Tortoise-ORM Starlette integration¶

We have a lightweight integration util tortoise.contrib.starlette which has a single function register_tortoise which sets up Tortoise-ORM on startup and cleans up on teardown.

See the Starlette Example

Reference¶

tortoise.contrib.starlette.register_tortoise(app, config=None, config_file=None, db_url=None, modules=None, generate_schemas=False)[source]¶

Registers startup and shutdown events to set-up and tear-down Tortoise-ORM inside a Starlette application.

You can configure using only one of config, config_file and (db_url, modules).
