Framework Integrations
In addition to the binding decorators lagom provides a number of integrations to popular web frameworks.
Starlette
To make integration with starlette simpler an integration is provided that can generate starlette routes.
Starlette endpoints are defined in the normal way. Any extra arguments are then provided by the container:
async def homepage(request, db: DBConnection = injectable):
user = db.fetch_data_for_user(request.user)
return PlainTextResponse(f"Hello {user.name}")
container = Container()
container[DBConnection] = DB("DSN_CONNECTION_GOES_HERE")
with_deps = StarletteIntegration(container)
routes = [
# This function takes the same arguments as starlette.routing.Route
with_deps.route("/", endpoint=homepage),
]
app = Starlette(routes=routes)
FastAPI
FastAPI already provides a method for dependency injection however if you'd like to use lagom instead an integration is provided.
Calling the method .depends
will provide a dependency in the format
that FastAPI expects:
Limitation warning This integration currently doesn't support invocation level singletons like the other frameworks do. If you
need this feature you may want to use either the bind_to_container
or magic_bind_to_container
decorators instead.
container = Container()
container[DBConnection] = DB("DSN_CONNECTION_GOES_HERE")
app = FastAPI()
deps = FastApiIntegration(container)
@app.get("/")
async def homepage(request, db = deps.depends(DBConnection)):
user = db.fetch_data_for_user(request.user)
return PlainTextResponse(f"Hello {user.name}")
Access the request
The fast api automatically binds the active request to the container. This enables the following definitions:
from starlette.requests import Request
class SomeExtendedRequest:
def __init(self, req: Request, db: Database):
pass
Each time SomeExtendedRequest is created the correct Request
object will be passed in.
Flask API
An integration is provided for flask. It takes the flask app
and a container then provides a wrapped route
decorator to use:
app = Flask(__name__)
container[Database] = Singleton(lambda: Database("connection details"))
app_with_deps = FlaskIntegration(app, container)
@app_with_deps.route("/save_it/<string:thing_to_save>", methods=['POST'])
def save_to_db(thing_to_save, db: Database = injectable):
db.save(thing_to_save)
return 'saved'
(taken from https://github.com/meadsteve/lagom-flask-example/)
The decorator leaves the original function unaltered so it can be used directly in tests.
Django
A django integration is currently under beta in the experimental module. See documentation here: Django Integration Docs
