Example

I want to be able to do something like this:

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request

app = FastAPI()

def on_permissions(request: Request = Depends()):
    pass

@app.get("/{user_id}", dependencies=[Depends(OnReadUser)]
def read_user(user_id: int):
    return crud_user.get(id=user_id)

Description

I need to use the request in a dependency function. The goal is to create a permission/access control list and use it to authorize the user to use an endpoint based on the request fields and the permissions.

Additional context

If that's not possible, is there a way to get the endpoint path like what is described here: https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/486 , but before sending it to the endpoint itself?

@Kludex Did you find a solution? Would want to use Request in dependency function too

[Kludex]

@HarrySky You don't need to use Depends() on Request, just use like:

def on_permissions(request: Request):
    pass

Because you're already passing the request from the endpoint :)
