In vielen Fällen wird nur ein Fragment des Codes gepostet, aber das reicht nicht aus, um **das Problem zu reproduzieren**.

И во многих случаях будет предоставлен только фрагмент этого кода, которого недостаточно для **воспроизведения проблемы**.

* Попросите предоставить <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example" class="external-link" target="_blank">минимальный воспроизводимый пример</a>, который можно **скопировать** и запустить локально дабы увидеть такую же ошибку, или поведение, или лучше понять обстоятельства случая.

## Developing

If you already cloned the <a href="https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi" class="external-link" target="_blank">fastapi repository</a> and you want to deep dive in the code, here are some guidelines to set up your environment.

### Virtual environment with `venv`

There are also some **company-backed** Client and SDK generators based on OpenAPI (FastAPI), in some cases they can offer you **additional features** on top of high-quality generated SDKs/clients.

Some of them also ✨ [**sponsor FastAPI**](../help-fastapi.md#sponsor-the-author){.internal-link target=_blank} ✨, this ensures the continued and healthy **development** of FastAPI and its **ecosystem**.

And it generates OpenAPI schemas.

That's how it works in Flask, Starlette, Responder, etc.

But then, we have again the problem of having a micro-syntax, inside of a Python string (a big YAML).

The editor can't help much with that. And if we modify parameters or Marshmallow schemas and forget to also modify that YAML docstring, the generated schema would be obsolete.

!!! info
    APISpec was created by the same Marshmallow developers.
