labthings_fastapi.dependencies.thing
====================================

.. py:module:: labthings_fastapi.dependencies.thing

.. autoapi-nested-parse::

   FastAPI dependency to allow `.Thing`\ s to depend on each other.

   This module defines a mechanism to obtain a `.DirectThingClient` that
   wraps another `.Thing` on the same server. See :ref:`things_from_things` and
   :ref:`dependencies` for more detail.

   .. note::

       `.direct_thing_client_dependency` may confuse linters and type
       checkers, as types should not be the result of a function call.
       You may wish to manually create an annotated type using
       `.direct_thing_client_class`.
