Fastapi alias for url/router/endpoint (set same handler for them)

Question

How I can make alias (call the same handler) for similar url/routers like https://myapi/users/5 and https://myapi/users/me (my id placed in token and it's 5).

@router.get("/{employee_id}}", status_code=200, response_model=schemas.EmployeeOut)
async def get_employee(
        employee_id: int = Path(default=..., ge=0, description='Id получаемого сотрудника.', example=8),
        token: str = Depends(config.oauth2_scheme),
        postgres_session: AsyncSession = Depends(database.get_db)):
    try:
        token_payload = services.get_token_payload(token=token)
        if token_payload['role'] in (config.OPERATOR_ROLE, config.OPERATOR_ROLE, config.CLINIC_ROLE):
            return (await postgres_session.execute(statement=models.employees.select().where(
                models.employees.c.id == employee_id))).fetchone()
        else:
            raise config.known_errors['forbidden']
    except Exception as error:
        services.error_handler(error)

# Just as example!
@router.get("/me}", status_code=200, response_model=List[schemas.TicketOut])
async def get_me(
        token: str = Depends(config.oauth2_scheme)):
    token_payload = services.get_token_payload(token=token)
    get_employee(employee_id=token_payload['sub'])

These functions is almost identical, the one difference is that in the second function no path parameter employee_id, but it's anyway are present in the token.

You can wonder why you need me url - it's just for convenience

Answer 1

The /me endpoint needs to be above the /{employee_id}
