| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Refactoring Patterns |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ### 1. Extract Router Module |
| 18 | |
| 19 | **When to apply:** |
| 20 | - Main app.py > 200 lines |
| 21 | - Multiple resource endpoints in one file |
| 22 | - Related endpoints should be grouped |
| 23 | |
| 24 | **Before:** |
| 25 | ```python |
| 26 | # main.py (400+ lines) |
| 27 | from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException |
| 28 | |
| 29 | app = FastAPI() |
| 30 | |
| 31 | # User endpoints |
| 32 | @app.get("/users") |
| 33 | async def list_users(): |
| 34 | # 20 lines of logic |
| 35 | pass |
| 36 | |
| 37 | @app.get("/users/{user_id}") |
| 38 | async def get_user(user_id: int): |
| 39 | # 15 lines of logic |
| 40 | pass |
| 41 | |
| 42 | @app.post("/users") |
| 43 | async def create_user(user: UserCreate): |
| 44 | # 30 lines of logic |
| 45 | pass |
| 46 | |
| 47 | # Product endpoints |
| 48 | @app.get("/products") |
| 49 | async def list_products(): |
| 50 | # 25 lines of logic |
| 51 | pass |
| 52 | |
| 53 | # ... 300 more lines |
| 54 | ``` |
| 55 | |
| 56 | **After:** |
| 57 | ```python |
| 58 | # routers/users.py |
| 59 | from fastapi import APIRouter, HTTPException |
| 60 | |
| 61 | router = APIRouter(prefix="/users", tags=["users"]) |
| 62 | |
| 63 | @router.get("") |
| 64 | async def list_users(): |
| 65 | pass |
| 66 | |
| 67 | @router.get("/{user_id}") |
| 68 | async def get_user(user_id: int): |
| 69 | pass |
| 70 | |
| 71 | @router.post("") |
| 72 | async def create_user(user: UserCreate): |
| 73 | pass |
| 74 | |
| 75 | # routers/products.py |
| 76 | from fastapi import APIRouter |
| 77 | |
| 78 | router = APIRouter(prefix="/products", tags=["products"]) |
| 79 | |
| 80 | @router.get("") |
| 81 | async def list_products(): |
| 82 | pass |
| 83 | |
| 84 | # main.py (clean and minimal) |
| 85 | from fastapi import FastAPI |
| 86 | from routers import users, products |
| 87 | |
| 88 | app = FastAPI() |
| 89 | app.include_router(users.router) |
| 90 | app.include_router(products.router) |
| 91 | ``` |
| 92 | |
| 93 | **Checklist:** |
| 94 | - [ ] Each router in separate file |
| 95 | - [ ] Router prefix matches resource name |
| 96 | - [ ] Tags for OpenAPI documentation |
| 97 | - [ ] `__init__.py` exports routers |
| 98 | |
| 99 | ### 2. Extract Service Layer |
| 100 | |
| 101 | **When to apply:** |
| 102 | - Business logic in route handlers |
| 103 | - Same logic needed in multiple endpoints |
| 104 | - Complex operations spanning multiple models |
| 105 | |
| 106 | **Before:** |
| 107 | ```python |
| 108 | @router.post("/orders") |
| 109 | async def create_order(order: OrderCreate, db: Session = Depends(get_db)): |
| 110 | # Validate inventory |
| 111 | for item in order.items: |
| 112 | product = db.query(Product).filter(Product.id == item.product_id).first() |
| 113 | if not product or product.stock < item.quantity: |
| 114 | raise HTTPException(400, "Insufficient stock") |
| 115 | |
| 116 | # Calculate total |
| 117 | total = 0 |
| 118 | for item in order.items: |
| 119 | product = db.query(Product).filter(Product.id == item.product_id).first() |
| 120 | total += product.price * item.quantity |
| 121 | |
| 122 | # Create order |
| 123 | db_order = Order(user_id=order.user_id, total=total) |
| 124 | db.add(db_order) |
| 125 | db.commit() |
| 126 | |
| 127 | # Update inventory |
| 128 | for item in order.items: |
| 129 | product = db.query(Product).filter(Product.id == item.product_id).first() |
| 130 | product.stock -= item.quantity |
| 131 | db.commit() |
| 132 | |
| 133 | # Send confirmation email |
| 134 | await send_order_email(order.user_id, db_order.id) |
| 135 | |
| 136 | return db_order |
| 137 | ``` |
| 138 | |
| 139 | **After:** |
| 140 | ```python |
| 141 | # services/order_service.py |
| 142 | class OrderService: |
| 143 | def __init__(self, db: Session, inventory_service: InventoryService): |
| 144 | self.db = db |
| 145 | self.inventory_service = inventory_service |
| 146 | |
| 147 | async def create_order(self, order: OrderCreate) -> Order: |
| 148 | # Validate inventory |
| 149 | await self.inventory_service.validate_stock(order.items) |
| 150 | |
| 151 | # Calculate total |
| 152 | total = await self._calculate_total(order.items) |
| 153 | |
| 154 | # Create order |
| 155 | db_order = await self._persist_order(order, total) |
| 156 | |
| 157 | # Update inventory |
| 158 | await self.inventory_service.deduct_stock(order.items) |
| 159 | |
| 160 | # Send confirmation |
| 161 | await self._send_confirmation(order.user_id, db_order.id) |
| 162 | |
| 163 | return db_order |
| 164 | |
| 165 | async def _calculate_total(self, items: list[OrderItem]) -> float: |
| 166 | total = 0 |
| 167 | for item in items: |
| 168 | product = self.db.query(Product).filter(Product.id == item.product_id).first() |
| 169 | total += product.price * item.quantity |
| 170 | return total |
| 171 | |
| 172 | # routers/orders.py (clean) |
| 173 | @router.post("") |
| 174 | async def create_order( |
| 175 | order: OrderCreate, |
| 176 | order_service: OrderService = Depends(get_order_service) |
| 177 | ): |
| 178 | return await order_service.create_order(order) |
| 179 | ``` |
| 180 | |
| 181 | ### 3. Implement Repository Pattern |
| 182 | |
| 183 | **When to apply:** |
| 184 | - Database queries scattered across codebase |
| 185 | - Same queries repeated in multiple places |
| 186 | - Need to swap database implementation |
| 187 | |
| 188 | **Repository Pattern:** |
| 189 | ```python |
| 190 | # repositories/base.py |
| 191 | from abc import ABC, abstractmethod |
| 192 | from typing import Generic, TypeVar, Optional, List |
| 193 | |
| 194 | T = TypeVar("T") |
| 195 | |
| 196 | class BaseRepository(ABC, Generic[T]): |
| 197 | @abstractmethod |
| 198 | async def get(self, id: int) -> Optional[T]: |
| 199 | pass |
| 200 | |
| 201 | @abstractmethod |
| 202 | async def get_all(self, skip: int = 0, limit: i |
