Form Requests

Form Requests provide a clean, reusable way to validate incoming HTTP data — just like Laravel's FormRequest.

Defining Rules

# app/requests/store_user_request.py
from makefast.http import FormRequest
from typing import Any, Dict

class StoreUserRequest(FormRequest):

    def authorize(self) -> bool:
        # Return False to reject unauthorized requests (raises 403)
        return True

    def rules(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        return {
            "name":     ["required", "string", "min:2", "max:100"],
            "email":    ["required", "email"],
            "password": ["required", "string", "min:8", "confirmed"],
            "age":      ["nullable", "integer", "min:0"],
            "role":     ["required", "in:admin,user,guest"],
        }

Available Rules

Rule	Example	Description
required	"required"	Field must be present and non-empty
nullable	"nullable"	Field may be absent or None
string	"string"	Must be a str
integer / int	"integer"	Must be an int
numeric	"numeric"	Must be int or float
boolean	"boolean"	Must be bool
email	"email"	Must match a valid email pattern
min:<n>	"min:3"	Min length (strings) or min value (numbers)
max:<n>	"max:255"	Max length (strings) or max value (numbers)
in:<a,b,c>	"in:admin,user"	Value must be one of the listed options
not_in:<a,b,c>	"not_in:banned"	Value must NOT be one of the listed options
regex:<pattern>	"regex:^[A-Z]"	Must match the given regex pattern
confirmed	"confirmed"	Must equal {field}_confirmation in the request body

Custom Messages

def messages(self) -> Dict[str, str]:
    return {
        "name.required":  "Please tell us your name.",
        "email.email":    "Please use a valid email address.",
        "password.min":   "Password must be at least 8 characters.",
    }

Using in Routes

Use the request class as a FastAPI dependency via Depends:

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends
from app.requests.store_user_request import StoreUserRequest

router = APIRouter()

@router.post("/users")
async def store(req: StoreUserRequest = Depends(StoreUserRequest.from_request)):
    # req.validated() → only fields that passed validation
    data = req.validated()
    user = await User.create(**data)
    return {"message": "User created", "user": user}

If validation fails, a 422 Unprocessable Entity response is returned automatically with detailed error messages. If authorize() returns False, a 403 Forbidden is raised.

---

API Resources

Resources provide a consistent way to transform your model data before returning it from your routes — like Laravel's API Resources.

Single Resource

# app/resources/user.py
from makefast.http import Resource
from typing import Any, Dict

class UserResource(Resource):
    def to_dict(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        return {
            "id":         self.data["id"],
            "name":       self.data["name"],
            "email":      self.data["email"],
            "created_at": str(self.data.get("created_at", "")),
        }

Use in a route:

from app.resources.user import UserResource

@router.get("/users/{id}")
async def show(id: int):
    user = await User.find(id)
    return UserResource(user).response()
    # → {"data": {"id": 1, "name": "Alice", "email": "..."}}

Fluent modifiers:

# Remove the "data" wrapper
UserResource(user).without_wrapping().response()
# → {"id": 1, "name": "Alice", ...}

# Use a custom wrapper key
UserResource(user).wrap("user").response()
# → {"user": {"id": 1, ...}}

# Attach extra metadata
UserResource(user).with_meta({"token": jwt_token}).response()
# → {"data": {...}, "token": "..."}

Resource Collection

# app/resources/user_collection.py
from makefast.http import ResourceCollection
from app.resources.user import UserResource

class UserCollection(ResourceCollection):
    resource_class = UserResource

Use in a route:

from app.resources.user_collection import UserCollection

@router.get("/users")
async def index():
    users = await User.all()
    return UserCollection(users).response()
    # → {"data": [{...}, {...}]}

Inline factory (no subclassing needed):

from makefast.http import ResourceCollection
from app.resources.user import UserResource

return ResourceCollection.of(UserResource, users).response()

Pagination with Resources

@router.get("/users")
async def index(page: int = 1):
    # Paginate with conditions using QueryBuilder
    result = await User.query().where("active", 1).order_by("name").paginate(page=page, per_page=15)

    return UserCollection(result["data"]).with_pagination(result).response()

Response shape:

{
  "data": [...],
  "pagination": {
    "total": 42,
    "per_page": 15,
    "current_page": 1,
    "last_page": 3,
    "from": 1,
    "to": 15
  }
}

---

Database Configuration

MakeFast provides the easiest way to configure and use a database. By default, MakeFast supports MySQL and MongoDB.

MySQL

Add the following lines to main.py:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from makefast.database import MySQLDatabaseInit

app = FastAPI()

MySQLDatabaseInit.init(app)

Configure your .env file:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_database
DB_USERNAME=your_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_password

MongoDB

Add the following lines to main.py:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from makefast.database import MongoDBDatabaseInit

app = FastAPI()

MongoDBDatabaseInit.init(app)

Database CRUD operations

MakeFast offers built-in methods for CRUD operations. First, create a model that corresponds to your MySQL table or MongoDB collection.

Create

from app.models import User

user = await User.create(**{
    "username": "usertest",
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "password": "test123",
})

Update

await User.update(45, **{
    "name": "New name"
})

Find one

await User.find(45)
await User.find_or_fail(45)  # raises 404 if not found

Find all

await User.all()

Delete

await User.delete(45)

---

Advanced Query Builder

MakeFast's MySQL integration includes a powerful QueryBuilder for building advanced queries with full validation and SQL injection protection.

Filtering

# WHERE username = 'john'
users = await User.query().where("username", "john").get()

# WHERE age > 18 AND status = 'active'
users = await User.query().where("age", ">", 18).where("status", "active").get()

# WHERE IN / NOT IN
users = await User.query().where_in("status", ["active", "pending"]).get()

# WHERE IS NULL / IS NOT NULL
users = await User.query().where_null("deleted_at").get()

# WHERE BETWEEN
users = await User.query().where_between("age", 18, 65).get()

# WHERE LIKE
users = await User.query().where_like("email", "[e-mail]").get()

# OR WHERE
users = await User.query().where("role", "admin").or_where("role", "moderator").get()

Joins

# INNER JOIN
results = await User.query().join("profiles", "users.id", "profiles.user_id").get()

# LEFT JOIN
results = await User.query().left_join("orders", "users.id", "orders.user_id").get()

# RIGHT JOIN
results = await User.query().right_join("departments", "users.dept_id", "departments.id").get()

Select Specific Columns

users = await User.query().select("id", "username", "email").get()

# With alias
users = await User.query().select_raw("users.id as user_id", "profiles.bio as profile_bio").get()

Ordering, Limit & Offset

users = await User.query().order_by("created_at", "DESC").limit(10).offset(20).get()

Group By

results = await User.query().select("role").group_by("role").get()

First / First Or Fail

user = await User.query().where("username", "john").first()
user = await User.query().where("username", "john").first_or_fail()  # raises 404

Pagination (Chained)

Paginate any query, including those with joins, filters, and ordering:

result = await User.query() \
    .where("active", 1) \
    .order_by("created_at", "DESC") \
    .paginate(page=1, per_page=15)

# result = {
#   "data": [...],
#   "total": 42,
#   "per_page": 15,
#   "current_page": 1,
#   "last_page": 3,
#   "from": 1,
#   "to": 15
# }

Simple Pagination (Class-level)

result = await User.paginate(page=2, per_page=20)

Exists Check

already_taken = await User.query().where("email", email).exists()
if already_taken:
    raise HTTPException(400, "Email already registered")

Chained Update & Delete

# Update matching records
rows_updated = await User.query().where("status", "inactive").update(status="archived")

# Delete matching records (WHERE is required for safety)
rows_deleted = await User.query().where("deleted_at", "<", cutoff_date).delete()

---

Aggregations

Built-in aggregation helpers on both the model and the query builder:

total_users = await User.count()
max_age    = await User.max("age")
min_age    = await User.min("age")
avg_age    = await User.avg("age")
total_bal  = await User.sum("balance")

# With conditions
active_count = await User.query().where("active", 1).count()

---

Bulk Operations

Bulk Create

users = await User.bulk_create([
    {"username": "alice", "email": "[e-mail]"},
    {"username": "bob",   "email": "[e-mail]"},
])

Get or Create

user, created = await User.get_or_create(
    username="john",
    defaults={"email": "[e-mail]"}
)

Update or Create

user, created = await User.update_or_create(
    username="john",
    defaults={"email": "[e-mail]"}
)

---

Safe Raw Queries

MakeFast allows raw SQL execution with strict validation and safety:

results = await User.safe_raw_query(
    "SELECT id, username FROM users WHERE status = %s",
    params=("active",)
)

By default, only SELECT queries are allowed unless you explicitly pass allowed_operations:

results = await User.safe_raw_query(
    "UPDATE users SET status = %s WHERE id = %s",
    params=("active", 1),
    allowed_operations={"UPDATE"}
)

---
