FastIoC

IoC/DI container for FastAPI with automatic type-based dependency injection

---

Why FastIoC 🤔

FastIoC bridges the gap between Python’s dynamic nature and modern dependency injection patterns found in frameworks like .NET, Laravel, Spring Boot, and NestJS — with zero boilerplate and full FastAPI compatibility. It’s designed to make implementing scalable architectural patterns such as Clean Architecture or Hexagonal Architecture effortless and intuitive.

Features:

• 🧹 Write cleaner, loosely coupled code while staying true to the ⛓️‍💥 Dependency Inversion Principle (SOLID - D) — with ABSOLUTELY ZERO boilerplate! ⚡

• ⚙️ Enjoy hassle-free, automatic nested dependency resolution using Python type hints with flexible lifetimes: ♻️ Singleton, 🧺 Scoped, and ♨️ Transient (inspired by .NET)

• 🚀 Zero runtime overhead — everything is resolved at startup!

• 🤝 100% compatible & based on FastAPI’s native dependency injection — no black boxes, no magic 🪄

• ♻️ Singleton support with automatic cleanup on application shutdown 🧹

• 🧪 Full support for FastAPI's dependency_overrides using type annotations — even with mock containers 💉

• 📦 Comes with the amazing APIController — the best class-based view (CBV) system ever seen in Python 🏆

• 🔧 Comes with customizable hooks, detailed logs & ... 📊

Installation 📥

$ pip install fastioc

Usage 💡

Sample interface & implementation:

from typing import Protocol

# Define the interfaces 📜

class INumberGenerator(protocol):

    def generate(self) -> int: ...


class IService(Protocol):
    
    def get_number(self) -> int: ...


# Implement concrete classes (Actual dependencies) 🏗️

class SimpleNumberGenerator(INumberGenerator):

    def generate(self) -> int:
        return 42

class ExampleService(IService):

    number_service: INumberGenerator # Nested dependency with type hints! ⚡

    def get_number(self) -> int:
        return self.number_service.generate()

Create container, register dependencies & use them in endpoints!

from fastapi import FastAPI

from fastioc import Container # Import the Container


# Create container and register dependency 📝
container = Container()
container.add_scoped(INumberGenerator, SimpleNumberGenetator)
container.add_scoped(IService, ExampleService) # Also available: add_singleton, add_transient


# Create FastAPI app and integrate it with the container 🪄
app = FastAPI()
container.injectify(app)


# Now your endpoints are injectified! 🎉
@app.get('/')
def index(service: IService) -> int: # Only use the interface - no 'Depends' needed
    return service.get_number() # 42 🤩

APIController 📦

from fastapi import FastAPI

from fastioc import Container
from fastioc.controller import APIController, get, post

# Create container & register dependencies 📝
container = Container()
container.add_scoped(IService, ExampleService)

# Define an example controller
class ExampleController(APIController):
    config = { # APIRouter parameters (+ IDE Autocomplete 🤩)
        "prefix": '/example',
        "tag": 'example',
        "container": container # ! DO NOT FORGET
    }

    service: IService # Available in all endpoints! ⚡

    @get('/read')
    def read_example(self) -> int:
        return self.service.get_number()

    @post('/set')
    def set_example(self) -> bool:
        # ...
        return True

app = FastAPI()
app.include_router(ExampleController.router()) # Get router from controller and include it

• APIController endpoints are injectified so you can also resolve dependencies in each endpoint separately.
• You can also resolve dependencies in __init__ of your controller.
