FastAPI-VO is a lightweight library for creating simple FastAPI view objects just by `picking` or `omitting` parts of a model. It is designed to be simple, intuitive and easy to use.

It is so simple that doesn't need much explanation. Just check some examples below.

## Requirements

A recent and currently supported version of Python (right now, Python supports versions 3.6 and above).

**FastAPI-VO** only requires **FastAPI**, but it will be automatically installed when you install FastAPI-VO.

## Installation

```console
$ pip install fastapi-vo
---> 100%
Successfully installed fastapi-vo
```

## Example

For an introduction to FastAPI, see the FastAPI documentation.

Here's a quick example. ✨

👀 Full code preview

```Python
from typing import List
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

from fastapi_vo import Omit, Pick

class User(BaseModel):
username: str
password: str
is_active: bool = True
is_admin: bool = False

Auth = Pick(User, ["username", "password"], classname="Auth")
NoPassword = Omit(User, "password", classname="NoPasswordUser")

app = FastAPI()
johndoe = User(
username="johndoe",
password="secret",
is_admin=False,
is_active=True,
)
janedoe = User(
username="janedoe",
password="janesecret",
is_admin=True,
is_active=True,
)

@app.get("/users/", response_model=List[NoPassword])
async def list_users():
return [johndoe, janedoe]

@app.get("/users/john/", response_model=NoPassword)
async def get_user():
return johndoe

@app.get("/login/", response_model=NoPassword)
async def login(user: Auth):
# some authentication logic in here
return user
```

### Create a Model

Let's create a model called `user` with:

* `username`
* `password`
* `is_active`
* `is_admin`

```Python hl_lines="1 4-8"
from pydantic import BaseModel

class User(BaseModel):
username: str
password: str
is_active: bool = True
is_admin: bool = False

johndoe = User(
username="johndoe",
password="secret",
is_admin=False,
is_active=True,
)

janedoe = User(
username="janedoe",
password="janeSecret",
is_admin=True,
is_active=True,
)
```

Now we create 2 instances of the **User** model:

```Python hl_lines="11-16 18-23"
from pydantic import BaseModel

class User(BaseModel):
username: str
password: str
is_active: bool = True
is_admin: bool = False

johndoe = User(
username="johndoe",
password="secret",
is_admin=False,
is_active=True,
)

janedoe = User(
username="janedoe",
password="janeSecret",
is_admin=True,
is_active=True,
)
```

### Create a Route

Now we are going to create a FastAPI app with a route to get the user data.

```Python hl_lines="1 26 29-31"
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

class User(BaseModel):
username: str
password: str
is_active: bool = True
is_admin: bool = False

johndoe = User(
username="johndoe",
password="secret",
is_admin=False,
is_active=True,
)

janedoe = User(
username="janedoe",
password="janeSecret",
is_admin=True,
is_active=True,
)

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/user/john", response_model=User)
async def get_john():
return johndoe
```

This way, FastAPI will return all the user data, including the **password**, and it is not a good thing to do.

### Omitting a field

Now let's use the **Omit** function to return everything from the user **but** the password.

```Python hl_lines="4 31"
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

from fastapi_vo import Omit

class User(BaseModel):
username: str
password: str
is_active: bool = True
is_admin: bool = False

johndoe = User(
username="johndoe",
password="secret",
is_admin=False,
is_active=True,
)

janedoe = User(
username="janedoe",
password="janeSecret",
is_admin=True,
is_active=True,
)

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/user/john", response_model=Omit(User, "password"))
async def get_john():
return johndoe
```

### Multiple variations of the same model

If you want to use multiple variations of the same class, you have to give it a new `classname` to avoid conflicts. Another approach is to assign it to a **variable** for reuse.

```Python hl_lines="1 15 35-37 40"
from typing import List
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

from fastapi_vo import Omit

class User(BaseModel):
username: str
password: str
is_active: bool = True
is_admin: bool = False

NoPassword = Omit(User, "password", classname="NoPasswordUser")

johndoe = User(
username="johndoe",
password="secret",
is_admin=False,
is_active=True,
)

janedoe = User(
username="janedoe",
password="janeSecret",
is_admin=True,
is_active=True,
)

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/users", response_model=List[NoPassword])
async def list_users():
return [johndoe, janedoe]

@app.get("/user/john", response_model=NoPassword)
async def get_john():
return johndoe
```

### Picking a field

Now let's create a login route with another variation of the user model by picking some fields.

```Python hl_lines="5 16 46-50"
from typing import List
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

from fastapi_vo import Omit, Pick

class User(BaseModel):
username: str
password: str
is_active: bool = True
is_admin: bool = False

NoPassword = Omit(User, "password", classname="NoPasswordUser")
Auth = Pick(User, ["username", "password"], classname="Auth")

johndoe = User(
username="johndoe",
password="secret",
is_admin=False,
is_active=True,
)

janedoe = User(
username="janedoe",
password="janeSecret",
is_admin=True,
is_active=True,
)

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/users", response_model=List[NoPassword])
async def list_users():
return [johndoe, janedoe]

@app.get("/user/john", response_model=NoPassword)
async def get_john():
return johndoe

@app.get("/login", response_model=NoPassword)
async def login(user: Auth):
# some authentication logic in here
return user
```
