Fapi 5

@validator is used for validating a single field, while @root_validator validates the entire model, useful for checks involving multiple fields. The document outlines best practices for creating separate schemas for user creation, update, and response, emphasizing the importance of not exposing sensitive information like passwords in response schemas. It also introduces the concept of dependency injection in FastAPI, demonstrating how to manage database sessions effectively.

@validator runs on a single field — you can transform or validate one field's value.

@root_validator
runs on the entire model's data — useful when validation depends on multiple fields together (like
password confirmation or date range checks). root_validator receives all field values as a dict. Use
pre=True to run before field validation, post (default) to run after.

3.2 Request & Response Schemas


# Separate schemas for Create, Update, Response (best practice)
class UserBase(BaseModel):
name: str
email: str

class UserCreate(UserBase): # for POST — includes password


password: str

class UserUpdate(BaseModel): # for PATCH — all fields optional


name: Optional[str] = None
email: Optional[str] = None

class UserResponse(UserBase): # for GET — excludes password


id: int
created_at: datetime
is_active: bool

class Config:
orm_mode = True

# Using exclude / include


user = UserResponse(...)
[Link](exclude={'created_at'}) # exclude fields
[Link](include={'id', 'name'}) # only these fields
[Link](exclude_none=True) # skip None values

💡 Interview Tip: Always use separate schemas for Create, Update, and Response. Never expose
password hashes or internal fields in response schemas. This shows maturity in API design.

📘 SECTION 4: Dependency Injection

4.1 Depends() — Core Concept


from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends, HTTPException
from [Link] import Session
from typing import Generator

# DB session dependency
def get_db() -> Generator:
db = SessionLocal()
try:
yield db
finally:
[Link]()

# Reusable query params dependency
