**FastAPI** provides the same `starlette.staticfiles` as `fastapi.staticfiles` just as a convenience for you, the developer. But it actually comes directly from Starlette.

### What is "Mounting"

"Mounting" means adding a complete "independent" application in a specific path, that then takes care of handling all the sub-paths.

Nevertheless, you can still do it in **FastAPI**, using one of the internal tools from Starlette.

And the docs would still work, although not adding any documentation telling that the parameter should contain a path.

### Path convertor

Using an option directly from Starlette you can declare a *path parameter* containing a *path* using a URL like:

```

    <div class="termy">

    ```console
    $ pip install "uvicorn[standard]"

    ---> 100%
    ```

    </div>

    !!! tip
        By adding the `standard`, Uvicorn will install and use some recommended extra dependencies.

        That including `uvloop`, the high-performance drop-in replacement for `asyncio`, that provides the big concurrency performance boost.

```

!!! note
    Notice that as we communicate with the database using `await`, the *path operation function* is declared with `async`.

### Notice the `response_model=List[Note]`

It uses `typing.List`.

That documents (and validates, serializes, filters) the output data, as a `list` of `Note`s.

## Create notes

Create the *path operation function* to create notes:

```Python hl_lines="61-65"

    "Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules",
    "Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries",
    "Topic :: Software Development",
    "Typing :: Typed",
    "Development Status :: 4 - Beta",
    "Environment :: Web Environment",
    "Framework :: AsyncIO",
    "Framework :: FastAPI",
    "Framework :: Pydantic",
    "Framework :: Pydantic :: 1",

## Mounting a **FastAPI** application

"Mounting" means adding a completely "independent" application in a specific path, that then takes care of handling everything under that path, with the _path operations_ declared in that sub-application.

### Top-level application

It will be defined in OpenAPI with `anyOf`.

To do that, use the standard Python type hint <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Union" class="external-link" target="_blank">`typing.Union`</a>:

!!! note

하지만 파이썬은 내부의 타입이나 "타입 매개변수"를 선언할 수 있는 특정 방법이 있습니다:

### typing의 `List` 임포트

먼저, 파이썬 표준 `typing` 모듈에서 `List`를 임포트합니다:

```Python hl_lines="1"
{!../../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial002.py!}
```

### 타입 매개변수로 `List` 선언

`list`, `dict`, `tuple`과 같은 타입 매개변수(내부 타입)를 갖는 타입을 선언하려면:

* `typing` 모듈에서 임포트
* 대괄호를 사용하여 "타입 매개변수"로 내부 타입 전달: `[` 및 `]`

```Python
from typing import List

my_list: List[str]
```

But Python has a specific way to declare lists with internal types, or "type parameters":

### Import typing's `List`

In Python 3.9 and above you can use the standard `list` to declare these type annotations as we'll see below. 💡

But in Python versions before 3.9 (3.6 and above), you first need to import `List` from standard Python's `typing` module:

```Python hl_lines="1"
{!> ../../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial002.py!}
```

You will get completion in code you might even consider impossible before. As for example, the `price` key inside a JSON body (that could have been nested) that comes from a request.

No more typing the wrong key names, coming back and forth between docs, or scrolling up and down to find if you finally used `username` or `user_name`.
