Tortoise ORM

FastAPI Users provides the necessary tools to work with Tortoise ORM.

Installation

Install the database driver that corresponds to your DBMS:

pip install asyncpg
pip install aiomysql
pip install aiosqlite

For the sake of this tutorial from now on, we'll use a simple SQLite databse.

Setup User table

Let's declare our User ORM model.

{!./src/db_tortoise.py!}

As you can see, FastAPI Users provides an abstract model that will include base fields for our User table. You can of course add you own fields there to fit to your needs!

Create the database adapter

The database adapter of FastAPI Users makes the link between your database configuration and the users logic. Create it like this.

{!./src/db_tortoise.py!}

Notice that we pass a reference to your UserDB model.

Register Tortoise

For using Tortoise ORM we must register our models and database.

Tortoise ORM supports integration with FastAPI out-of-the-box. It will automatically bind startup and shutdown events.

{!./src/db_tortoise.py!}

!!! warning In production, it's strongly recommended to setup a migration system to update your SQL schemas. See https://tortoise-orm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migration.html.

Next steps

We will now configure an authentication method.
