FastAPI Endpoint Scaffolder Workflow

This skill creates a complete FastAPI endpoint with proper structure, type safety, and testing scaffolding.

Workflow Steps

  1. Ask for endpoint details:

    • Endpoint name (e.g., notifications, email_templates)
    • HTTP methods needed (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)
    • URL path (e.g., /notifications, /email/templates)
    • Brief description of what this endpoint does

  2. Ask for model fields:

    • Request model fields (e.g., email: str, subject: str, body: str)
    • Response model fields (e.g., id: str, status: str, sent_at: datetime)
    • Optional fields (mark with Optional[type])

  3. Generate endpoint file:

    • Read template: .claude/skills/fastapi-endpoint-scaffolder/templates/endpoint.py.tpl
    • Replace placeholders:
      • {{ENDPOINT_NAME}} - Snake_case name (e.g., notifications)
      • {{ENDPOINT_PATH}} - URL path (e.g., /notifications)
      • {{ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTION}} - Brief description
      • {{REQUEST_MODEL}} - PascalCase request model name
      • {{RESPONSE_MODEL}} - PascalCase response model name
      • {{HTTP_METHOD}} - HTTP method (post, get, put, delete)
    • Write to: backend/app/api/endpoints/{{ENDPOINT_NAME}}.py

  4. Generate models file:

    • Read template: .claude/skills/fastapi-endpoint-scaffolder/templates/models.py.tpl
    • Replace placeholders:
      • {{MODEL_NAME}} - PascalCase model name
      • {{REQUEST_FIELDS}} - Request model fields
      • {{RESPONSE_FIELDS}} - Response model fields
    • Write to: backend/app/models/{{ENDPOINT_NAME}}_schemas.py

  5. Update router registration:

    • Read: backend/app/api/router.py
    • Add import: from .endpoints import {{ENDPOINT_NAME}}
    • Add router tuple: ({{ENDPOINT_NAME}}.router, "/{{ENDPOINT_PATH}}", "{{TAG_NAME}}")
    • Write updated file

  6. Update models init.py:

    • Read: backend/app/models/__init__.py
    • Add imports from new schema file
    • Add to __all__ list
    • Write updated file

  7. Generate test file:

    • Read template: .claude/skills/fastapi-endpoint-scaffolder/templates/test_endpoint.py.tpl
    • Replace placeholders
    • Write to: backend/app/tests/api/test_{{ENDPOINT_NAME}}.py

  8. Report success:

    • List all created/modified files
    • Show example curl command for testing
    • Remind user to implement business logic in the endpoint
