1.0.77

🚀 New Feature: start_api() – Auto-Generated REST API

MSO now includes a powerful, zero-config API generation utility to expose MongoDB collections as a REST API using FastAPI.

✨ Highlights

• Instant API: Generate full-featured CRUD endpoints from your MongoDB database schema using:

  from mso.api import start_api start_api(db)

• Smart Schema Binding: Dynamically binds to collections using MSO's get_model() from your live MongoDB validator schemas.

• Pagination, Filtering, and Sorting:

  • Flexible query body with filter and sort support

  • ISO date string parsing into proper datetime objects

• Authentication Support:

  • Pass an auth_func(request) to enforce global or route-specific authentication using FastAPI Depends.

• Views Supported (Read-only):

  • Automatically detects MongoDB views and limits operations to safe queries.

• CORS Middleware: Enabled by default with customizable origins, methods, and headers.

 

🔐 Example Authentication Hook

async def my_auth(request: Request): token = request.headers.get("Authorization") if token != "Bearer secret123": raise HTTPException(status_code=403, detail="Unauthorized")

Then pass:

start_api(db, auth_func=my_auth)

🧪 Bonus Features

• Smart object ID parsing (ObjectId) with error handling

• Enum-based sorting: accepts "asc" / "desc" or 1 / -1

• Cleaner OpenAPI documentation with formatted tags
