mangoframe 0.4.0

A thin convention-and-scaffolding layer over FastAPI + SQLAlchemy — collapses the model/repository/service/schema/router module shape into one declaration.

🥭 mango

FastAPI + SQLAlchemy, without the boilerplate.

mango.Router is fastapi.APIRouter. mango.Schema is pydantic.BaseModel. mango doesn't reimplement your stack — it gives it one front door, then removes everything you'd otherwise hand-write around it: module wiring, CRUD repositories, DB setup, auth guards, error mapping, pagination, background jobs, migrations, and security middleware.

The pitch, in code

Without mango — a plain-CRUD module is a router, a repository, a schema file, engine/session setup, and manual error handling:

# ~80+ lines across models.py / repository.py / schemas.py / router.py / main.py

With mango — the same module, in full:

import uuid
from mango import Router, Schema, MangoRepository, build_crud_router, Database

class Thing(Base):
    __tablename__ = "things"
    id: Mapped[uuid.UUID] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    name: Mapped[str]

class ThingRepository(MangoRepository[Thing]):
    model = Thing

class ThingRead(Schema):
    id: uuid.UUID
    name: str

router = build_crud_router(
    repository=ThingRepository, read_schema=ThingRead,
    get_db=db.get_db, id_type=uuid.UUID, prefix="/things",
)

That's a full GET /things/, GET /things/{id}, DELETE /things/{id} REST endpoint set — 404s, pagination, error handling, all included. No import fastapi. No import pydantic. No hand-wired main.py.

🚀 Quickstart

pip install mangoframe
mango init demo_shop
cd demo_shop
mango new-module items

mango new-module auto-detects the project via project.mango (written by mango init) and wires the new module into app/registry.py for you — run it from anywhere inside the project, no directory argument needed.

Already made and cd'd into an empty folder (maybe one git init ran in already)? mango init . scaffolds it in place instead of nesting a redundant subdirectory — the project name is taken from the folder.

# app/main.py — generated for you, shown here for reference
import mango
from app import registry  # imports every module for its registration side effect

app = mango.App(title="demo_shop")
app.mount_all()

DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/demo_shop uvicorn app.main:app --reload

pip install name is mangoframe (mango and mango-framework were already taken on PyPI) — the import name is always mango.

🥭 Why mango

FastAPI and SQLAlchemy are both excellent at what they do. What they don't give you is a convention — every team ends up hand-rolling the same models.py/repository.py/service.py/schemas.py/router.py/ __init__.py shape, the same main.py router-mounting list, the same generic CRUD repository, the same try/except HTTPException translation at every error site. mango is that convention, packaged:

You'd hand-write	mango gives you
__init__.py re-exports per module	@mango.module — derived, not maintained
main.py router-mounting list	app.mount_all()
A generic repository base class	MangoRepository — get/add/update/delete/list/count/search, plus get_or_404, batch ops, eager-loading
create_async_engine + get_db() boilerplate	mango.Database(url)
Domain-error → HTTP status try/except	raise mango.NotFoundError(...)
A full CRUD router	mango.build_crud_router(...) — optionally paginated
verify-token → load-user → check-role chain	mango.Auth — pluggable, not opinionated about your token provider
Security headers / rate limiting	On by default in mango.App, or one kwarg
alembic.ini + async env.py	mango init-migrations app.db:Base
A new project's folder skeleton	mango init <name>

A module with real, non-generic business logic still writes that logic by hand — mango only removes the boilerplate around it. See the size table below for the receipts.

No magic, no lock-in. mango.Router/mango.Schema/etc. are the literal FastAPI/Pydantic classes — anything written for FastAPI directly (a raw APIRouter, a third-party plugin, an app you're migrating incrementally) works alongside mango without conversion.

---

What's inside

• App — owns its FastAPI instance, ASGI-callable, wires in security headers by default and opt-in CORS/rate-limiting, exposes a Plugin extension point and on_startup/on_shutdown hooks.
• MangoModule + @mango.module — declare a module as one class; mango derives its public API instead of a hand-written __init__.py.
• MangoRepository — generic async CRUD, get_or_404, exists, add_many/delete_many, filter_by(**equals), eager-loading via options=, and list_page/search_page for pagination.
• Auth — pluggable token verification + user loading + require_role/require/current_user FastAPI dependencies.
• MangoError + subclasses + register_error_handlers — domain exceptions that map straight to clean HTTP responses, plus a catch-all so an unhandled bug returns a generic 500, never a leaked traceback.
• build_crud_router — a full list/get/create/update/delete router from a repository + schemas, one call.
• run_in_background / Database.spawn — fire-and-forget work with its own session and a logged (not swallowed) exception on failure.
• init_migrations / init_project — scaffold Alembic and a whole new project's folder structure, via the mango CLI.

📏 What it actually cuts

Every piece exists to measurably shorten a project's code — not to add abstraction for its own sake. Per module, roughly:

What you'd hand-write	Lines	With mango
__init__.py re-exports	15–30	0
main.py router mounting	1–2/module	0
Generic repository CRUD	30–50	0
DB engine/session/get_db()	~15	3
Plain-CRUD router	60–90	~10
Domain-error → HTTP mapping	5–10/site	0
Auth guard	20–40	~10
Background task + own session	10–15	1
Alembic env.py	~100	0
Security headers middleware	~15	0
New project skeleton	~80	0

Development

git clone https://github.com/rhydham-mittal27/mango.git
cd mango
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest -q

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the ground rules (every change ships with a test and a changelog entry, no exceptions).

Status

Module registry, generic repository, pagination, mount ordering, DB setup, background tasks, auth guards, error mapping, generated CRUD routers, Alembic + project scaffolding, production hardening, a plugin system, and a full FastAPI/Pydantic re-export surface are all in place — a project can be built end to end importing only mango. CI runs the full suite across Python 3.11/3.12/3.13 on every push.

Honestly: this is a young project. No production mileage beyond one real integration, a small test suite, a single maintainer. If you use it and something breaks, that's expected — open an issue or a PR. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
