โœจ Support for Pydantic v2 โœจ

Pydantic version 2 has the core re-written in Rust and includes a lot of improvements and features, for example:

  • Improved correctness in corner cases.
  • Safer types.
  • Better performance and less energy consumption.
  • Better extensibility.
  • etc.

...all this while keeping the same Python API. In most of the cases, for simple models, you can simply upgrade the Pydantic version and get all the benefits. ๐Ÿš€

In some cases, for pure data validation and processing, you can get performance improvements of 20x or more. This means 2,000% or more. ๐Ÿคฏ

When you use FastAPI, there's a lot more going on, processing the request and response, handling dependencies, executing your own code, and particularly, waiting for the network. But you will probably still get some nice performance improvements just from the upgrade.

The focus of this release is compatibility with Pydantic v1 and v2, to make sure your current apps keep working. Later there will be more focus on refactors, correctness, code improvements, and then performance improvements. Some third-party early beta testers that ran benchmarks on the beta releases of FastAPI reported improvements of 2x - 3x. Which is not bad for just doing pip install --upgrade fastapi pydantic. This was not an official benchmark and I didn't check it myself, but it's a good sign.

Migration

Check out the Pydantic migration guide.

For the things that need changes in your Pydantic models, the Pydantic team built bump-pydantic.

A command line tool that will process your code and update most of the things automatically for you. Make sure you have your code in git first, and review each of the changes to make sure everything is correct before committing the changes.

Pydantic v1

This version of FastAPI still supports Pydantic v1. And although Pydantic v1 will be deprecated at some point, it will still be supported for a while.

This means that you can install the new Pydantic v2, and if something fails, you can install Pydantic v1 while you fix any problems you might have, but having the latest FastAPI.

There are tests for both Pydantic v1 and v2, and test coverage is kept at 100%.

Changes

  • There are new parameter fields supported by Pydantic Field() for:

    • Path()
    • Query()
    • Header()
    • Cookie()
    • Body()
    • Form()
    • File()

  • The new parameter fields are:

    • default_factory
    • alias_priority
    • validation_alias
    • serialization_alias
    • discriminator
    • strict
    • multiple_of
    • allow_inf_nan
    • max_digits
    • decimal_places
    • json_schema_extra

...you can read about them in the Pydantic docs.

  • The parameter regex has been deprecated and replaced by pattern.
  • New Pydantic models use an improved and simplified attribute model_config that takes a simple dict instead of an internal class Config for their configuration.
  • The attribute schema_extra for the internal class Config has been replaced by the key json_schema_extra in the new model_config dict.
  • When you install "fastapi[all]" it now also includes:

  • Now Pydantic Settings is an additional optional package (included in "fastapi[all]"). To use settings you should now import from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings instead of importing from pydantic directly.

  • PR #9816 by @tiangolo, included all the work done (in multiple PRs) on the beta branch (main-pv2).

0.95.0

Highlights

This release adds support for dependencies and parameters using Annotated and recommends its usage. โœจ

This has several benefits, one of the main ones is that now the parameters of your functions with Annotated would not be affected at all.

If you call those functions in other places in your code, the actual default values will be kept, your editor will help you notice missing required arguments, Python will require you to pass required arguments at runtime, you will be able to use the same functions for different things and with different libraries (e.g. Typer will soon support Annotated too, then you could use the same function for an API and a CLI), etc.

Because Annotated is standard Python, you still get all the benefits from editors and tools, like autocompletion, inline errors, etc.

One of the biggest benefits is that now you can create Annotated dependencies that are then shared by multiple path operation functions, this will allow you to reduce a lot of code duplication in your codebase, while keeping all the support from editors and tools.

For example, you could have code like this:

def get_current_user(token: str):
    # authenticate user
    return User()


@app.get("/items/")
def read_items(user: User = Depends(get_current_user)):
    ...


@app.post("/items/")
def create_item(*, user: User = Depends(get_current_user), item: Item):
    ...


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(*, user: User = Depends(get_current_user), item_id: int):
    ...


@app.delete("/items/{item_id}")
def delete_item(*, user: User = Depends(get_current_user), item_id: int):
    ...

There's a bit of code duplication for the dependency:

user: User = Depends(get_current_user)

...the bigger the codebase, the more noticeable it is.

Now you can create an annotated dependency once, like this:

CurrentUser = Annotated[User, Depends(get_current_user)]

And then you can reuse this Annotated dependency:

CurrentUser = Annotated[User, Depends(get_current_user)]


@app.get("/items/")
def read_items(user: CurrentUser):
    ...


@app.post("/items/")
def create_item(user: CurrentUser, item: Item):
    ...


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(user: CurrentUser, item_id: int):
    ...


@app.delete("/items/{item_id}")
def delete_item(user: CurrentUser, item_id: int):
    ...

...and CurrentUser has all the typing information as User, so your editor will work as expected (autocompletion and everything), and FastAPI will be able to understand the dependency defined in Annotated. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Roughly all the docs have been rewritten to use Annotated as the main way to declare parameters and dependencies. All the examples in the docs now include a version with Annotated and a version without it, for each of the specific Python versions (when there are small differences/improvements in more recent versions). There were around 23K new lines added between docs, examples, and tests. ๐Ÿš€

The key updated docs are:

Special thanks to @nzig for the core implementation and to @adriangb for the inspiration and idea with Xpresso! ๐Ÿš€

0.93.0

Features

  • โœจ Add support for lifespan async context managers (superseding startup and shutdown events). Initial PR #2944 by @uSpike.

Now, instead of using independent startup and shutdown events, you can define that logic in a single function with yield decorated with @asynccontextmanager (an async context manager).

For example:

from contextlib import asynccontextmanager

from fastapi import FastAPI


def fake_answer_to_everything_ml_model(x: float):
    return x * 42


ml_models = {}


@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    # Load the ML model
    ml_models["answer_to_everything"] = fake_answer_to_everything_ml_model
    yield
    # Clean up the ML models and release the resources
    ml_models.clear()


app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)


@app.get("/predict")
async def predict(x: float):
    result = ml_models["answer_to_everything"](x)
    return {"result": result}

Note: This is the recommended way going forward, instead of using startup and shutdown events.

๐Ÿšจ This is a security fix. Please upgrade as soon as possible.

Upgrades

  • โฌ†๏ธ Upgrade Starlette to 0.25.0. PR #5996 by @tiangolo.
    • This solves a vulnerability that could allow denial of service attacks by using many small multipart fields/files (parts), consuming high CPU and memory.
    • Only applications using forms (e.g. file uploads) could be affected.
    • For most cases, upgrading won't have any breaking changes.

0.91.0

Upgrades

  • โฌ†๏ธ Upgrade Starlette version to 0.24.0 and refactor internals for compatibility. PR #5985 by @tiangolo.
    • This can solve nuanced errors when using middlewares. Before Starlette 0.24.0, a new instance of each middleware class would be created when a new middleware was added. That normally was not a problem, unless the middleware class expected to be created only once, with only one instance, that happened in some cases. This upgrade would solve those cases (thanks @adriangb! Starlette PR #2017). Now the middleware class instances are created once, right before the first request (the first time the app is called).
    • If you depended on that previous behavior, you might need to update your code. As always, make sure your tests pass before merging the upgrade.

Features

Now you can declare the return type / response_model in the function return type annotation:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

app = FastAPI()


class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    price: float


@app.get("/items/")
async def read_items() -> list[Item]:
    return [
        Item(name="Portal Gun", price=42.0),
        Item(name="Plumbus", price=32.0),
    ]

FastAPI will use the return type annotation to perform:

  • Data validation
  • Automatic documentation
    • It could power automatic client generators
  • Data filtering

Before this version it was only supported via the response_model parameter.

  • ๐Ÿ› Fix response_model not invalidating None. PR #2725 by @hukkin.

If you are using response_model with some type that doesn't include None but the function is returning None, it will now raise an internal server error, because you are returning invalid data that violates the contract in response_model. Before this release it would allow breaking that contract returning None.

For example, if you have an app like this:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    price: Optional[float] = None
    owner_ids: Optional[List[int]] = None

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/items/invalidnone", response_model=Item)
def get_invalid_none():
    return None

...calling the path /items/invalidnone will raise an error, because None is not a valid type for the response_model declared with Item.

You could also be implicitly returning None without realizing, for example:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    price: Optional[float] = None
    owner_ids: Optional[List[int]] = None

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/items/invalidnone", response_model=Item)
def get_invalid_none():
    if flag:
        return {"name": "foo"}
    # if flag is False, at this point the function will implicitly return None

If you have path operations using response_model that need to be allowed to return None, make it explicit in response_model using Union[Something, None]:

from typing import Union

from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    price: Optional[float] = None
    owner_ids: Optional[List[int]] = None

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/items/invalidnone", response_model=Union[Item, None])
def get_invalid_none():
    return None

This way the data will be correctly validated, you won't have an internal server error, and the documentation will also reflect that this path operation could return None (or null in JSON).

Features

  • โœจ Add support for omitting ... as default value when declaring required parameters with:

  • Path()

  • Query()
  • Header()
  • Cookie()
  • Body()
  • Form()
  • File()

New docs at Tutorial - Query Parameters and String Validations - Make it required. PR #4906 by @tiangolo.

Up to now, declaring a required parameter while adding additional validation or metadata needed using ... (Ellipsis).

For example:

from fastapi import Cookie, FastAPI, Header, Path, Query

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def main(
    item_id: int = Path(default=..., gt=0),
    query: str = Query(default=..., max_length=10),
    session: str = Cookie(default=..., min_length=3),
    x_trace: str = Header(default=..., title="Tracing header"),
):
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

...all these parameters are required because the default value is ... (Ellipsis).

But now it's possible and supported to just omit the default value, as would be done with Pydantic fields, and the parameters would still be required.

โœจ For example, this is now supported:

from fastapi import Cookie, FastAPI, Header, Path, Query

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def main(
    item_id: int = Path(gt=0),
    query: str = Query(max_length=10),
    session: str = Cookie(min_length=3),
    x_trace: str = Header(title="Tracing header"),
):
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

To declare parameters as optional (not required), you can set a default value as always, for example using None:

from typing import Union
from fastapi import Cookie, FastAPI, Header, Path, Query

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def main(
    item_id: int = Path(gt=0),
    query: Union[str, None] = Query(default=None, max_length=10),
    session: Union[str, None] = Cookie(default=None, min_length=3),
    x_trace: Union[str, None] = Header(default=None, title="Tracing header"),
):
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

0.74.0

Breaking Changes

  • โœจ Update internal AsyncExitStack to fix context for dependencies with yield. PR #4575 by @tiangolo.

Dependencies with yield can now catch HTTPException and custom exceptions. For example:

async def get_database():
    with Session() as session:
        try:
            yield session
        except HTTPException:
            session.rollback()
            raise
        finally:
            session.close()

After the dependency with yield handles the exception (or not) the exception is raised again. So that any exception handlers can catch it, or ultimately the default internal ServerErrorMiddleware.

If you depended on exceptions not being received by dependencies with yield, and receiving an exception breaks the code after yield, you can use a block with try and finally:

async def do_something():
    try:
        yield something
    finally:
        some_cleanup()

...that way the finally block is run regardless of any exception that might happen.

Features

  • The same PR #4575 from above also fixes the contextvars context for the code before and after yield. This was the main objective of that PR.

This means that now, if you set a value in a context variable before yield, the value would still be available after yield (as you would intuitively expect). And it also means that you can reset the context variable with a token afterwards.

For example, this works correctly now:

from contextvars import ContextVar
from typing import Any, Dict, Optional


legacy_request_state_context_var: ContextVar[Optional[Dict[str, Any]]] = ContextVar(
    "legacy_request_state_context_var", default=None
)

async def set_up_request_state_dependency():
    request_state = {"user": "deadpond"}
    contextvar_token = legacy_request_state_context_var.set(request_state)
    yield request_state
    legacy_request_state_context_var.reset(contextvar_token)

...before this change it would raise an error when resetting the context variable, because the contextvars context was different, because of the way it was implemented.

Note: You probably don't need contextvars, and you should probably avoid using them. But they are powerful and useful in some advanced scenarios, for example, migrating from code that used Flask's g semi-global variable.

0.70.0

This release just upgrades Starlette to the latest version, 0.16.0, which includes several bug fixes and some small breaking changes.

These last three consecutive releases are independent so that you can migrate gradually:

  • First to FastAPI 0.68.2, with no breaking changes, but upgrading all the sub-dependencies.
  • Next to FastAPI 0.69.0, which upgrades Starlette to 0.15.0, with AnyIO support, and a higher chance of having breaking changes in your code.
  • Finally to FastAPI 0.70.0, just upgrading Starlette to the latest version 0.16.0 with additional bug fixes.

This way, in case there was a breaking change for your code in one of the releases, you can still benefit from the previous upgrades. โœจ

Breaking Changes - Upgrade

  • โฌ†๏ธ Upgrade Starlette to 0.16.0. PR #4016 by @tiangolo.

Also upgrades the ranges of optional dependencies:

  • "jinja2 >=2.11.2,<4.0.0"
  • "itsdangerous >=1.1.0,<3.0.0"

0.69.0

Breaking Changes - Upgrade

This release adds support for Trio. โœจ

It upgrades the version of Starlette to 0.15.0, now based on AnyIO, and the internal async components in FastAPI are now based on AnyIO as well, making it compatible with both asyncio and Trio.

You can read the docs about running FastAPI with Trio using Hypercorn.

This release also removes graphene as an optional dependency for GraphQL. If you need to work with GraphQL, the recommended library now is Strawberry. You can read the new FastAPI with GraphQL docs.

0.68.2

This release has no breaking changes. ๐ŸŽ‰

It upgrades the version ranges of sub-dependencies to allow applications using FastAPI to easily upgrade them.

Soon there will be a new FastAPI release upgrading Starlette to take advantage of recent improvements, but as that has a higher chance of having breaking changes, it will be in a separate release.

0.65.2

Security fixes

  • ๐Ÿ”’ Check Content-Type request header before assuming JSON. Initial PR #2118 by @patrickkwang.

This change fixes a CSRF security vulnerability when using cookies for authentication in path operations with JSON payloads sent by browsers.

In versions lower than 0.65.2, FastAPI would try to read the request payload as JSON even if the content-type header sent was not set to application/json or a compatible JSON media type (e.g. application/geo+json).

So, a request with a content type of text/plain containing JSON data would be accepted and the JSON data would be extracted.

But requests with content type text/plain are exempt from CORS preflights, for being considered Simple requests. So, the browser would execute them right away including cookies, and the text content could be a JSON string that would be parsed and accepted by the FastAPI application.

See CVE-2021-32677 for more details.

0.62.0

Features

  • โœจ Add support for shared/top-level parameters (dependencies, tags, etc). PR #2434 by @tiangolo.

Up to now, for several options, the only way to apply them to a group of path operations was in include_router. That works well, but the call to app.include_router() or router.include_router() is normally done in another file.

That means that, for example, to apply authentication to all the path operations in a router it would end up being done in a different file, instead of keeping related logic together.

Setting options in include_router still makes sense in some cases, for example, to override or increase configurations from a third party router included in an app. But in a router that is part of a bigger application, it would probably make more sense to add those settings when creating the APIRouter.

In FastAPI

This allows setting the (mostly new) parameters (additionally to the already existing parameters):

  • default_response_class: updated to handle defaults in APIRouter and include_router.
  • dependencies: to include โœจ top-level dependencies โœจ that apply to the whole application. E.g. to add global authentication.
  • callbacks: OpenAPI callbacks that apply to all the path operations.
  • deprecated: to mark all the path operations as deprecated. ๐Ÿคท
  • include_in_schema: to allow excluding all the path operations from the OpenAPI schema.
  • responses: OpenAPI responses that apply to all the path operations.

For example:

from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends


async def some_dependency():
    return


app = FastAPI(dependencies=[Depends(some_dependency)])

In APIRouter

This allows setting the (mostly new) parameters (additionally to the already existing parameters):

  • default_response_class: updated to handle defaults in APIRouter and include_router. For example, it's not needed to set it explicitly when creating callbacks.
  • dependencies: to include โœจ router-level dependencies โœจ that apply to all the path operations in a router. Up to now, this was only possible with include_router.
  • callbacks: OpenAPI callbacks that apply to all the path operations in this router.
  • deprecated: to mark all the path operations in a router as deprecated.
  • include_in_schema: to allow excluding all the path operations in a router from the OpenAPI schema.
  • responses: OpenAPI responses that apply to all the path operations in a router.
  • prefix: to set the path prefix for a router. Up to now, this was only possible when calling include_router.
  • tags: OpenAPI tags to apply to all the path operations in this router.

For example:

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends


async def some_dependency():
    return


router = APIRouter(prefix="/users", dependencies=[Depends(some_dependency)])

In include_router

Most of these settings are now supported in APIRouter, which normally lives closer to the related code, so it is recommended to use APIRouter when possible.

But include_router is still useful to, for example, adding options (like dependencies, prefix, and tags) when including a third party router, or a generic router that is shared between several projects.

This PR allows setting the (mostly new) parameters (additionally to the already existing parameters):

  • default_response_class: updated to handle defaults in APIRouter and FastAPI.
  • deprecated: to mark all the path operations in a router as deprecated in OpenAPI.
  • include_in_schema: to allow disabling all the path operations from showing in the OpenAPI schema.
  • callbacks: OpenAPI callbacks that apply to all the path operations in this router.

Note: all the previous parameters are still there, so it's still possible to declare dependencies in include_router.

Breaking Changes

  • PR #2434 includes several improvements that shouldn't affect normal use cases, but could affect in advanced scenarios:
    • If you are testing the generated OpenAPI (you shouldn't, FastAPI already tests it extensively for you): the order for tags in include_router and path operations was updated for consistency, but it's a simple order change.
    • If you have advanced custom logic to access each route's route.response_class, or the router.default_response_class, or the app.default_response_class: the default value for response_class in APIRoute and for default_response_class in APIRouter and FastAPI is now a DefaultPlaceholder used internally to handle and solve default values and overrides. The actual response class inside the DefaultPlaceholder is available at route.response_class.value.

Breaking Changes

  • Require Pydantic > 1.0.0.
    • Remove support for deprecated Pydantic 0.32.2. This improves maintainability and allows new features.
    • In FastAPI and APIRouter:
      • Remove path operation decorators related/deprecated parameter response_model_skip_defaults (use response_model_exclude_unset instead).
      • Change path operation decorators parameter default for response_model_exclude from set() to None (as is in Pydantic).
    • In encoders.jsonable_encoder:
      • Remove deprecated skip_defaults, use instead exclude_unset.
      • Set default of exclude from set() to None (as is in Pydantic).
    • PR #1862.
  • In encoders.jsonable_encoder remove parameter sqlalchemy_safe.
    • It was an early hack to allow returning SQLAlchemy models, but it was never documented, and the recommended way is using Pydantic's orm_mode as described in the tutorial: SQL (Relational) Databases.

  • Re-export utils from Starlette:
    • This allows using things like from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse instead of from starlette.responses import JSONResponse.
    • It's mainly syntax sugar, a convenience for developer experience.
    • Now Request, Response, WebSocket, status can be imported directly from fastapi as in from fastapi import Response. This is because those are frequently used, to use the request directly, to set headers and cookies, to get status codes, etc.

  • Add dependencies with yield, a.k.a. exit steps, context managers, cleanup, teardown, ...
    • This allows adding extra code after a dependency is done. It can be used, for example, to close database connections.
    • Dependencies with yield can be normal or async, FastAPI will run normal dependencies in a threadpool.
    • They can be combined with normal dependencies.
    • It's possible to have arbitrary trees/levels of dependencies with yield and exit steps are handled in the correct order automatically.
    • It works by default in Python 3.7 or above. For Python 3.6, it requires the extra backport dependencies:
      • async-exit-stack
      • async-generator
    • New docs at Dependencies with yield.

  • Improve handling of custom classes for Requests and APIRoutes.
    • This helps to more easily solve use cases like:
      • Reading a body before and/or after a request (equivalent to a middleware).
      • Run middleware-like code only for a subset of path operations.
      • Process a request before passing it to a path operation function. E.g. decompressing, deserializing, etc.
      • Processing a response after being generated by path operation functions but before returning it. E.g. adding custom headers, logging, adding extra metadata.

  • Allow path parameters to have default values (e.g. None) and discard them instead of raising an error.
    • This allows declaring a parameter like user_id: str = None that can be taken from a query parameter, but the same path operation can be included in a router with a path /users/{user_id}, in which case will be taken from the path and will be required.
    • PR #464 by @jonathanunderwood.

  • Allow having empty paths in path operations used with include_router and a prefix.
    • This allows having a router for /cats and all its path operations, while having one of them for /cats.
    • Now it doesn't have to be only /cats/ (with a trailing slash).
    • To use it, declare the path in the path operation as the empty string ("").

  • Fix regression, add Swagger UI deep linking again. PR #350.

  • Add test for having path templates in prefix of .include_router. PR #349.

  • Add note to docs: Include the same router multiple times with different prefix. PR #348.

  • Fix OpenAPI/JSON Schema generation for two functions with the same name (in different modules) with the same composite bodies.

    • Composite bodies' IDs are now based on path, not only on route name, as the auto-generated name uses the function names, that can be duplicated in different modules.
    • The same new ID generation applies to response models.
    • This also changes the generated title for those models.
    • Only composite bodies and response models are affected because those are generated dynamically, they don't have a module (a Python file).
    • This also adds the possibility of using .include_router() with the same APIRouter multiple times, with different prefixes, e.g. /api/v2 and /api/latest, and it will now work correctly.
    • PR #347.

0.31.0

  • Upgrade Pydantic supported version to 0.29.0.
    • New supported version range is "pydantic >=0.28,<=0.29.0".
    • This adds support for Pydantic Generic Models, kudos to @dmontagu.
    • PR #344.

0.30.1

0.30.0

  • Add support for Pydantic's ORM mode:

    • Updated documentation about SQL with SQLAlchemy, using Pydantic models with ORM mode, SQLAlchemy models with relations, separation of files, simplification of code and other changes. New docs: SQL (Relational) Databases.
    • The new support for ORM mode fixes issues/adds features related to ORMs with lazy-loading, hybrid properties, dynamic/getters (using @property decorators) and several other use cases.
    • This applies to ORMs like SQLAlchemy, Peewee, Tortoise ORM, GINO ORM and virtually any other.
    • If your path operations return an arbitrary object with attributes (e.g. my_item.name instead of my_item["name"]) AND you use a response_model, make sure to update the Pydantic models with orm_mode = True as described in the docs (link above).
    • New documentation about receiving plain dicts as request bodies: Bodies of arbitrary dicts.
    • New documentation about returning arbitrary dicts in responses: Response with arbitrary dict.
    • Technical Details:
      • When declaring a response_model it is used directly to generate the response content, from whatever was returned from the path operation function.
      • Before this, the return content was first passed through jsonable_encoder to ensure it was a "jsonable" object, like a dict, instead of an arbitrary object with attributes (like an ORM model). That's why you should make sure to update your Pydantic models for objects with attributes to use orm_mode = True.
      • If you don't have a response_model, the return object will still be passed through jsonable_encoder first.
      • When a response_model is declared, the same response_model type declaration won't be used as is, it will be "cloned" to create an new one (a cloned Pydantic Field with all the submodels cloned as well).
      • This avoids/fixes a potential security issue: as the returned object is passed directly to Pydantic, if the returned object was a subclass of the response_model (e.g. you return a UserInDB that inherits from User but contains extra fields, like hashed_password, and User is used in the response_model), it would still pass the validation (because UserInDB is a subclass of User) and the object would be returned as-is, including the hashed_password. To fix this, the declared response_model is cloned, if it is a Pydantic model class (or contains Pydantic model classes in it, e.g. in a List[Item]), the Pydantic model class(es) will be a different one (the "cloned" one). So, an object that is a subclass won't simply pass the validation and returned as-is, because it is no longer a sub-class of the cloned response_model. Instead, a new Pydantic model object will be created with the contents of the returned object. So, it will be a new object (made with the data from the returned one), and will be filtered by the cloned response_model, containing only the declared fields as normally.

0.29.1

0.29.0

  • Add support for declaring a Response parameter:

0.28.0

  • Implement dependency cache per request.

    • This avoids calling each dependency multiple times for the same request.
    • This is useful while calling external services, performing costly computation, etc.
    • This also means that if a dependency was declared as a path operation decorator dependency, possibly at the router level (with .include_router()) and then it is declared again in a specific path operation, the dependency will be called only once.
    • The cache can be disabled per dependency declaration, using use_cache=False as in Depends(your_dependency, use_cache=False).
    • Updated docs at: Using the same dependency multiple times.
    • PR #292.

  • Implement dependency overrides for testing.

  • Add support for WebSockets with dependencies and parameters.

  • Upgrade the compatible version of Pydantic to 0.26.0.

    • This includes JSON Schema support for IP address and network objects, bug fixes, and other features.
    • PR #247 by @euri10.

0.23.0

  • Upgrade the compatible version of Starlette to 0.12.0.

    • This includes support for ASGI 3 (the latest version of the standard).
    • It's now possible to use Starlette's StreamingResponse with iterators, like file-like objects (as those returned by open()).
    • It's now possible to use the low level utility iterate_in_threadpool from starlette.concurrency (for advanced scenarios).
    • PR #243.

  • Add OAuth2 redirect page for Swagger UI. This allows having delegated authentication in the Swagger UI docs. For this to work, you need to add {your_origin}/docs/oauth2-redirect to the allowed callbacks in your OAuth2 provider (in Auth0, Facebook, Google, etc).

    • For example, during development, it could be http://localhost:8000/docs/oauth2-redirect.
    • Have in mind that this callback URL is independent of whichever one is used by your frontend. You might also have another callback at https://yourdomain.com/login/callback.
    • This is only to allow delegated authentication in the API docs with Swagger UI.
    • PR #198 by @steinitzu.

  • Make Swagger UI and ReDoc route handlers (path operations) be async functions instead of lambdas to improve performance. PR #241 by @Trim21.

  • Make Swagger UI and ReDoc URLs parameterizable, allowing to host and serve local versions of them and have offline docs. PR #112 by @euri10.

0.22.0

  • Add support for dependencies parameter:

    • A parameter in path operation decorators, for dependencies that should be executed but the return value is not important or not used in the path operation function.
    • A parameter in the .include_router() method of FastAPI applications and routers, to include dependencies that should be executed in each path operation in a router.
      • This is useful, for example, to require authentication or permissions in specific group of path operations.
      • Different dependencies can be applied to different routers.
    • These dependencies are run before the normal parameter dependencies. And normal dependencies are run too. They can be combined.
    • Dependencies declared in a router are executed first, then the ones defined in path operation decorators, and then the ones declared in normal parameters. They are all combined and executed.
    • All this also supports using Security with scopes in those dependencies parameters, for more advanced OAuth 2.0 security scenarios with scopes.
    • New documentation about dependencies in path operation decorators.
    • New documentation about dependencies in the include_router() method.
    • PR #235.

  • Fix OpenAPI documentation of Starlette URL convertors. Specially useful when using path convertors, to take a whole path as a parameter, like /some/url/{p:path}. PR #234 by @euri10.

  • Make default parameter utilities exported from fastapi be functions instead of classes (the new functions return instances of those classes). To be able to override the return types and fix mypy errors in FastAPI's users' code. Applies to Path, Query, Header, Cookie, Body, Form, File, Depends, and Security. PR #226 and PR #231.
