# Bigger Applications - Multiple Files { #bigger-applications-multiple-files }

If you are building an application or a web API, it's rarely the case that you can put everything in a single file.

**FastAPI** provides a convenience tool to structure your application while keeping all the flexibility.

If you come from Flask, this would be the equivalent of Flask's Blueprints.

## An example file structure { #an-example-file-structure }

* 📤 📁 `app/internal/` ⏮️ ➕1️⃣ 📁 `__init__.py`, ⚫️ ➕1️⃣ "🐍 📦": `app.internal`.
*  & 📁 `app/internal/admin.py` ➕1️⃣ 🔁: `app.internal.admin`.

<img src="/img/tutorial/bigger-applications/package.drawio.svg">

🎏 📁 📊 ⏮️ 🏤:

```
.
├── app                  # "app" is a Python package
│   ├── __init__.py      # this file makes "app" a "Python package"

* Und die Datei `app/internal/admin.py` ist ein weiteres Submodul: `app.internal.admin`.

<img src="/img/tutorial/bigger-applications/package.drawio.svg">

Die gleiche Dateistruktur mit Kommentaren:

```
.
├── app                  # „app“ ist ein Python-Package
│   ├── __init__.py      # diese Datei macht „app“ zu einem „Python-Package“

* Подкаталог `app/internal/`, содержащий файл `__init__.py`, является ещё одним суб-пакетом: `app.internal`.
* А файл `app/internal/admin.py` является ещё одним суб-модулем: `app.internal.admin`.

<img src="/img/tutorial/bigger-applications/package.drawio.svg">

Та же самая файловая структура приложения, но с комментариями:

```
.
├── app                  # "app" пакет
│   ├── __init__.py      # этот файл превращает "app" в "Python-пакет"

* Y el archivo `app/internal/admin.py` es otro submódulo: `app.internal.admin`.

<img src="/img/tutorial/bigger-applications/package.drawio.svg">

La misma estructura de archivos con comentarios:

```
.
├── app                  # "app" es un paquete de Python

* Há também um subdiretório `app/internal/` com outro arquivo `__init__.py`, então ele é outro "subpacote Python":`app.internal`.
* E o arquivo `app/internal/admin.py` é outro submódulo: `app.internal.admin`.

<img src="/img/tutorial/bigger-applications/package.drawio.svg">

A mesma estrutura de arquivos com comentários:

```
.
├── app                  # "app" é um pacote Python
│   ├── __init__.py      # este arquivo torna "app" um "pacote Python"

And the `items_per_user` would keep its default value of `50`.

## Settings in another module { #settings-in-another-module }

You could put those settings in another module file as you saw in [Bigger Applications - Multiple Files](../tutorial/bigger-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

For example, you could have a file `config.py` with:

{* ../../docs_src/settings/app01/config.py *}

And then use it in a file `main.py`:

E `items_per_user` manteria o valor padrão de `50`.

## Configurações em um módulo separado

Você também pode incluir essas configurações em um arquivo de um módulo separado como visto em [Bigger Applications - Multiple Files](../tutorial/bigger-applications.md){.internal-link target=\_blank}.

Por exemplo, você pode adicionar um arquivo `config.py` com:

{* ../../docs_src/settings/app01/config.py *}

## Einstellungen in einem anderen Modul

Sie könnten diese Einstellungen in eine andere Moduldatei einfügen, wie Sie in [Größere Anwendungen – mehrere Dateien](../tutorial/bigger-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank} gesehen haben.

Sie könnten beispielsweise eine Datei `config.py` haben mit:

{* ../../docs_src/settings/app01/config.py *}
