Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Explain this complex logic.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Support

Need help? Create a ticket on our support page for assistance with any issues or questions.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

1-5: Prefer the conventional .md extension unless .mdc is required by your tooling
Most Markdown renderers and in-repo previewers (GitHub, GitLab, IDEs, etc.) recognise .md by default. If there is no reader that specifically expects a “markdown-convention” (.mdc) suffix, consider renaming the file to fastapi-rules.md for out-of-the-box readability.


6-23: Unify punctuation across bullet points for professional polish
Some bullets end with a period, others don’t (e.g. l.18-19 lack it, l.20 contains one inside the parentheses, l.25 has a period). Pick one style and apply consistently – it improves readability and avoids super-lint noise.

Example fix for the two bullets that currently miss the trailing period:

- Use APIRouter for organizing routes by feature or resource
- Use path parameters, query parameters, and request bodies appropriately
+ Use APIRouter for organizing routes by feature or resource.
+ Use path parameters, query parameters, and request bodies appropriately.

Also applies to: 24-57


30-35: Expand the “Security & Secrets” section with rotation & encryption guidance
You already forbid hard-coding and logging secrets. Adding two more concrete practices makes the rule more actionable:

  • Secrets should be rotated regularly (12-month max, shorter for high-risk keys).
  • At rest, store secrets in an encrypted secret-manager (AWS SM, Vault, Azure KV, etc.) instead of .env files pushed to CI.

36-40: Mention structured/JSON logging for easier aggregation
Most FastAPI services end up behind CloudWatch, ELK, or similar stacks. Suggest emitting logs in a structured (JSON) format next to the “use logging instead of print” rule; this is a low-effort, high-value best practice.

Example wording:

- Prefer structured (JSON) logs so they can be parsed by log aggregators.
