The **Advanced User Guide** builds on this one, uses the same concepts, and teaches you some extra features.

But you should first read the **Tutorial - User Guide** (what you are reading right now).

# History, Design and Future { #history-design-and-future }

Some time ago, <a href="https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/issues/3#issuecomment-454956920" class="external-link" target="_blank">a **FastAPI** user asked</a>:

> What’s the history of this project? It seems to have come from nowhere to awesome in a few weeks [...]

Here's a little bit of that history.

## Alternatives { #alternatives }

     * This is usually set by the Maven launcher script using the "maven.home" system property.
     *
     * @return the Maven installation directory path
     */
    @Nonnull
    Path installationDirectory();

    /**
     * Returns the user's home directory.
     * This is typically obtained from the "user.home" system property.
     *
     * @return the user's home directory path

    @Nonnull
    Path userHomeDirectory();

**FastAPI** provides several tools to help you deal with **Security** easily, rapidly, in a standard way, without having to study and learn all the security specifications.

But first, let's check some small concepts.

## In a hurry? { #in-a-hurry }

If you don't care about any of these terms and you just need to add security with authentication based on username and password *right now*, skip to the next chapters.

# (And we run it after the main build so that that build has already downloaded Java 11 if necessary.)
./mvnw --projects '!guava-testlib,!guava-tests,!guava-bom,!guava-gwt' initialize -P print-java-11-home
export JAVA_HOME=$(<target/java_11_home)

# Gradle Wrapper overwrites some files when it runs.
# To avoid modifying the Git client, we copy everything we need to another directory.
# That provides general hygiene, including avoiding release errors:

issue if there is one) requesting the feature and describing specific use cases
for it.

If the feature has merit, it will go through a thorough process of API design
and review. Any code should come after this.

## Add custom headers { #add-custom-headers }

There are some situations in where it's useful to be able to add custom headers to the HTTP error. For example, for some types of security.

You probably won't need to use it directly in your code.

But in case you needed it for an advanced scenario, you can add custom headers:

...

    * A "token" is just a string with some content that we can use later to verify this user.
    * Normally, a token is set to expire after some time.
        * So, the user will have to log in again at some point later.
        * And if the token is stolen, the risk is less. It is not like a permanent key that will work forever (in most of the cases).
