FastAPI FS Router

A library for automatically loading routers in FastAPI applications based on file system structure.

English | 한국어

Features

• 📁 Automatically loads routers based on the file system structure
• 🔗 Maps directory structure directly to API paths
• 🎯 Detects and registers APIRouter instances automatically
• ⚙️ Supports custom prefixes for all routes
• 🚀 Prevents duplicate router registration
• 🛣️ Supports path parameters and route groups

Installation

pip install fastapi-fs-router

Usage

Basic Usage

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_fs_router import load_fs_router

app = FastAPI()

# Automatically load all routers from the routers directory
load_fs_router(app, "routers")

Directory Structure Example

routers/
├── users.py          # Maps to /users path
├── items.py          # Maps to /items path
└── v1/
    └── admin/
        └── users.py  # Maps to /v1/admin/users path

Router File Example

# routers/users.py
from fastapi import APIRouter

router = APIRouter()

@router.get("/")
def get_users():
    return {"users": []}

@router.get("/{user_id}")
def get_user(user_id: int):
    return {"user_id": user_id}

Using Custom Prefix

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_fs_router import load_fs_router

app = FastAPI()

# Add /api/v1 prefix to all routers
load_fs_router(app, "routers", prefix="/api/v1")

In this case, routers will be mapped as follows:

• routers/users.py → /api/v1/users
• routers/v1/admin/users.py → /api/v1/v1/admin/users
• routers/(empty)/admin/users.py → /api/admin/users
• routers/hello_world/admin/hello_world.py → /hello-world/admin/hello-world
• routers/{path_param}/admin.py → /{path_param}/admin

Path Transformation Rules

• Underscores (_) are converted to hyphens (-) except for path parameters
• Square brackets are converted to curly braces (e.g., [id] → {id})
• Parentheses are ignored (e.g., (empty))

API Reference

load_fs_router(app, route_dir, *, prefix="")

Loads file system-based routers into a FastAPI application.

Parameters:

• app (FastAPI): FastAPI application instance
• route_dir (Path | str): Directory path containing router files (default: "routers")
• prefix (str): Prefix to add to all routers (default: "")

Behavior:

1. Recursively traverses the specified directory
2. Finds APIRouter instances in .py files
3. Generates API paths based on directory structure
4. Registers routers with the FastAPI app
