This is the basic idea. But you will probably want to take care of some additional things, like:

* Security - HTTPS
* Running on startup
* Restarts
* Replication (the number of processes running)
* Memory
* Previous steps before starting

    And those two things, `scope` and `receive`, are what is needed to create a new `Request` instance.

    To learn more about the `Request` check <a href="https://www.starlette.io/requests/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Starlette's docs about Requests</a>.

The same way, you can define logic (code) that should be executed when the application is **shutting down**. In this case, this code will be executed **once**, **after** having handled possibly **many requests**.

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial002.py!}
```

In this case, `item_id` is declared to be an `int`.

!!! check
    This will give you editor support inside of your function, with error checks, completion, etc.

## Data <abbr title="also known as: serialization, parsing, marshalling">conversion</abbr>

```Python hl_lines="1  7-12  19-20"
{!../../../docs_src/dataclasses/tutorial001.py!}
```

This is still supported thanks to **Pydantic**, as it has <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/dataclasses/#use-of-stdlib-dataclasses-with-basemodel" class="external-link" target="_blank">internal support for `dataclasses`</a>.

│   ├── main.py
│   └── test_main.py
```

Because this file is in the same package, you can use relative imports to import the object `app` from the `main` module (`main.py`):

```Python hl_lines="3"
{!../../../docs_src/app_testing/test_main.py!}
```

...and have the code for the tests just like before.

## Testing: extended example

Now let's extend this example and add more details to see how to test different parts.

In diesem Fall macht es Sinn, die Tags in einem `Enum` zu speichern.

**FastAPI** unterstützt diese genauso wie einfache Strings:

```Python hl_lines="1  8-10  13  18"
{!../../../docs_src/path_operation_configuration/tutorial002b.py!}
```

## Zusammenfassung und Beschreibung

    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial002.py!}
    ```

## Set types

But then we think about it, and realize that tags shouldn't repeat, they would probably be unique strings.

And Python has a special data type for sets of unique items, the `set`.

Then we can declare `tags` as a set of strings:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="12"

## Investigation

By using all the previous alternatives I had the chance to learn from all of them, take ideas, and combine them in the best way I could find for myself and the teams of developers I have worked with.

For example, it was clear that ideally it should be based on standard Python type hints.

## Investigação

Ao usar todas as alternativas anteriores, eu tive a chance de aprender com todas elas, aproveitar ideias e combiná-las da melhor maneira que encontrei para mim e para os times de desenvolvedores com os quais trabalhava.

Por exemplo, estava claro que idealmente ele deveria ser baseado nos _type hints_ padrões do Python.
