fastapi-boilerplate VS FastAPI-template

from typing import Optional from contextvars import ContextVar from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import ( create_async_engine, async_scoped_session, async_sessionmaker, AsyncSession, ) from ..config import config # some hints from: https://github.com/teamhide/fastapi-boilerplate/blob/master/core/db/session.py db_session_context: ContextVar[Optional[int]] = ContextVar( "db_session_context", default=None ) engine = create_async_engine(url=config.DB_URL) def get_db_session_context() -> int: session_id = db_session_context.get() if not session_id: raise ValueError("Currently no session is available") return session_id def set_db_session_context(*, session_id: int) -> None: db_session_context.set(session_id) AsyncScopedSession = async_scoped_session( session_factory=async_sessionmaker(bind=engine, autoflush=False, autocommit=False), scopefunc=get_db_session_context, ) def get_current_session() -> AsyncSession: return AsyncScopedSession()

I'm pretty partial to s3rius's template boiler plate. Used it while contracting a while back and it just tackled everything I'd want for the first few months leaving me time to focus on CRUD / business logic instead of Devops stuff. Do wish it used ruff but that was an ultra easy swap.

I found myself rebuilding a lot of basic stuff such as sign up, login, async database functionality and unit tests every time I wanted to quickly POC something. Now I like to keep things simple and customisable when starting and thus usually don't opt for using one of the already existing templates (such as this great generator: https://github.com/s3rius/FastAPI-template) since I feel I spend more time cutting stuff out I don't need.
