Architecture of litestar-org/litestar

Requests enter through an ASGI application created from the Litestar class, which is exported from litestar/__init__.py and defined in litestar/app.py. Route handlers are registered on that application, and their type hints tell the framework how to parse inputs and which OpenAPI schema to produce. litestar/_kwargs/kwargs_model.py builds the keyword arguments passed to each handler from the request. Dependencies, guards and middleware are declared at the app, router or controller level and run around the handler. The litestar run command, implemented in litestar/cli/main.py, starts the application from the command line.
