+# Pagination & search
+
+This example builds an articles listing endpoint that supports **offset pagination**, **cursor pagination**, **full-text search**, **faceted filtering**, and **sorting** — all from a single `CrudFactory` definition.
+
+## Models
+
+```python title="models.py"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/models.py"
+```
+
+## Schemas
+
+```python title="schemas.py"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/schemas.py"
+```
+
+## Crud
+
+Declare `searchable_fields`, `facet_fields`, and `order_fields` once on [`CrudFactory`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.CrudFactory). All endpoints built from this class share the same defaults and can override them per call.
+
+```python title="crud.py"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/crud.py"
+```
+
+## Session dependency
+
+```python title="db.py"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/db.py"
+```
+
+!!! info "Deploy a Postgres DB with docker"
+    ```bash
+    docker run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres -p 5432:5432 postgres:18-alpine
+    ```
+
+
+## App
+
+```python title="app.py"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/app.py"
+```
+
+
+## Routes
+
+```python title="routes.py:1:16"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/routes.py:1:16"
+```
+
+### Offset pagination
+
+Best for admin panels or any UI that needs a total item count and numbered pages.
+
+```python title="routes.py:19:37"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/routes.py:19:37"
+```
+
+**Example request**
+
+```
+GET /articles/offset?page=2&items_per_page=10&search=fastapi&status=published&order_by=title&order=asc
+```
+
+**Example response**
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "pagination_type": "offset",
+  "data": [
+    { "id": "3f47ac69-...", "title": "FastAPI tips", "status": "published", ... }
+  ],
+  "pagination": {
+    "total_count": 42,
+    "pages": 5,
+    "page": 2,
+    "items_per_page": 10,
+    "has_more": true
+  },
+  "filter_attributes": {
+    "status": ["archived", "draft", "published"],
+    "name": ["backend", "frontend", "python"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`filter_attributes` always reflects the values visible **after** applying the active filters. Use it to populate filter dropdowns on the client.
+
+To skip the `COUNT(*)` query for better performance on large tables, pass `include_total=False`. `pagination.total_count` will be `null` in the response, while `has_more` remains accurate.
+
+### Cursor pagination
+
+Best for feeds, infinite scroll, or any high-throughput API where offset performance degrades.
+
+```python title="routes.py:40:58"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/routes.py:40:58"
+```
+
+**Example request**
+
+```
+GET /articles/cursor?items_per_page=10&status=published&order_by=created_at&order=desc
+```
+
+**Example response**
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "pagination_type": "cursor",
+  "data": [
+    { "id": "3f47ac69-...", "title": "FastAPI tips", "status": "published", ... }
+  ],
+  "pagination": {
+    "next_cursor": "eyJ2YWx1ZSI6ICIzZjQ3YWM2OS0uLi4ifQ==",
+    "prev_cursor": null,
+    "items_per_page": 10,
+    "has_more": true
+  },
+  "filter_attributes": {
+    "status": ["published"],
+    "name": ["backend", "python"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Pass `next_cursor` as the `cursor` query parameter on the next request to advance to the next page.
+
+### Unified endpoint (both strategies)
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.3.0`"
+
+[`paginate()`](../module/crud.md#unified-paginate--both-strategies-on-one-endpoint) lets a single endpoint support both strategies via a `pagination_type` query parameter. The `pagination_type` field in the response acts as a discriminator for frontend tooling.
+
+```python title="routes.py:61:79"
+--8<-- "docs_src/examples/pagination_search/routes.py:61:79"
+```
+
+**Offset request** (default)
+
+```
+GET /articles/?pagination_type=offset&page=1&items_per_page=10
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "pagination_type": "offset",
+  "data": ["..."],
+  "pagination": { "total_count": 42, "pages": 5, "page": 1, "items_per_page": 10, "has_more": true }
+}
+```
+
+**Cursor request**
+
+```
+GET /articles/?pagination_type=cursor&items_per_page=10
+GET /articles/?pagination_type=cursor&items_per_page=10&cursor=eyJ2YWx1ZSI6...
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "pagination_type": "cursor",
+  "data": ["..."],
+  "pagination": { "next_cursor": "eyJ2YWx1ZSI6...", "prev_cursor": null, "items_per_page": 10, "has_more": true }
+}
+```
+
+## Search behaviour
+
+Both endpoints inherit the same `searchable_fields` declared on `ArticleCrud`:
+
+Search is **case-insensitive** and uses a `LIKE %query%` pattern. Pass a [`SearchConfig`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.search.SearchConfig) instead of a plain string to control case sensitivity or switch to `match_mode="all"` (AND across all fields instead of OR).
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.crud import SearchConfig
+
+# Both title AND body must contain "fastapi"
+result = await ArticleCrud.offset_paginate(
+    session,
+    search=SearchConfig(query="fastapi", case_sensitive=True, match_mode="all"),
+    search_fields=[Article.title, Article.body],
+)
+```

+# Migrating to v2.0
+
+This page covers every breaking change introduced in **v2.0** and the steps required to update your code.
+
+---
+
+## CRUD
+
+### `schema` is now required in `offset_paginate()` and `cursor_paginate()`
+
+Calls that omit `schema` will now raise a `TypeError` at runtime.
+
+Previously `schema` was optional; omitting it returned raw SQLAlchemy model instances inside the response. It is now a required keyword argument and the response always contains serialized schema instances.
+
+=== "Before (`v1`)"
+
+    ```python
+    # schema omitted — returned raw model instances
+    result = await UserCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, page=1)
+    result = await UserCrud.cursor_paginate(session=session, cursor=token)
+    ```
+
+=== "Now (`v2`)"
+
+    ```python
+    result = await UserCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, page=1, schema=UserRead)
+    result = await UserCrud.cursor_paginate(session=session, cursor=token, schema=UserRead)
+    ```
+
+### `as_response` removed from `create()`, `get()`, and `update()`
+
+Passing `as_response` to these methods will raise a `TypeError` at runtime.
+
+The `as_response=True` shorthand is replaced by passing a `schema` directly. The return value is a `Response[schema]` when `schema` is provided, or the raw model instance when it is not.
+
+=== "Before (`v1`)"
+

+    user = await UserCrud.update(session=session, obj=data, filters, schema=UserRead)
+    ```
+
+### `delete()`: `as_response` renamed and return type changed
+
+`as_response` is gone, and the plain (non-response) call no longer returns `True`.
+
+Two changes were made to `delete()`:
+
+1. The `as_response` parameter is renamed to `return_response`.
+2. When called without `return_response=True`, the method now returns `None` on success instead of `True`.
+
+=== "Before (`v1`)"
+
+    ```python
+    ok = await UserCrud.delete(session=session, filters=filters)
+    if ok:  # True on success
+        ...
+
+    response = await UserCrud.delete(session=session, filters=filters, as_response=True)
+    ```
+
+=== "Now (`v2`)"
+
+    ```python
+    await UserCrud.delete(session=session, filters=filters)  # returns None
+
+    response = await UserCrud.delete(session=session, filters=filters, return_response=True)
+    ```
+
+### `paginate()` alias removed
+
+Any call to `crud.paginate(...)` will raise `AttributeError` at runtime.
+
+The `paginate` shorthand was an alias for `offset_paginate`. It has been removed; call `offset_paginate` directly.
+
+=== "Before (`v1`)"
+
+    ```python
+    result = await UserCrud.paginate(session=session, page=2, items_per_page=20, schema=UserRead)
+    ```
+
+=== "Now (`v2`)"
+
+    ```python
+    result = await UserCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, page=2, items_per_page=20, schema=UserRead)
+    ```
+
+---
+
+## Exceptions
+
+### Missing `api_error` raises `TypeError` at class definition time
+
+Unfinished or stub exception subclasses that previously compiled fine will now fail on import.
+
+In `v1`, a subclass without `api_error` would only fail when the exception was raised. In `v2`, `__init_subclass__` validates this at class definition time.
+
+=== "Before (`v1`)"
+
+    ```python
+    class MyError(ApiException):
+        pass  # fine until raised
+    ```
+
+=== "Now (`v2`)"
+
+    ```python
+    class MyError(ApiException):
+        pass  # TypeError: MyError must define an 'api_error' class attribute.
+    ```
+
+For shared base classes that are not meant to be raised directly, use `abstract=True`:
+
+```python
+class BillingError(ApiException, abstract=True):
+    """Base for all billing-related errors — not raised directly."""
+
+class PaymentRequiredError(BillingError):
+    api_error = ApiError(code=402, msg="Payment Required", desc="...", err_code="BILLING-402")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Schemas
+
+### `Pagination` alias removed
+
+`Pagination` was already deprecated in `v1` and is fully removed in `v2`, you now need to use [`OffsetPagination`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.OffsetPagination) or [`CursorPagination`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.CursorPagination).

+
+## CRUD
+
+### Facet keys now always use the full relationship chain
+
+In `v2`, relationship facet fields used only the terminal column key (e.g. `"name"` for `Role.name`) and only prepended the relationship name when two facet fields shared the same column key. In `v3`, facet keys **always** include the full relationship chain joined by `__`, regardless of collisions.

+    ```
+
+---
+
+### `*_params` dependencies consolidated into per-paginate methods
+
+The six individual dependency methods (`offset_params`, `cursor_params`, `paginate_params`, `filter_params`, `search_params`, `order_params`) have been **removed** and replaced by three consolidated methods that bundle pagination, search, filter, and order into a single `Depends()` call.
+
+| Removed | Replacement |
+|---|---|
+| `offset_params()` + `filter_params()` + `search_params()` + `order_params()` | `offset_paginate_params()` |
+| `cursor_params()` + `filter_params()` + `search_params()` + `order_params()` | `cursor_paginate_params()` |
+| `paginate_params()` + `filter_params()` + `search_params()` + `order_params()` | `paginate_params()` |
+
+Each new method accepts `search`, `filter`, and `order` boolean toggles (all `True` by default) to disable features you don't need.
+
+=== "Before (`v2`)"
+
+    ```python
+    from fastapi_toolsets.crud import OrderByClause
+
+    @router.get("/offset")
+    async def list_articles_offset(
+        session: SessionDep,
+        params: Annotated[dict, Depends(ArticleCrud.offset_params(default_page_size=20))],
+        filter_by: Annotated[dict, Depends(ArticleCrud.filter_params())],
+        order_by: Annotated[OrderByClause | None, Depends(ArticleCrud.order_params(default_field=Article.created_at))],
+        search: str | None = None,
+    ) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[ArticleRead]:
+        return await ArticleCrud.offset_paginate(
+            session=session,
+            **params,
+            search=search,
+            filter_by=filter_by or None,
+            order_by=order_by,

+            dict,

+                ArticleCrud.offset_paginate_params(
+                    default_page_size=20,

+        ],
+    ) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[ArticleRead]:
+        return await ArticleCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, **params, schema=ArticleRead)
+    ```
+
+The same pattern applies to `cursor_paginate_params()` and `paginate_params()`. To disable a feature, pass the toggle:
+
+```python
+# No search or ordering, only pagination + filtering
+ArticleCrud.offset_paginate_params(search=False, order=False)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Models
+
+The lifecycle event system has been rewritten. Callbacks are now registered with a module-level [`listens_for`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.listens_for) decorator and dispatched by [`EventSession`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.EventSession), replacing the mixin-based approach from `v2`.
+
+### `WatchedFieldsMixin` and `@watch` removed
+
+Importing `WatchedFieldsMixin` or `watch` will raise `ImportError`.
+
+Model method callbacks (`on_create`, `on_delete`, `on_update`) and the `@watch` decorator are replaced by:
+
+1. **`__watched_fields__`** — a plain class attribute to restrict which field changes trigger `UPDATE` events (replaces `@watch`).
+2. **`@listens_for`** — a module-level decorator to register callbacks for one or more [`ModelEvent`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.ModelEvent) types (replaces `on_create` / `on_delete` / `on_update` methods).
+
+=== "Before (`v2`)"
+
+    ```python
+    from fastapi_toolsets.models import WatchedFieldsMixin, watch
+
+    @watch("status")
+    class Order(Base, UUIDMixin, WatchedFieldsMixin):
+        __tablename__ = "orders"
+
+        status: Mapped[str]
+
+        async def on_create(self):
+            await notify_new_order(self.id)
+
+        async def on_update(self, changes):
+            if "status" in changes:
+                await notify_status_change(self.id, changes["status"])
+
+        async def on_delete(self):
+            await notify_order_cancelled(self.id)
+    ```
+
+=== "Now (`v3`)"
+
+    ```python
+    from fastapi_toolsets.models import ModelEvent, UUIDMixin, listens_for
+
+    class Order(Base, UUIDMixin):
+        __tablename__ = "orders"
+        __watched_fields__ = ("status",)
+
+        status: Mapped[str]
+
+    @listens_for(Order, [ModelEvent.CREATE])
+    async def on_order_created(order: Order, event_type: ModelEvent, changes: None):
+        await notify_new_order(order.id)
+
+    @listens_for(Order, [ModelEvent.UPDATE])
+    async def on_order_updated(order: Order, event_type: ModelEvent, changes: dict):
+        if "status" in changes:
+            await notify_status_change(order.id, changes["status"])
+
+    @listens_for(Order, [ModelEvent.DELETE])
+    async def on_order_deleted(order: Order, event_type: ModelEvent, changes: None):
+        await notify_order_cancelled(order.id)
+    ```
+
+### `EventSession` now required
+
+Without `EventSession`, lifecycle callbacks will silently stop firing.
+
+Callbacks are now dispatched inside `EventSession.commit()` rather than via background tasks. Pass it as the session class when creating your session factory:
+
+=== "Before (`v2`)"
+
+    ```python
+    from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import async_sessionmaker, create_async_engine
+
+    engine = create_async_engine("postgresql+asyncpg://...")
+    SessionLocal = async_sessionmaker(engine, expire_on_commit=False)
+    ```
+
+=== "Now (`v3`)"
+
+    ```python
+    from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import async_sessionmaker, create_async_engine
+    from fastapi_toolsets.models import EventSession
+
+    engine = create_async_engine("postgresql+asyncpg://...")
+    SessionLocal = async_sessionmaker(engine, expire_on_commit=False, class_=EventSession)
+    ```
+
+!!! note
+    If you use `create_db_session` from `fastapi_toolsets.pytest`, the session already uses `EventSession` — no changes needed in tests.

+# CLI
+
+Typer-based command-line interface for managing your FastAPI application, with built-in fixture commands integration.
+
+## Installation
+
+=== "uv"
+    ``` bash
+    uv add "fastapi-toolsets[cli]"
+    ```
+
+=== "pip"
+    ``` bash
+    pip install "fastapi-toolsets[cli]"
+    ```
+
+## Overview
+
+The `cli` module provides a `manager` entry point built with [Typer](https://typer.tiangolo.com/). It allow custom commands to be added in addition of the fixture commands when a [`FixtureRegistry`](../reference/fixtures.md#fastapi_toolsets.fixtures.registry.FixtureRegistry) and a database context are configured.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configure the CLI in your `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[tool.fastapi-toolsets]
+cli = "myapp.cli:cli"                   # Custom Typer app
+fixtures = "myapp.fixtures:registry"    # FixtureRegistry instance
+db_context = "myapp.db:db_context"      # Async context manager for sessions
+```
+
+All fields are optional. Without configuration, the `manager` command still works but no command are available.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Manager commands
+manager --help
+
+ Usage: manager [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
+
+ FastAPI utilities CLI.

+```
+
+## Custom CLI
+
+You can extend the CLI by providing your own Typer app. The `manager` entry point will merge your app's commands with the built-in ones:
+
+```python
+# myapp/cli.py
+import typer
+
+cli = typer.Typer()
+
+@cli.command()
+def hello():
+    print("Hello from my app!")
+```
+
+```toml
+[tool.fastapi-toolsets]
+cli = "myapp.cli:cli"

+# CRUD
+
+Generic async CRUD operations for SQLAlchemy models with search, pagination, and many-to-many support.
+
+!!! info
+    This module has been coded and tested to be compatible with PostgreSQL only.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `crud` module provides [`AsyncCrud`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud), a base class with a full suite of async database operations, and [`CrudFactory`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.CrudFactory), a convenience function to instantiate it for a given model.
+
+## Creating a CRUD class
+
+### Factory style
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.crud import CrudFactory
+from myapp.models import User
+
+UserCrud = CrudFactory(model=User)
+```
+
+[`CrudFactory`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.CrudFactory) dynamically creates a class named `AsyncUserCrud` with `User` as its model. This is the most concise option for straightforward CRUD with no custom logic.
+
+### Subclass style
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.3.0`"
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory import AsyncCrud
+from myapp.models import User
+
+class UserCrud(AsyncCrud[User]):
+    model = User
+    searchable_fields = [User.username, User.email]
+    default_load_options = [selectinload(User.role)]
+```
+
+Subclassing [`AsyncCrud`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud) directly is the preferred style when you need to add custom methods or when the configuration is complex enough to benefit from a named class body.
+
+### Adding custom methods
+
+```python
+class UserCrud(AsyncCrud[User]):
+    model = User
+
+    @classmethod
+    async def get_active(cls, session: AsyncSession) -> list[User]:
+        return await cls.get_multi(session, filters=[User.is_active == True])
+```
+
+### Sharing a custom base across multiple models
+
+Define a generic base class with the shared methods, then subclass it for each model:
+
+```python
+from typing import Generic, TypeVar
+from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
+from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
+from fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory import AsyncCrud
+
+T = TypeVar("T", bound=DeclarativeBase)
+
+class AuditedCrud(AsyncCrud[T], Generic[T]):
+    """Base CRUD with custom function"""
+
+    @classmethod
+    async def get_active(cls, session: AsyncSession):
+        return await cls.get_multi(session, filters=[cls.model.is_active == True])
+
+
+class UserCrud(AuditedCrud[User]):
+    model = User
+    searchable_fields = [User.username, User.email]
+```
+
+You can also use the factory shorthand with the same base by passing `base_class`:
+
+```python
+UserCrud = CrudFactory(User, base_class=AuditedCrud)
+```
+
+## Basic operations
+
+!!! info "`get_or_none` added in `v2.2`"
+
+```python
+# Create
+user = await UserCrud.create(session=session, obj=UserCreateSchema(username="alice"))
+
+# Get one (raises NotFoundError if not found)
+user = await UserCrud.get(session=session, filters=[User.id == user_id])
+
+# Get one or None (never raises)
+user = await UserCrud.get_or_none(session=session, filters=[User.id == user_id])
+
+# Get first or None
+user = await UserCrud.first(session=session, filters=[User.email == email])
+
+# Get multiple
+users = await UserCrud.get_multi(session=session, filters=[User.is_active == True])
+
+# Update
+user = await UserCrud.update(session=session, obj=UserUpdateSchema(username="bob"), filters=[User.id == user_id])
+
+# Delete
+await UserCrud.delete(session=session, filters=[User.id == user_id])
+
+# Count / exists
+count = await UserCrud.count(session=session, filters=[User.is_active == True])
+exists = await UserCrud.exists(session=session, filters=[User.email == email])
+```
+
+## Fetching a single record
+
+Three methods fetch a single record — choose based on how you want to handle the "not found" case and whether you need strict uniqueness:
+
+| Method | Not found | Multiple results |
+|---|---|---|
+| `get` | raises `NotFoundError` | raises `MultipleResultsFound` |
+| `get_or_none` | returns `None` | raises `MultipleResultsFound` |
+| `first` | returns `None` | returns the first match silently |
+
+Use `get` when the record must exist (e.g. a detail endpoint that should return 404):
+
+```python
+user = await UserCrud.get(session=session, filters=[User.id == user_id])
+```
+
+Use `get_or_none` when the record may not exist but you still want strict uniqueness enforcement:
+
+```python
+user = await UserCrud.get_or_none(session=session, filters=[User.email == email])
+if user is None:
+    ...  # handle missing case without catching an exception
+```
+
+Use `first` when you only care about any one match and don't need uniqueness:
+
+```python
+user = await UserCrud.first(session=session, filters=[User.is_active == True])
+```
+
+## Pagination
+
+!!! info "Added in `v1.1` (only offset_pagination via `paginate` if `<v1.1`)"
+
+Three pagination methods are available.  All return a typed response whose `pagination_type` field tells clients which strategy was used.
+
+| | `offset_paginate` | `cursor_paginate` | `paginate` |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Return type | `OffsetPaginatedResponse` | `CursorPaginatedResponse` | either, based on `pagination_type` param |
+| Total count | Yes | No | / |
+| Jump to arbitrary page | Yes | No | / |
+| Performance on deep pages | Degrades | Constant | / |
+| Stable under concurrent inserts | No | Yes | / |
+| Use case | Admin panels, numbered pagination | Feeds, APIs, infinite scroll | single endpoint, both strategies |
+
+### Offset pagination
+
+```python
+from typing import Annotated
+from fastapi import Depends
+
+@router.get("")
+async def get_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(UserCrud.offset_paginate_params())],
+) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await UserCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, **params, schema=UserRead)
+```
+
+The [`offset_paginate`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud.offset_paginate) method returns an [`OffsetPaginatedResponse`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.OffsetPaginatedResponse):
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "pagination_type": "offset",
+  "data": ["..."],
+  "pagination": {
+    "total_count": 100,
+    "pages": 5,
+    "page": 1,
+    "items_per_page": 20,
+    "has_more": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Skipping the COUNT query
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.4.1`"
+
+By default `offset_paginate` runs two queries: one for the page items and one `COUNT(*)` for `total_count`. On large tables the `COUNT` can be expensive. Pass `include_total=False` to `offset_paginate_params()` to skip it:
+
+```python
+@router.get("")
+async def get_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(UserCrud.offset_paginate_params(include_total=False))],
+) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await UserCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, **params, schema=UserRead)
+```
+
+### Cursor pagination
+
+```python
+@router.get("")
+async def list_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(UserCrud.cursor_paginate_params())],
+) -> CursorPaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await UserCrud.cursor_paginate(session=session, **params, schema=UserRead)
+```
+
+The [`cursor_paginate`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud.cursor_paginate) method returns a [`CursorPaginatedResponse`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.CursorPaginatedResponse):
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "pagination_type": "cursor",
+  "data": ["..."],
+  "pagination": {
+    "next_cursor": "eyJ2YWx1ZSI6ICIzZjQ3YWM2OS0uLi4ifQ==",
+    "prev_cursor": null,
+    "items_per_page": 20,
+    "has_more": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Pass `next_cursor` as the `cursor` query parameter on the next request to advance to the next page. `prev_cursor` is set on pages 2+ and points back to the first item of the current page. Both are `null` when there is no adjacent page.
+
+#### Choosing a cursor column
+
+The cursor column is set once on [`CrudFactory`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.CrudFactory) via the `cursor_column` parameter. It must be monotonically ordered for stable results:
+
+- Auto-increment integer PKs
+- UUID v7 PKs
+- Timestamps
+
+!!! warning
+    Random UUID v4 PKs are **not** suitable as cursor columns because their ordering is non-deterministic.
+
+!!! note
+    `cursor_column` is required. Calling [`cursor_paginate`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud.cursor_paginate) on a CRUD class that has no `cursor_column` configured raises a `ValueError`.
+
+The cursor value is URL-safe base64-encoded (no padding) when returned to the client and decoded back to the correct Python type on the next request. The following SQLAlchemy column types are supported:
+
+| SQLAlchemy type | Python type |
+|---|---|
+| `Integer`, `BigInteger`, `SmallInteger` | `int` |
+| `Uuid` | `uuid.UUID` |
+| `DateTime` | `datetime.datetime` |
+| `Date` | `datetime.date` |
+| `Float`, `Numeric` | `decimal.Decimal` |
+
+```python
+# Paginate by the primary key
+PostCrud = CrudFactory(model=Post, cursor_column=Post.id)
+
+# Paginate by a timestamp column instead
+PostCrud = CrudFactory(model=Post, cursor_column=Post.created_at)
+```
+
+### Unified endpoint (both strategies)
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.3.0`"
+
+[`paginate()`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud.paginate) dispatches to `offset_paginate` or `cursor_paginate` based on a `pagination_type` query parameter, letting you expose **one endpoint** that supports both strategies.  The `pagination_type` field in the response tells clients which strategy was used, enabling frontend discriminated-union typing.
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.schemas import PaginatedResponse
+
+@router.get("")
+async def list_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(UserCrud.paginate_params())],
+) -> PaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await UserCrud.paginate(session, **params, schema=UserRead)
+```
+
+```
+GET /users?pagination_type=offset&page=2&items_per_page=10
+GET /users?pagination_type=cursor&cursor=eyJ2YWx1ZSI6...&items_per_page=10
+```
+
+## Search
+
+Two search strategies are available, both compatible with [`offset_paginate`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud.offset_paginate) and [`cursor_paginate`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud.cursor_paginate).
+
+| | Full-text search | Faceted search |
+|---|---|---|
+| Input | Free-text string | Exact column values |
+| Relationship support | Yes | Yes |
+| Use case | Search bars | Filter dropdowns |
+
+!!! info "You can use both search strategies in the same endpoint!"
+
+### Full-text search
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.2.1`"
+    The model's primary key is always included in `searchable_fields` automatically, so searching by ID works out of the box without any configuration. When no `searchable_fields` are declared, only the primary key is searched.
+
+Declare `searchable_fields` on the CRUD class. Relationship traversal is supported via tuples:
+
+```python
+PostCrud = CrudFactory(
+    model=Post,
+    searchable_fields=[
+        Post.title,
+        Post.content,
+        (Post.author, User.username),  # search across relationship
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+You can override `searchable_fields` per call with `search_fields`:
+
+```python
+result = await UserCrud.offset_paginate(
+    session=session,
+    search_fields=[User.country],
+)
+```
+
+This allows searching with both [`offset_paginate`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud.offset_paginate) and [`cursor_paginate`](../reference/crud.md#fastapi_toolsets.crud.factory.AsyncCrud.cursor_paginate):
+
+```python
+@router.get("")
+async def get_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(UserCrud.offset_paginate_params())],
+) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await UserCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, **params, schema=UserRead)
+```
+
+```python
+@router.get("")
+async def get_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(UserCrud.cursor_paginate_params())],
+) -> CursorPaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await UserCrud.cursor_paginate(session=session, **params, schema=UserRead)
+```
+
+### Faceted search
+
+!!! info "Added in `v1.2`"
+
+Declare `facet_fields` on the CRUD class to return distinct column values alongside paginated results. This is useful for populating filter dropdowns or building faceted search UIs.
+
+Facet fields use the same syntax as `searchable_fields` — direct columns or relationship tuples:
+
+```python
+UserCrud = CrudFactory(
+    model=User,
+    facet_fields=[
+        User.status,
+        User.country,
+        (User.role, Role.name),  # value from a related model
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+You can override `facet_fields` per call:
+
+```python
+result = await UserCrud.offset_paginate(
+    session=session,
+    facet_fields=[User.country],
+)
+```
+
+The distinct values are returned in the `filter_attributes` field of [`PaginatedResponse`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.PaginatedResponse):
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "data": ["..."],
+  "pagination": { "..." },
+  "filter_attributes": {
+    "status": ["active", "inactive"],
+    "country": ["DE", "FR", "US"],
+    "role__name": ["admin", "editor", "viewer"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Use `filter_by` to pass the client's chosen filter values directly — no need to build SQLAlchemy conditions by hand. Any unknown key raises [`InvalidFacetFilterError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.InvalidFacetFilterError).
+
+!!! info "The keys in `filter_by` are the same keys the client received in `filter_attributes`."
+    Keys use `__` as a separator for the full relationship chain. A direct column `User.status` produces `"status"`. A relationship tuple `(User.role, Role.name)` produces `"role__name"`. A deeper chain `(User.role, Role.permission, Permission.name)` produces `"role__permission__name"`.
+
+`filter_by` and `filters` can be combined — both are applied with AND logic.
+
+Facet filtering is built into the consolidated params dependencies. When `filter=True` (the default), facet fields are exposed as query parameters and collected into `filter_by` automatically:
+
+```python
+from typing import Annotated
+
+from fastapi import Depends
+
+UserCrud = CrudFactory(
+    model=User,
+    facet_fields=[User.status, User.country, (User.role, Role.name)],
+)
+
+@router.get("", response_model_exclude_none=True)
+async def list_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(UserCrud.offset_paginate_params())],
+) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await UserCrud.offset_paginate(
+        session=session,
+        **params,
+        schema=UserRead,
+    )
+```
+
+Both single-value and multi-value query parameters work:
+
+```
+GET /users?status=active                      → filter_by={"status": ["active"]}
+GET /users?status=active&country=FR           → filter_by={"status": ["active"], "country": ["FR"]}
+GET /users?role__name=admin&role__name=editor → filter_by={"role__name": ["admin", "editor"]}  (IN clause)
+```
+
+## Sorting
+
+!!! info "Added in `v1.3`"
+
+Declare `order_fields` on the CRUD class to expose client-driven column ordering via `order_by` and `order` query parameters.
+
+```python
+UserCrud = CrudFactory(
+    model=User,
+    order_fields=[
+        User.name,
+        User.created_at,
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+Ordering is built into the consolidated params dependencies. When `order=True` (the default), `order_by` and `order` query parameters are exposed and resolved into an `OrderByClause` automatically:
+
+```python
+from typing import Annotated
+
+from fastapi import Depends
+
+@router.get("")
+async def list_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(UserCrud.offset_paginate_params(
+        default_order_field=User.created_at,
+    ))],
+) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await UserCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, **params, schema=UserRead)
+```
+
+The dependency adds two query parameters to the endpoint:
+
+| Parameter  | Type            |
+| ---------- | --------------- |
+| `order_by` | `str | null`   |
+| `order`    | `asc` or `desc` |
+
+```
+GET /users?order_by=name&order=asc   → ORDER BY users.name ASC
+GET /users?order_by=name&order=desc  → ORDER BY users.name DESC
+```
+
+An unknown `order_by` value raises [`InvalidOrderFieldError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.InvalidOrderFieldError) (HTTP 422).
+
+You can also pass `order_fields` directly to override the class-level defaults:
+
+```python
+params = UserCrud.offset_paginate_params(order_fields=[User.name])
+```
+
+## Relationship loading
+
+!!! info "Added in `v1.1`"
+
+By default, SQLAlchemy relationships are not loaded unless explicitly requested. Instead of using `lazy="selectin"` on model definitions (which is implicit and applies globally), define a `default_load_options` on the CRUD class to control loading strategy explicitly.
+
+!!! warning
+    Avoid using `lazy="selectin"` on model relationships. It fires silently on every query, cannot be disabled per-call, and can cause unexpected cascading loads through deep relationship chains. Use `default_load_options` instead.
+
+```python
+from sqlalchemy.orm import selectinload
+
+ArticleCrud = CrudFactory(
+    model=Article,
+    default_load_options=[
+        selectinload(Article.category),
+        selectinload(Article.tags),
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+`default_load_options` applies automatically to all read operations (`get`, `first`, `get_multi`, `offset_paginate`, `cursor_paginate`). When `load_options` is passed at call-site, it **fully replaces** `default_load_options` for that query — giving you precise per-call control:
+
+```python
+# Only loads category, tags are not loaded
+article = await ArticleCrud.get(
+    session=session,
+    filters=[Article.id == article_id],
+    load_options=[selectinload(Article.category)],
+)
+
+# Loads nothing — useful for write-then-refresh flows or lightweight checks
+articles = await ArticleCrud.get_multi(session=session, load_options=[])
+```
+
+## Many-to-many relationships
+
+Use `m2m_fields` to map schema fields containing lists of IDs to SQLAlchemy relationships. The CRUD class resolves and validates all IDs before persisting:
+
+```python
+PostCrud = CrudFactory(
+    model=Post,
+    m2m_fields={"tag_ids": Post.tags},
+)
+
+post = await PostCrud.create(session=session, obj=PostCreateSchema(title="Hello", tag_ids=[1, 2, 3]))
+```
+
+## Upsert
+
+Atomic `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE` using PostgreSQL:
+
+```python
+await UserCrud.upsert(
+    session=session,
+    obj=UserCreateSchema(email="alice@example.com", username="alice"),
+    index_elements=[User.email],
+    set_={"username"},
+)
+```
+
+## Response serialization
+
+!!! info "Added in `v1.1`"
+
+Pass a Pydantic schema class to `create`, `get`, `update`, or `offset_paginate` to serialize the result directly into that schema and wrap it in a [`Response[schema]`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.Response) or [`PaginatedResponse[schema]`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.PaginatedResponse):
+
+```python
+class UserRead(PydanticBase):
+    id: UUID
+    username: str
+
+@router.get(
+    "/{uuid}",
+    responses=generate_error_responses(NotFoundError),
+)
+async def get_user(session: SessionDep, uuid: UUID) -> Response[UserRead]:
+    return await crud.UserCrud.get(
+        session=session,
+        filters=[User.id == uuid],
+        schema=UserRead,
+    )
+
+@router.get("")
+async def list_users(
+    session: SessionDep,
+    params: Annotated[dict, Depends(crud.UserCrud.offset_paginate_params())],
+) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[UserRead]:
+    return await crud.UserCrud.offset_paginate(session=session, **params, schema=UserRead)
+```
+
+The schema must have `from_attributes=True` (or inherit from [`PydanticBase`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.PydanticBase)) so it can be built from SQLAlchemy model instances.

+# DB
+
+SQLAlchemy async session management with transactions, table locking, and row-change polling.
+
+!!! info
+    This module has been coded and tested to be compatible with PostgreSQL only.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `db` module provides helpers to create FastAPI dependencies and context managers for `AsyncSession`, along with utilities for nested transactions, table lock and polling for row changes.
+
+## Session dependency
+
+Use [`create_db_dependency`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.create_db_dependency) to create a FastAPI dependency that yields a session and auto-commits on success:
+
+```python
+from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine, async_sessionmaker
+from fastapi_toolsets.db import create_db_dependency
+
+engine = create_async_engine(url="postgresql+asyncpg://...", future=True)
+session_maker = async_sessionmaker(bind=engine, expire_on_commit=False)
+
+get_db = create_db_dependency(session_maker=session_maker)
+
+@router.get("/users")
+async def list_users(session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)):
+    ...
+```
+
+## Session context manager
+
+Use [`create_db_context`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.create_db_context) for sessions outside request handlers (e.g. background tasks, CLI commands):
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.db import create_db_context
+
+db_context = create_db_context(session_maker=session_maker)
+
+async def seed():
+    async with db_context() as session:
+        ...
+```
+
+## Nested transactions
+
+[`get_transaction`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.get_transaction) handles savepoints automatically, allowing safe nesting:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.db import get_transaction
+
+async def create_user_with_role(session=session):
+    async with get_transaction(session=session):
+        ...
+        async with get_transaction(session=session):  # uses savepoint
+            ...
+```
+
+## Table locking
+
+[`lock_tables`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.lock_tables) acquires PostgreSQL table-level locks before executing critical sections:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.db import lock_tables
+
+async with lock_tables(session=session, tables=[User], mode="EXCLUSIVE"):
+    # No other transaction can modify User until this block exits
+    ...
+```
+
+Available lock modes are defined in [`LockMode`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.LockMode): `ACCESS_SHARE`, `ROW_SHARE`, `ROW_EXCLUSIVE`, `SHARE_UPDATE_EXCLUSIVE`, `SHARE`, `SHARE_ROW_EXCLUSIVE`, `EXCLUSIVE`, `ACCESS_EXCLUSIVE`.
+
+## Row-change polling
+
+[`wait_for_row_change`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.wait_for_row_change) polls a row until a specific column changes value, useful for waiting on async side effects:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.db import wait_for_row_change
+
+# Wait up to 30s for order.status to change
+await wait_for_row_change(
+    session=session,
+    model=Order,
+    pk_value=order_id,
+    columns=[Order.status],
+    interval=1.0,
+    timeout=30.0,
+)
+```
+
+## Creating a database
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.1`"
+
+[`create_database`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.create_database) creates a database at a given URL. It connects to *server_url* and issues a `CREATE DATABASE` statement:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.db import create_database
+
+SERVER_URL = "postgresql+asyncpg://postgres:postgres@localhost/postgres"
+
+await create_database(db_name="myapp_test", server_url=SERVER_URL)
+```
+
+For test isolation with automatic cleanup, use [`create_worker_database`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.utils.create_worker_database) from the `pytest` module instead — it handles drop-before, create, and drop-after automatically.
+
+## Cleaning up tables
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.1`"
+
+[`cleanup_tables`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.cleanup_tables) truncates all tables:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.db import cleanup_tables
+
+@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
+async def clean(db_session):
+    yield
+    await cleanup_tables(session=db_session, base=Base)
+```

+# Dependencies
+
+FastAPI dependency factories for automatic model resolution from path and body parameters.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `dependencies` module provides two factory functions that create FastAPI dependencies to fetch a model instance from the database automatically — either from a path parameter or from a request body field — and inject it directly into your route handler.
+
+## `PathDependency`
+
+[`PathDependency`](../reference/dependencies.md#fastapi_toolsets.dependencies.PathDependency) resolves a model from a URL path parameter and injects it into the route handler. Raises [`NotFoundError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.NotFoundError) automatically if the record does not exist.
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.dependencies import PathDependency
+
+# Plain callable
+UserDep = PathDependency(model=User, field=User.id, session_dep=get_db)
+
+# Annotated
+SessionDep = Annotated[AsyncSession, Depends(get_db)]
+UserDep = PathDependency(model=User, field=User.id, session_dep=SessionDep)
+
+@router.get("/users/{user_id}")
+async def get_user(user: User = UserDep):
+    return user
+```
+
+By default the parameter name is inferred from the field (`user_id` for `User.id`). You can override it:
+
+```python
+UserDep = PathDependency(model=User, field=User.id, session_dep=get_db, param_name="id")
+
+@router.get("/users/{id}")
+async def get_user(user: User = UserDep):
+    return user
+```
+
+## `BodyDependency`
+
+[`BodyDependency`](../reference/dependencies.md#fastapi_toolsets.dependencies.BodyDependency) resolves a model from a field in the request body. Useful when a body contains a foreign key and you want the full object injected:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.dependencies import BodyDependency
+
+# Plain callable
+RoleDep = BodyDependency(model=Role, field=Role.id, session_dep=get_db, body_field="role_id")
+
+# Annotated
+SessionDep = Annotated[AsyncSession, Depends(get_db)]
+RoleDep = BodyDependency(model=Role, field=Role.id, session_dep=SessionDep, body_field="role_id")
+
+
+@router.post("/users")
+async def create_user(body: UserCreateSchema, role: Role = RoleDep):
+    user = User(username=body.username, role=role)
+    ...
+```

+# Exceptions
+
+Structured API exceptions with consistent error responses and automatic OpenAPI documentation.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `exceptions` module provides a set of pre-built HTTP exceptions and a FastAPI exception handler that formats all errors — including validation errors — into a uniform [`ErrorResponse`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.ErrorResponse).
+
+## Setup
+
+Register the exception handlers on your FastAPI app at startup:
+
+```python
+from fastapi import FastAPI
+from fastapi_toolsets.exceptions import init_exceptions_handlers
+
+app = FastAPI()
+init_exceptions_handlers(app=app)
+```
+
+This registers handlers for:
+
+- [`ApiException`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.ApiException) — all custom exceptions below
+- `HTTPException` — Starlette/FastAPI HTTP errors
+- `RequestValidationError` — Pydantic request validation (422)
+- `ResponseValidationError` — Pydantic response validation (422)
+- `Exception` — unhandled errors (500)
+
+It also patches `app.openapi()` to replace the default Pydantic 422 schema with a structured example matching the `ErrorResponse` format.
+
+## Built-in exceptions
+
+| Exception | Status | Default message |
+|-----------|--------|-----------------|
+| [`UnauthorizedError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.UnauthorizedError) | 401 | Unauthorized |
+| [`ForbiddenError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.ForbiddenError) | 403 | Forbidden |
+| [`NotFoundError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.NotFoundError) | 404 | Not Found |
+| [`ConflictError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.ConflictError) | 409 | Conflict |
+| [`NoSearchableFieldsError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.NoSearchableFieldsError) | 400 | No Searchable Fields |
+| [`InvalidFacetFilterError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.InvalidFacetFilterError) | 400 | Invalid Facet Filter |
+| [`InvalidOrderFieldError`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.InvalidOrderFieldError) | 422 | Invalid Order Field |
+
+### Per-instance overrides
+
+All built-in exceptions accept optional keyword arguments to customise the response for a specific raise site without changing the class defaults:
+
+| Argument | Effect |
+|----------|--------|
+| `detail` | Overrides both `str(exc)` (log output) and the `message` field in the response body |
+| `desc` | Overrides the `description` field |
+| `data` | Overrides the `data` field |
+
+```python
+raise NotFoundError(detail="User 42 not found", desc="No user with that ID exists in the database.")
+```
+
+## Custom exceptions
+
+Subclass [`ApiException`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.ApiException) and define an `api_error` class variable:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.exceptions import ApiException
+from fastapi_toolsets.schemas import ApiError
+
+class PaymentRequiredError(ApiException):
+    api_error = ApiError(
+        code=402,
+        msg="Payment Required",
+        desc="Your subscription has expired.",
+        err_code="BILLING-402",
+    )
+```
+
+!!! warning
+    Subclasses that do not define `api_error` raise a `TypeError` at **class creation time**, not at raise time.
+
+### Custom `__init__`
+
+Override `__init__` to compute `detail`, `desc`, or `data` dynamically, then delegate to `super().__init__()`:
+
+```python
+class OrderValidationError(ApiException):
+    api_error = ApiError(
+        code=422,
+        msg="Order Validation Failed",
+        desc="One or more order fields are invalid.",
+        err_code="ORDER-422",
+    )
+
+    def __init__(self, *field_errors: str) -> None:
+        super().__init__(
+            f"{len(field_errors)} validation error(s)",
+            desc=", ".join(field_errors),
+            data={"errors": [{"message": e} for e in field_errors]},
+        )
+```
+
+### Intermediate base classes
+
+Use `abstract=True` when creating a shared base that is not meant to be raised directly:
+
+```python
+class BillingError(ApiException, abstract=True):
+    """Base for all billing-related errors."""
+
+class PaymentRequiredError(BillingError):
+    api_error = ApiError(code=402, msg="Payment Required", desc="...", err_code="BILLING-402")
+
+class SubscriptionExpiredError(BillingError):
+    api_error = ApiError(code=402, msg="Subscription Expired", desc="...", err_code="BILLING-402-EXP")
+```
+
+## OpenAPI response documentation
+
+Use [`generate_error_responses`](../reference/exceptions.md#fastapi_toolsets.exceptions.exceptions.generate_error_responses) to add error schemas to your endpoint's OpenAPI spec:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.exceptions import generate_error_responses, NotFoundError, ForbiddenError
+
+@router.get(
+    "/users/{id}",
+    responses=generate_error_responses(NotFoundError, ForbiddenError),
+)
+async def get_user(...): ...
+```
+
+Multiple exceptions sharing the same HTTP status code are grouped under one entry, each appearing as a named example keyed by its `err_code`. This keeps the OpenAPI UI readable when several error variants map to the same status.

+Dependency-aware database seeding with context-based loading strategies.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `fixtures` module lets you define named fixtures with dependencies between them, then load them into the database in the correct order. Fixtures can be scoped to contexts (e.g. base data, testing data) so that only the relevant ones are loaded for each environment.
+
+## Defining fixtures
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.fixtures import FixtureRegistry, Context
+
+fixtures = FixtureRegistry()
+
+@fixtures.register
+def roles():
+    return [
+        Role(id=1, name="admin"),
+        Role(id=2, name="user"),
+    ]
+
+@fixtures.register(depends_on=["roles"], contexts=[Context.TESTING])
+def test_users():
+    return [
+        User(id=1, username="alice", role_id=1),
+        User(id=2, username="bob", role_id=2),
+    ]
+```
+
+Dependencies declared via `depends_on` are resolved topologically — `roles` will always be loaded before `test_users`.
+
+## Loading fixtures
+
+By context with [`load_fixtures_by_context`](../reference/fixtures.md#fastapi_toolsets.fixtures.utils.load_fixtures_by_context):
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.fixtures import load_fixtures_by_context
+
+async with db_context() as session:
+    await load_fixtures_by_context(session, fixtures, Context.TESTING)
+```
+
+Directly by name with [`load_fixtures`](../reference/fixtures.md#fastapi_toolsets.fixtures.utils.load_fixtures):
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.fixtures import load_fixtures
+
+async with db_context() as session:
+    await load_fixtures(session, fixtures, "roles", "test_users")
+```
+
+Both functions return a `dict[str, list[...]]` mapping each fixture name to the list of loaded instances.
+
+## Contexts
+
+[`Context`](../reference/fixtures.md#fastapi_toolsets.fixtures.enum.Context) is an enum with predefined values:
+
+| Context | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `Context.BASE` | Core data required in all environments |
+| `Context.TESTING` | Data only loaded during tests |
+| `Context.DEVELOPMENT` | Data only loaded in development |
+| `Context.PRODUCTION` | Data only loaded in production |
+
+A fixture with no `contexts` defined takes `Context.BASE` by default.
+
+### Custom contexts
+
+Plain strings and any `Enum` subclass are accepted wherever a `Context` enum is expected.
+
+```python
+from enum import Enum
+
+class AppContext(str, Enum):
+    STAGING = "staging"
+    DEMO = "demo"
+
+@fixtures.register(contexts=[AppContext.STAGING])
+def staging_data():
+    return [Config(key="feature_x", enabled=True)]
+
+await load_fixtures_by_context(session, fixtures, AppContext.STAGING)
+```
+
+### Default context for a registry
+
+Pass `contexts` to `FixtureRegistry` to set a default for all fixtures registered in it:
+
+```python
+testing_registry = FixtureRegistry(contexts=[Context.TESTING])
+
+@testing_registry.register          # implicitly contexts=[Context.TESTING]
+def test_orders():
+    return [Order(id=1, total=99)]
+```
+
+### Same fixture name, multiple context variants
+
+The same fixture name may be registered under different (non-overlapping) context sets. When multiple contexts are loaded together, all matching variants are merged:
+
+```python
+@fixtures.register(contexts=[Context.BASE])
+def users():
+    return [User(id=1, username="admin")]
+
+@fixtures.register(contexts=[Context.TESTING])
+def users():
+    return [User(id=2, username="tester")]
+
+# loads both admin and tester
+await load_fixtures_by_context(session, fixtures, Context.BASE, Context.TESTING)
+```
+
+Registering two variants with overlapping context sets raises `ValueError`.
+
+## Load strategies
+
+[`LoadStrategy`](../reference/fixtures.md#fastapi_toolsets.fixtures.enum.LoadStrategy) controls how the fixture loader handles rows that already exist:
+
+| Strategy | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `LoadStrategy.INSERT` | Insert only, fail on duplicates |
+| `LoadStrategy.MERGE` | Insert or update on conflict (default) |
+| `LoadStrategy.SKIP_EXISTING` | Skip rows that already exist |
+
+```python
+await load_fixtures_by_context(
+    session, fixtures, Context.BASE, strategy=LoadStrategy.SKIP_EXISTING
+)
+```
+
+## Merging registries
+
+Split fixture definitions across modules and merge them:
+
+```python
+from myapp.fixtures.dev import dev_fixtures
+from myapp.fixtures.prod import prod_fixtures
+
+fixtures = FixtureRegistry()
+fixtures.include_registry(registry=dev_fixtures)
+fixtures.include_registry(registry=prod_fixtures)
+```
+
+Fixtures with the same name are allowed as long as their context sets do not overlap. Conflicting contexts raise `ValueError`.
+
+## Looking up fixture instances
+
+[`get_obj_by_attr`](../reference/fixtures.md#fastapi_toolsets.fixtures.utils.get_obj_by_attr) retrieves a specific instance from a fixture function by attribute value — useful when building cross-fixture `depends_on` relationships:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.fixtures import get_obj_by_attr
+
+@fixtures.register(depends_on=["roles"])
+def users():
+    admin_role = get_obj_by_attr(roles, "name", "admin")
+    return [User(id=1, username="alice", role_id=admin_role.id)]
+```
+
+Raises `StopIteration` if no matching instance is found.
+
+## Pytest integration
+
+Use [`register_fixtures`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.plugin.register_fixtures) to expose each fixture in your registry as an injectable pytest fixture named `fixture_{name}` by default:
+
+```python
+# conftest.py
+import pytest
+from fastapi_toolsets.pytest import create_db_session, register_fixtures
+from app.fixtures import registry
+from app.models import Base
+
+DATABASE_URL = "postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/test_db"
+
+@pytest.fixture
+async def db_session():
+    async with create_db_session(database_url=DATABASE_URL, base=Base, cleanup=True) as session:
+        yield session
+
+register_fixtures(registry=registry, namespace=globals())
+```
+
+```python
+# test_users.py
+async def test_user_can_login(fixture_users: list[User], fixture_roles: list[Role]):
+    ...
+```
+
+The load order is resolved automatically from the `depends_on` declarations in your registry. Each generated fixture receives `db_session` as a dependency and returns the list of loaded model instances.
+
+## CLI integration
+
+Fixtures can be triggered from the CLI. See the [CLI module](cli.md) for setup instructions.

+# Logger
+
+Lightweight logging utilities with consistent formatting and uvicorn integration.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `logger` module provides two helpers: one to configure the root logger (and uvicorn loggers) at startup, and one to retrieve a named logger anywhere in your codebase.
+
+## Setup
+
+Call [`configure_logging`](../reference/logger.md#fastapi_toolsets.logger.configure_logging) once at application startup:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.logger import configure_logging
+
+configure_logging(level="INFO")
+```
+
+This sets up a stdout handler with a consistent format and also configures uvicorn's access and error loggers so all log output shares the same style.
+
+## Getting a logger
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.logger import get_logger
+
+logger = get_logger(name=__name__)
+logger.info("User created")
+```
+
+When called without arguments, [`get_logger`](../reference/logger.md#fastapi_toolsets.logger.get_logger) auto-detects the caller's module name via frame inspection:
+
+```python
+# Equivalent to get_logger(name=__name__)
+logger = get_logger()
+```

+# Metrics
+
+Prometheus metrics integration with a decorator-based registry and multi-process support.
+
+## Installation
+
+=== "uv"
+    ``` bash
+    uv add "fastapi-toolsets[metrics]"
+    ```
+
+=== "pip"
+    ``` bash
+    pip install "fastapi-toolsets[metrics]"
+    ```
+
+## Overview
+
+The `metrics` module provides a [`MetricsRegistry`](../reference/metrics.md#fastapi_toolsets.metrics.registry.MetricsRegistry) to declare Prometheus metrics with decorators, and an [`init_metrics`](../reference/metrics.md#fastapi_toolsets.metrics.handler.init_metrics) function to mount a `/metrics` endpoint on your FastAPI app.
+
+## Setup
+
+```python
+from fastapi import FastAPI
+from fastapi_toolsets.metrics import MetricsRegistry, init_metrics
+
+app = FastAPI()
+metrics = MetricsRegistry()
+
+init_metrics(app=app, registry=metrics)
+```
+
+This mounts the `/metrics` endpoint that Prometheus can scrape.
+
+## Declaring metrics
+
+### Providers
+
+Providers are called once at startup by `init_metrics`. The return value (the Prometheus metric object) is stored in the registry and can be retrieved later with [`registry.get(name)`](../reference/metrics.md#fastapi_toolsets.metrics.registry.MetricsRegistry.get).
+
+Use providers when you want **deferred initialization**: the Prometheus metric is not registered with the global `CollectorRegistry` until `init_metrics` runs, not at import time. This is particularly useful for testing — importing the module in a test suite without calling `init_metrics` leaves no metrics registered, avoiding cross-test pollution.
+
+It is also useful when metrics are defined across multiple modules and merged with `include_registry`: any code that needs a metric can call `metrics.get()` on the shared registry instead of importing the metric directly from its origin module.
+
+If neither of these applies to you, declaring metrics at module level (e.g. `HTTP_REQUESTS = Counter(...)`) is simpler and equally valid.
+
+```python
+from prometheus_client import Counter, Histogram
+
+@metrics.register
+def http_requests():
+    return Counter("http_requests_total", "Total HTTP requests", ["method", "status"])
+
+@metrics.register
+def request_duration():
+    return Histogram("request_duration_seconds", "Request duration")
+```
+
+To use a provider's metric elsewhere (e.g. in a middleware), call `metrics.get()` inside the handler — **not** at module level, as providers are only initialized when `init_metrics` runs:
+
+```python
+async def metrics_middleware(request: Request, call_next):
+    response = await call_next(request)
+    metrics.get("http_requests").labels(
+        method=request.method, status=response.status_code
+    ).inc()
+    return response
+```
+
+### Collectors
+
+Collectors are called on every scrape. Use them for metrics that reflect current state (e.g. gauges).
+
+!!! warning "Declare the metric at module level"
+    Do **not** instantiate the Prometheus metric inside the collector function. Doing so recreates it on every scrape, raising `ValueError: Duplicated timeseries in CollectorRegistry`. Declare it once at module level instead:
+
+```python
+from prometheus_client import Gauge
+
+_queue_depth = Gauge("queue_depth", "Current queue depth")
+
+@metrics.register(collect=True)
+def collect_queue_depth():
+    _queue_depth.set(get_current_queue_depth())
+```
+
+## Merging registries
+
+Split metrics definitions across modules and merge them:
+
+```python
+from myapp.metrics.http import http_metrics
+from myapp.metrics.db import db_metrics
+
+metrics = MetricsRegistry()
+metrics.include_registry(registry=http_metrics)
+metrics.include_registry(registry=db_metrics)
+```
+
+## Multi-process mode
+
+Multi-process support is enabled automatically when the `PROMETHEUS_MULTIPROC_DIR` environment variable is set. No code changes are required.
+
+!!! warning "Environment variable name"
+    The correct variable is `PROMETHEUS_MULTIPROC_DIR` (not `PROMETHEUS_MULTIPROCESS_DIR`).

+# Models
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.0`"
+
+Reusable SQLAlchemy 2.0 mixins for common column patterns, designed to be composed freely on any `DeclarativeBase` model.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `models` module provides mixins that each add a single, well-defined column behaviour. They work with standard SQLAlchemy 2.0 declarative syntax and are fully compatible with `AsyncSession`.
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin
+
+class Article(Base, UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin):
+    __tablename__ = "articles"
+
+    title: Mapped[str]
+    content: Mapped[str]
+```
+
+All timestamp columns are timezone-aware (`TIMESTAMPTZ`). All defaults are server-side (`clock_timestamp()`), so they are also applied when inserting rows via raw SQL outside the ORM.
+
+## Mixins
+
+### [`UUIDMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.UUIDMixin)
+
+Adds a `id: UUID` primary key generated server-side by PostgreSQL using `gen_random_uuid()`. The value is retrieved via `RETURNING` after insert, so it is available on the Python object immediately after `flush()`.
+
+!!! warning "Requires PostgreSQL 13+"
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin
+
+class User(Base, UUIDMixin):
+    __tablename__ = "users"
+
+    username: Mapped[str]
+
+# id is None before flush
+user = User(username="alice")
+session.add(user)
+await session.flush()
+print(user.id)  # UUID('...')
+```
+
+### [`UUIDv7Mixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.UUIDv7Mixin)
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.3`"
+
+Adds a `id: UUID` primary key generated server-side by PostgreSQL using `uuidv7()`. It's a time-ordered UUID format that encodes a millisecond-precision timestamp in the most significant bits, making it naturally sortable and index-friendly.
+
+!!! warning "Requires PostgreSQL 18+"
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDv7Mixin
+
+class Event(Base, UUIDv7Mixin):
+    __tablename__ = "events"
+
+    name: Mapped[str]
+
+# id is None before flush
+event = Event(name="user.signup")
+session.add(event)
+await session.flush()
+print(event.id)  # UUID('019...')
+```
+
+### [`CreatedAtMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.CreatedAtMixin)
+
+Adds a `created_at: datetime` column set to `clock_timestamp()` on insert. The column has no `onupdate` hook — it is intentionally immutable after the row is created.
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, CreatedAtMixin
+
+class Order(Base, UUIDMixin, CreatedAtMixin):
+    __tablename__ = "orders"
+
+    total: Mapped[float]
+```
+
+### [`UpdatedAtMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.UpdatedAtMixin)
+
+Adds an `updated_at: datetime` column set to `clock_timestamp()` on insert and automatically updated to `clock_timestamp()` on every ORM-level update (via SQLAlchemy's `onupdate` hook).
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, UpdatedAtMixin
+
+class Post(Base, UUIDMixin, UpdatedAtMixin):
+    __tablename__ = "posts"
+
+    title: Mapped[str]
+
+post = Post(title="Hello")
+await session.flush()
+await session.refresh(post)
+
+post.title = "Hello World"
+await session.flush()
+await session.refresh(post)
+print(post.updated_at)
+```
+
+!!! note
+    `updated_at` is updated by SQLAlchemy at ORM flush time. If you update rows via raw SQL (e.g. `UPDATE posts SET ...`), the column will **not** be updated automatically — use a database trigger if you need that guarantee.
+
+### [`TimestampMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.TimestampMixin)
+
+Convenience mixin that combines [`CreatedAtMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.CreatedAtMixin) and [`UpdatedAtMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.UpdatedAtMixin). Equivalent to inheriting both.
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin
+
+class Article(Base, UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin):
+    __tablename__ = "articles"
+
+    title: Mapped[str]
+```
+
+## Lifecycle events
+
+The event system provides lifecycle callbacks that fire **after commit**. If the transaction rolls back, no callback fires.
+
+### Setup
+
+Event dispatch requires [`EventSession`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.EventSession). Pass it as the session class when creating your session factory:
+
+```python
+from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import async_sessionmaker, create_async_engine
+from fastapi_toolsets.models import EventSession
+
+engine = create_async_engine("postgresql+asyncpg://...")
+SessionLocal = async_sessionmaker(engine, expire_on_commit=False, class_=EventSession)
+```
+
+!!! info "Callbacks fire on `session.commit()` only — not on savepoints."
+    Savepoints created by [`get_transaction`](db.md) or `begin_nested()` do **not**
+    trigger callbacks. All events accumulated across flushes are dispatched once
+    when the outermost `commit()` is called.
+
+### Events
+
+Three event types are available, each corresponding to a [`ModelEvent`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.ModelEvent) value:
+
+| Event | Trigger |
+|---|---|
+| `ModelEvent.CREATE` | After `INSERT` commit |
+| `ModelEvent.DELETE` | After `DELETE` commit |
+| `ModelEvent.UPDATE` | After `UPDATE` commit on a watched field |
+
+!!! warning "Callbacks fire only for ORM-level changes. Rows updated via raw SQL (`UPDATE ... SET ...`) are not detected."
+
+### Watched fields
+
+Set `__watched_fields__` on the model to restrict which field changes trigger `UPDATE` events. It must be a `tuple[str, ...]` — any other type raises `TypeError`:
+
+| Class attribute | `UPDATE` behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| `__watched_fields__ = ("status", "role")` | Only fires when `status` or `role` changes |
+| *(not set)* | Fires when **any** mapped field changes |
+
+`__watched_fields__` is inherited through the class hierarchy via normal Python MRO. A subclass can override it:
+
+```python
+class Order(Base, UUIDMixin):
+    __watched_fields__ = ("status",)
+    ...
+
+class UrgentOrder(Order):
+    # inherits __watched_fields__ = ("status",)
+    ...
+
+class PriorityOrder(Order):
+    __watched_fields__ = ("priority",)
+    # overrides parent — UPDATE fires only for priority changes
+    ...
+```
+
+### Registering handlers
+
+Register handlers with the [`listens_for`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.listens_for) decorator. Every callback receives three arguments: the model instance, the [`ModelEvent`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.ModelEvent) that triggered it, and a `changes` dict (`None` for `CREATE` and `DELETE`):
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.models import ModelEvent, UUIDMixin, listens_for
+
+class Order(Base, UUIDMixin):
+    __tablename__ = "orders"
+    __watched_fields__ = ("status",)
+
+    status: Mapped[str]
+
+@listens_for(Order, [ModelEvent.CREATE])
+async def on_order_created(order: Order, event_type: ModelEvent, changes: None):
+    await notify_new_order(order.id)
+
+@listens_for(Order, [ModelEvent.DELETE])
+async def on_order_deleted(order: Order, event_type: ModelEvent, changes: None):
+    await notify_order_cancelled(order.id)
+
+@listens_for(Order, [ModelEvent.UPDATE])
+async def on_order_updated(order: Order, event_type: ModelEvent, changes: dict):
+    if "status" in changes:
+        await notify_status_change(order.id, changes["status"])
+```
+
+Multiple handlers can be registered for the same model and event. Handlers registered on a parent class also fire for subclass instances.
+
+A single handler can listen for multiple events at once. When `event_types` is omitted, the handler fires for all events:
+
+```python
+@listens_for(Order, [ModelEvent.CREATE, ModelEvent.UPDATE])
+async def on_order_changed(order: Order, event_type: ModelEvent, changes: dict | None):
+    await invalidate_cache(order.id)
+
+@listens_for(Order)  # all events
+async def on_any_order_event(order: Order, event_type: ModelEvent, changes: dict | None):
+    await audit_log(order.id, event_type)
+```
+
+### Field changes format
+
+The `changes` dict maps each watched field that changed to `{"old": ..., "new": ...}`. Only fields that actually changed are included. For `CREATE` and `DELETE` events, `changes` is `None`:
+
+```python
+# CREATE / DELETE → changes is None
+# status changed   → {"status": {"old": "pending", "new": "shipped"}}
+# two fields changed → {"status": {...}, "assigned_to": {...}}
+```
+
+!!! info "Multiple flushes in one transaction are merged: the earliest `old` and latest `new` are preserved, and `on_update` fires only once per commit."

+# Pytest
+
+Testing helpers for FastAPI applications with async client, database sessions, and parallel worker support.
+
+## Installation
+
+=== "uv"
+    ``` bash
+    uv add "fastapi-toolsets[pytest]"
+    ```
+
+=== "pip"
+    ``` bash
+    pip install "fastapi-toolsets[pytest]"
+    ```
+
+## Overview
+
+The `pytest` module provides utilities for setting up async test clients, managing test database sessions, and supporting parallel test execution with `pytest-xdist`.
+
+## Creating an async client
+
+Use [`create_async_client`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.utils.create_async_client) to get an `httpx.AsyncClient` configured for your FastAPI app:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.pytest import create_async_client
+
+@pytest.fixture
+async def http_client(db_session):
+    async def _override_get_db():
+        yield db_session
+
+    async with create_async_client(
+        app=app,
+        base_url="http://127.0.0.1/api/v1",
+        dependency_overrides={get_db: _override_get_db},
+    ) as c:
+        yield c
+```
+
+## Database sessions in tests
+
+Use [`create_db_session`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.utils.create_db_session) to create an isolated `AsyncSession` for a test, combined with [`create_worker_database`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.utils.create_worker_database) to set up a per-worker database:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.pytest import create_worker_database, create_db_session
+
+@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
+async def worker_db_url():
+    async with create_worker_database(
+        database_url=str(settings.SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI)
+    ) as url:
+        yield url
+
+
+@pytest.fixture
+async def db_session(worker_db_url):
+    async with create_db_session(
+        database_url=worker_db_url, base=Base, cleanup=True
+    ) as session:
+        yield session
+```
+
+!!! info
+    In this example, the database is reset between each test using the argument `cleanup=True`.
+
+Use [`worker_database_url`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.utils.worker_database_url) to derive the per-worker URL manually if needed:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.pytest import worker_database_url
+
+url = worker_database_url("postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/test_db", default_test_db="test")
+# e.g. "postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/test_db_gw0" under xdist
+```
+
+## Parallel testing with pytest-xdist
+
+The examples above are already compatible with parallel test execution with `pytest-xdist`.
+
+## Cleaning up tables
+
+If you want to manually clean up a database you can use [`cleanup_tables`](../reference/db.md#fastapi_toolsets.db.cleanup_tables), this will truncate all tables between tests for fast isolation:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.db import cleanup_tables
+
+@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
+async def clean(db_session):
+    yield
+    await cleanup_tables(session=db_session, base=Base)
+```

+# Schemas
+
+Standardized Pydantic response models for consistent API responses across your FastAPI application.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `schemas` module provides generic response wrappers that enforce a uniform response structure. All models use `from_attributes=True` for ORM compatibility and `validate_assignment=True` for runtime type safety.
+
+## Response models
+
+### [`Response[T]`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.Response)
+
+The most common wrapper for a single resource response.
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.schemas import Response
+
+@router.get("/users/{id}")
+async def get_user(user: User = UserDep) -> Response[UserSchema]:
+    return Response(data=user, message="User retrieved")
+```
+
+### Paginated response models
+
+Three classes wrap paginated list results. Pick the one that matches your endpoint's strategy:

+| Class | `pagination` type | `pagination_type` field | Use when |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| [`OffsetPaginatedResponse[T]`](#offsetpaginatedresponset) | `OffsetPagination` | `"offset"` (fixed) | endpoint always uses offset |
+| [`CursorPaginatedResponse[T]`](#cursorpaginatedresponset) | `CursorPagination` | `"cursor"` (fixed) | endpoint always uses cursor |
+| [`PaginatedResponse[T]`](#paginatedresponset) | `OffsetPagination \| CursorPagination` | — | unified endpoint supporting both strategies |
+
+#### [`OffsetPaginatedResponse[T]`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.OffsetPaginatedResponse)
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.3.0`"
+
+Use as the return type when the endpoint always uses [`offset_paginate`](crud.md#offset-pagination).  The `pagination` field is guaranteed to be an [`OffsetPagination`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.OffsetPagination) object; the response always includes a `pagination_type: "offset"` discriminator.
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.schemas import OffsetPaginatedResponse
+
+@router.get("/users")
+async def list_users(
+    page: int = 1,
+    items_per_page: int = 20,
+) -> OffsetPaginatedResponse[UserSchema]:
+    return await UserCrud.offset_paginate(
+        session, page=page, items_per_page=items_per_page, schema=UserSchema
+    )
+```
+
+**Response shape:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "pagination_type": "offset",
+  "data": ["..."],
+  "pagination": {
+    "total_count": 100,
+    "page": 1,
+    "items_per_page": 20,
+    "has_more": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### [`CursorPaginatedResponse[T]`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.CursorPaginatedResponse)
+
+!!! info "Added in `v2.3.0`"
+
+Use as the return type when the endpoint always uses [`cursor_paginate`](crud.md#cursor-pagination).  The `pagination` field is guaranteed to be a [`CursorPagination`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.CursorPagination) object; the response always includes a `pagination_type: "cursor"` discriminator.
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.schemas import CursorPaginatedResponse
+
+@router.get("/events")
+async def list_events(
+    cursor: str | None = None,
+    items_per_page: int = 20,
+) -> CursorPaginatedResponse[EventSchema]:
+    return await EventCrud.cursor_paginate(
+        session, cursor=cursor, items_per_page=items_per_page, schema=EventSchema
+    )
+```
+
+**Response shape:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "pagination_type": "cursor",
+  "data": ["..."],
+  "pagination": {
+    "next_cursor": "eyJpZCI6IDQyfQ==",
+    "prev_cursor": null,
+    "items_per_page": 20,
+    "has_more": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### [`PaginatedResponse[T]`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.PaginatedResponse)
+
+Return type for endpoints that support **both** pagination strategies via a `pagination_type` query parameter (using [`paginate()`](crud.md#unified-paginate--both-strategies-on-one-endpoint)).
+
+When used as a return annotation, `PaginatedResponse[T]` automatically expands to `Annotated[Union[CursorPaginatedResponse[T], OffsetPaginatedResponse[T]], Field(discriminator="pagination_type")]`, so FastAPI emits a proper `oneOf` + discriminator in the OpenAPI schema with no extra boilerplate:
+
+```python
+from fastapi_toolsets.crud import PaginationType
+from fastapi_toolsets.schemas import PaginatedResponse
+
+@router.get("/users")
+async def list_users(
+    pagination_type: PaginationType = PaginationType.OFFSET,
+    page: int = 1,
+    cursor: str | None = None,
+    items_per_page: int = 20,
+) -> PaginatedResponse[UserSchema]:
+    return await UserCrud.paginate(
+        session,
+        pagination_type=pagination_type,
+        page=page,
+        cursor=cursor,
+        items_per_page=items_per_page,
+        schema=UserSchema,
+    )
+```
+
+#### Pagination metadata models
+
+The optional `filter_attributes` field is populated when `facet_fields` are configured on the CRUD class (see [Filter attributes](crud.md#filter-attributes-facets)). It is `None` by default and can be hidden from API responses with `response_model_exclude_none=True`.
+
+### [`ErrorResponse`](../reference/schemas.md#fastapi_toolsets.schemas.ErrorResponse)
+
+Returned automatically by the exceptions handler.
