Routing with Controllers, Schemas & Auto Docs | Build APIs with Litestar #2.

In this video, we build our Litestar API to organize our routes with class-based Controllers for cleaner, more maintainable code. We'll define our data models using lightweight Python dataclasses (no heavy Pydantic dependency needed!) to create separate read and write schemas.

You'll learn how to:

  • Structure routes elegantly with Controllers
  • Use standard library dataclasses as models
  • Automatically generate beautiful interactive OpenAPI documentation with Swagger UI, Redoc, Elements and Rapidoc out of the box
