Python FastAPI Tutorial (Part 8): Routers - Organizing Routes into Modules with APIRouter

Description

In this video, we'll be learning how to organize our FastAPI application using APIRouter. As our app has grown throughout this series, our main.py file has become long and difficult to maintain. We'll fix that by creating a routers directory and splitting our API routes into separate modules—one for users and one for posts. This is a common pattern in real-world FastAPI development and is similar to Blueprints if you're coming from Flask. By the end of this video, you'll know how to structure your FastAPI projects for better maintainability and scalability. Let's get started...
