Is authentication included in the scaffolding?

Yes, the skill provides comprehensive patterns for JWT-based authentication, password hashing with passlib, and dependency-based authorization.

Does this skill support PostgreSQL?

Yes, the templates are specifically designed for asynchronous PostgreSQL integration using SQLAlchemy's async engine and session management.

What database ORM does it use?

It primarily uses SQLAlchemy with the async extension for database operations, combined with Pydantic for data validation.

Can I use this for existing projects?

While optimized for new projects, you can use the individual patterns like the Repository or Service layers to refactor and structure existing FastAPI codebases.

API Development

Generates production-ready FastAPI project structures with asynchronous patterns, robust dependency injection, and secure authentication.

About

The FastAPI Project Scaffolding skill streamlines the creation of high-performance Python backends by providing standardized architectural patterns. It automates the setup of complex project hierarchies, including asynchronous database integration with SQLAlchemy, a clean repository-service-controller separation, and built-in JWT security. Whether building a microservice or a monolithic API, this skill ensures that developers follow industry best practices for scalability, testability, and maintainability from the very first line of code.
