```python from sqlalchemy import create_engine from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL = "sqlite:///./blog_app.db" engine = create_engine( SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL, connect_args={"check_same_thread": False} ) SessionLocal = sessionmaker(autocommit=False, autoflush=False, bind=engine) Base = declarative_base() def get_db(): db = SessionLocal() try: yield db finally: db.close() ``` 1. We import the necessary modules from SQLAlchemy: `create_engine`, `declarative_base`, and `sessionmaker`. 2. We define the SQLite database URL using the `SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL` variable, which points to the `blog_app.db` file in the current directory. 3. We create the SQLAlchemy engine using `create_engine` and pass the `SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL` along with a `connect_args` parameter to handle a SQLite-specific thread issue. 4. We create a `SessionLocal` class using `sessionmaker`, which will be used to create database sessions. 5. We create a `Base` class using `declarative_base`, which will be used as the base class for all SQLAlchemy models. 6. Finally, we define a `get_db` function, which will be used as a dependency in our API routes to get a database session. This function creates a new session, yields it for use, and then closes the session after it's no longer needed. ```python from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends from app.api.db.database import get_db from sqlalchemy.orm import Session router = APIRouter() @router.get("/blogs") def get_blogs(db: Session = Depends(get_db)): ``` In this example, the `get_blogs` route gets a database session using the `get_db` dependency function, which can then be used to interact with the database using SQLAlchemy.
