Skills

A skill is a package of structured files that teaches an AI coding agent how to work with a specific tool or framework. The skill below was generated by Great Docs from this project’s documentation. Install it in your agent and it will be able to run commands, edit configuration, write content, and troubleshoot problems without step-by-step guidance from you.

Any agent — install with npx:

# FastAPI Chameleon

Adds integration of the Chameleon template language to FastAPI.

## Installation

```bash
pip install fastapi-chameleon
```

## API overview

### Setup

Point the library at your Chameleon templates folder once at app startup.

- `global_init`: Initialize the Chameleon template engine for your app

### Rendering views

Decorate FastAPI view functions to render templates, or build a response directly.

- `template`: Decorate a FastAPI view to render its return value through a Chameleon template
- `response`: Render a template and return it as a FastAPI response directly

### Error responses

Short-circuit a view to render a friendly error page with the right status code.

- `not_found`: Short-circuit the current view and render a friendly 404 page
- `generic_error`: Short-circuit the current view and render an error page with a custom status code

### Exceptions

Exception types raised by the library (the error helpers raise these internally).

- `exceptions.FastAPIChameleonException`
- `exceptions.FastAPIChameleonNotFoundException`
- `exceptions.FastAPIChameleonGenericException`
