FastAuth

🚀 FastAuth – Secure & Extensible Auth for FastAPI

FastAuth is a comprehensive authentication and authorization solution for FastAPI, offering token-based security, role-based access control (RBAC), and OAuth2 integration—all packaged in a clean, customizable library.

🛠️ Core Features

• Token-based Authentication:
  • Support for Access and Refresh tokens
  • Multiple strategies: JWT, Redis-backed sessions, database storage
  • Flexible token placement: headers, cookies, query parameters
• Authorization & RBAC:
  • Role/permission dependencies for route-level access control
• OAuth2 Support:
  • Built-in router for OAuth flows
  • Easily integrates with providers like GitHub via httpx_oauth
• User Management:
  • Pluggable User model interfaces
  • Service–Repository pattern for flexible data handling
  • ORM support: SQLAlchemy 2.0, Beanie, Tortoise
• Developer-friendly:
  • Prebuilt routers for login, refresh, logout endpoints
  • Extensible AuthManager for custom hooks (e.g. on_after_login, on_after_register)
  • Default password handling via Argon2/Bcrypt
  • Easy installation via pip; optional extras via [sqlalchemy], [oauth]
• Documentation & CI:
  • Auto-generated docs via MkDocs
  • GitHub Actions for CI/CD and documentation deployment

📦 Latest Release

fastapi-fastauth v1.1.0 was published on May 29, 2025, marking a stable beta with full support up to Python 3.13 .
