Production-ready authentication for FastAPI applications

FastAuth

Production-ready authentication for FastAPI applications

FastAuth is a flexible, database-agnostic authentication library for FastAPI that provides secure user authentication, session management, and authorization out of the box.

✨ Features

• Complete Authentication - Registration, login, logout, token refresh
• Role-Based Access Control - Fine-grained permissions and roles
• Session Management - Multi-device session tracking
• OAuth Support - Social login (Google, GitHub, etc.)
• Email Verification - Secure email verification with tokens
• Password Reset - Self-service password reset
• Database Agnostic - Works with any database via adapters
• Type Safe - Full type hints and validation

🚀 Quick Start

Install

pip install sreekarnv-fastauth

Note: FastAPI is a peer dependency - your project must have FastAPI installed.

For OAuth providers (Google, GitHub, etc.):

pip install sreekarnv-fastauth[oauth]

Create Your App

from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI
from fastapi.security import HTTPAuthorizationCredentials, HTTPBearer

from fastauth.api.auth import router as auth_router
from fastauth.security.jwt import decode_access_token

app = FastAPI()
app.include_router(auth_router)

security = HTTPBearer()

@app.get("/protected")
def protected(credentials: HTTPAuthorizationCredentials = Depends(security)):
    payload = decode_access_token(credentials.credentials)
    return {"user_id": payload["sub"]}

Run

uvicorn main:app --reload
