• "build FastAPI routes for [feature]"
• "scaffold FastAPI application"

Complete FastAPI Structure

1. Main Router

# app/routers/users.py
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException, Query, status
from typing import List, Optional
from ..schemas.user import UserCreate, UserUpdate, UserResponse, UserListResponse
from ..services.user_service import UserService

):

    - **skip**: Number of records to skip
    - **limit**: Maximum number of records to return
    - **search**: Optional search query
    """

2. Pydantic Schemas

# app/schemas/user.py
from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr, Field, validator
from typing import Optional, List
from datetime import datetime
from enum import Enum

class UserRole(str, Enum):
    USER = "user"

    def validate_password(cls, v):
        if not any(c.isupper() for c in v):

        if not any(c.isdigit() for c in v):
            raise ValueError('Password must contain a digit')

    role: Optional[UserRole] = None

class UserResponse(UserBase):
    id: int
    created_at: datetime
    updated_at: datetime

    class Config:
        from_attributes = True

class UserListResponse(BaseModel):
    users: List[UserResponse]
    total: int
    page: int
    page_size: int

4. Dependencies

# app/dependencies.py
from fastapi import Depends, HTTPException, status
from fastapi.security import HTTPBearer, HTTPAuthorizationCredentials
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from .database import get_db
from .services.user_service import UserService
from .core.security import decode_token

    """Get current authenticated user"""
    token = credentials.credentials

    payload = decode_token(token)
    if not payload:
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=status.HTTP_401_UNAUTHORIZED,
            detail="Invalid or expired token"
        )

    user_service = UserService(db)
    user = await user_service.get_by_id(payload.get("sub"))

    if not user:
