Is there a way to convert a pydantic model to query parameters in fastapi?
Some of my endpoints pass parameters via the body, but some others pass them directly in the query. All this endpoints share the same data model, for example:
class Model(BaseModel):
x: str
y: str
I would like to avoid duplicating my definition of this model in the definition of my "query-parameters endpoints", like for example test_query in this code:
class Model(BaseModel):
x: str
y: str
@app.post("/test-body")
def test_body(model: Model): pass
@app.post("/test-query-params")
def test_query(x: str, y: str): pass
What's the cleanest way of doing this?
The documentation gives a shortcut to avoid this kind of repetitions. In this case, it would give:
from fastapi import Depends
@app.post("/test-query-params")
def test_query(model: Model = Depends()): pass
This will allow you to request /test-query-params?x=1&y=2 and will also produce the correct OpenAPI description for this endpoint.
Similar solutions can be used for using Pydantic models as form-data descriptors.
