Asynchronous Dependency Injection in FastAPI: Techniques for Managing Asynchronous Tasks' Dependencies
FastAPI's Dependency Injection (DI) is a core tool for managing resource sharing and reuse, especially in asynchronous scenarios, avoiding code duplication and coupling. At its core, dependencies are declared using `Depends()`, where functions only need to declare the required resources, and resource acquisition is handled externally. At a basic level, synchronous dependencies use regular functions (e.g., `get_sync_db`), while asynchronous dependencies use `async def` (e.g., `get_async_db`), with FastAPI automatically handling `await` calls. For example, the asynchronous route function `read_users` injects an asynchronous database connection via `db=Depends(get_async_db)`. Advanced techniques include nested dependencies (e.g., combining authentication dependencies with database dependencies) and passing dependencies in background tasks. Pitfalls to watch for include forgetting `await`, cyclic dependencies, and type mismatches. Mastering these concepts enables efficient construction of decoupled, scalable asynchronous applications, enhancing development efficiency through rational resource reuse.

Git submodules are tools for reusing independent code (such as common libraries) in large projects, solving problems like duplicate copying and version synchronization. Core advantages include: space savings through code reuse, independent maintenance for easy modification and submission, and version specification by the main project to ensure consistency. Essentially, submodules are independent Git repositories, with the main project recording configurations and version references via .gitmodules and .git/config. Core usage steps: Add submodules to the main project using `git submodule add`; clone projects with submodules using `--recursive`, otherwise use `init+update`; commit main project references after modifying submodules; update with `git submodule update`; clean configurations when deleting submodules. Common issues: Empty repositories after cloning (supplement with `--recursive` or `update`), unupdated main project after submodule modifications (supplement with commits), version conflicts (agree on branches). Summary: Suitable for independently reusable dependencies, following the process: add → clone/update → modify and commit → update main project references, improving maintenance efficiency.
