Building APIs with FastAPI · 12-day planAll days
Day 6 of 12 30 min

Use FastAPI's dependency injection to share logic between endpoints - common query parameters, loading an object or failing with 404, checking a header - and to manage resources like database sessions with yield. Learn Annotated shortcuts, dependencies of dependencies, and applying dependencies to whole apps.

By the end of today you can

  • Declare dependencies with Depends and reuse them across endpoints
  • Use dependencies for shared parameters and "load or 404" logic
  • Write dependencies with yield to set up and clean up resources
  • Chain dependencies and reuse them with Annotated type aliases
  • Apply dependencies to a whole app or a group of routes
