Integrations

iron-monk is a single decorator with no metaclass tricks, so it slots into any framework that lets you decorate a class or call a function. The pages below are battle-tested recipes — copy, paste, adapt.

If you are using…	Read
Strawberry GraphQL	Strawberry GraphQL — errors-as-data for inputs, fail-fast for headers, Maybe[T] integration via settings.type_metadata.
Starlette / ASGI	Starlette (ASGI) — RFC 7807 exception handlers, dict-mode and DTO-mode handlers.
FastAPI	FastAPI — Depends bridge for RFC 7807 errors, or Pydantic Core duck-typing to keep idiomatic handler signatures.
SQLAlchemy 2.0	SQLAlchemy 2.0 — validate ORM models before commit; Mapped[T] unwrapping.
Tortoise ORM	Tortoise ORM — split DTO validation from Active Record persistence.
tyro CLI	tyro — validate dataclass-driven CLIs alongside argument parsing.
App startup config	App Configuration — fail-fast environment variable validation on boot.
beartype runtime types	Beartype — stack runtime type checking under business constraints.

Don't see your stack? The pattern is always the same — annotate, decorate, validate at the boundary. Open an issue with your use case and it will likely become a new page.
