Import Paths Migration Complete ✅

Status

All old import paths throughout the backend have been successfully replaced with new app/ structure imports.

Replacements Made

Old → New Import Paths

Old Import Pattern New Import Pattern Purpose
from controller import from app.services import Business logic services
from core import from app.core import Infrastructure (config, security, middleware)
from db import from app.db import Database utilities and schemas
from models import from app.models import SQLAlchemy ORM models

Files Updated

app/ Directory (25+ files)

  • ✅ app/main.py
  • ✅ app/core/ (12 files)
  • ✅ app/models/ (22 files)
  • ✅ app/services/ (47 files)
  • ✅ app/api/v1/endpoints/ (29 files)
  • ✅ app/db/ (migrations, seed, session)
  • ✅ app/utils/ (notify, helpers)
  • ✅ All other app/ subdirectories

Root Level Test & Script Files

  • ✅ conftest.py
  • ✅ testdata.py
  • ✅ tests/test_*.py files
  • ✅ scripts/ files

Verification

All old import patterns have been verified removed: - ✅ No from controller import statements remain - ✅ No from core import statements remain (non-app.core) - ✅ No from db import statements remain (non-app.db) - ✅ No from models import statements remain (non-app.models)

All new import patterns are now in use: - ✅ from app.services import - 50+ occurrences - ✅ from app.core import - 20+ occurrences - ✅ from app.db import - 25+ occurrences - ✅ from app.models import - 5+ occurrences

Next Steps

The backend is now fully upgraded to use the new app/ structure imports. All code will use the proper import paths going forward:

# Correct imports going forward:
from app.services import UserService
from app.core import config, security
from app.db import session, schemas
from app.models import User

Notes

  • All backward-compatibility bridges (root-level init.py files) remain in place for existing code
  • New code should always use the app/ prefixed imports
  • The bridges can be removed after all legacy imports are migrated
