Custom Template🔗

If you want to generate custom *.py files then you can give a custom template directory to fastapi-code-generator with -t or --template-dir options of the command.

fastapi-code-generator will search for jinja2 template files in given template directory, for example some_jinja_templates/list_pets.py.

fastapi-code-generator --template-dir some_jinja_templates --output app --input api.yaml

These files will be rendered and written to the output directory. Also, the generated file names will be created with the template name and extension of *.py, for example app/list_pets.py will be a separate file generated from the jinja template alongside the default app/main.py

Variables🔗

You can use the following variables in the jinja2 templates

  • imports all imports statements
  • info all info statements
  • operations operations is list of operation
  • operation.type HTTP METHOD
  • operation.path Path
  • operation.snake_case_path Snake-cased Path
  • operation.response response object
  • operation.function_name function name is created operationId or METHOD + Path
  • operation.snake_case_arguments Snake-cased function arguments
  • operation.security Security
  • operation.summary a summary
  • operation.tags Tags

default template🔗

main.jinja2

from __future__ import annotations

from fastapi import FastAPI

    {% if info %}
    {% for key,value in info.items() %}

Custom Visitors🔗

Custom visitors allow you to pass custom variables to your custom templates.

E.g.

custom template🔗

custom-template.jinja2

#{ % custom_header %}
from __future__ import annotations

from fastapi import FastAPI

...

custom visitor🔗

custom-visitor.py

from typing import Dict, Optional

from fastapi_code_generator.parser import OpenAPIParser
from fastapi_code_generator.visitor import Visitor


def custom_visitor(parser: OpenAPIParser, model_path: Path) -> Dict[str, object]:
    return {'custom_header': 'My header'}


visit: Visitor = custom_visitor
