What this skill does
FastAPI Project Templates Production-ready FastAPI project structures with async patterns, dependency injection, middleware, and best practices for building high-performance APIs. When to Use This Skill Starting new FastAPI projects from scratch Implementing async REST APIs with Python Building high-performance web services and microservices Creating async applications with PostgreSQL, MongoDB Setting up API projects with proper structure and testing Core Concepts 1. Project Structure Recommended Layout: 2. Dependency Injection FastAPI's built-in DI system using Depends: Database session management Authentication/authorization Shared business logic Configuration injection 3. Async Patterns Proper async/await usage: Async route handlers Async database operations Async background tasks Async middleware Detailed worked examples and patterns Detailed sections (starting with ## Implementation Patterns) live in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation summary above is insufficient. Testing
