in test_private_encrypted.pem -out test_public_key.pem
openssl rsa -in test_private_encrypted.pem -out test_private_key.pem -outform PEM

This will create three keys:

• test_private_encrypted.pem (keep safe somewhere)
• test_private_key.pem
• test_public_key.pem

We will use the test_private_key.pem key to encrypt our JWT tokens and test_public_key.pem to decrypt them (asymmetric encryption).

Those test keys can added to the repository for ease of setup and running CI/CD testing.

Add the value of each key to your environment:

# .env.local
export TEST_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH="test_private_key.pem"
export TEST_PUBLIC_KEY_PATH="test_public_key.pem"

For the API to work in the real world, you will need settings for Fauthy authentication. Create a new tenant and use the client_id which will be required to get the public JWKs.

# .env.local
export AUTH_ISSUER="https://identity.piot.co.uk"
export AUTH_CLIENT_ID="test_client_id" # Replace with real client_id for production

Then some api settings:

# .env.local
export PUBLIC_ROUTES="/public/*,/other"
export ENVIRONMENT="development" # Replace with production when deploying to live server

A full .env.local complete included the MongoDB connection string:

export AUTH_PRIVATE_KEY="test_private_key.pem"
export AUTH_PUBLIC_KEY="test_public_key.pem"
export AUTH_ISSUER="https://identity.piot.co.uk"
export AUTH_CLIENT_ID="test_client_id" # Replace with real client_id for production
export PUBLIC_ROUTES="/public/*,/other"
export ENVIRONMENT="development" # Replace with production when deploying to live server
export MONGO_DATABASE_URI="mongodb://localhost:27017"
export MONGO_DATABASE_NAME="fastapi_sdk_test"
