Implementation Guide

API Design Patterns

RESTful API Architecture:

Create a FastAPI application with authentication and response models. Define a Pydantic UserResponse model with id, email, and name fields. Implement list_users and create_user endpoints with HTTPBearer security dependency. The list endpoint returns a list of UserResponse objects, while the create endpoint accepts a UserCreate model and returns a single UserResponse.

GraphQL Implementation:

Use Strawberry to define GraphQL types. Create a User type with id, email, and name fields. Define a Query type with a users resolver that returns a list of User objects asynchronously. Generate the schema by passing the Query type to strawberry.Schema.

Database Integration Patterns
