# Response Model - Return Type

You can declare the type used for the response by annotating the *path operation function* **return type**.

You can use **type annotations** the same way you would for input data in function **parameters**, you can use Pydantic models, lists, dictionaries, scalar values like integers, booleans, etc.

```Python hl_lines="16  21"
{!> ../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial001_01_py310.py!}
```

///

This will let **FastAPI** know that this parameter is required.

### Required, can be `None`

You can declare that a parameter can accept `None`, but that it's still required. This would force clients to send a value, even if the value is `None`.

To do that, you can declare that `None` is a valid type but still use `...` as the default:

```Python hl_lines="9"

* Many PRs don't have tests, you can **remind** them to add tests, or you can even **suggest** some tests yourself. That's one of the things that consume most time and you can help a lot with that.

* Then also comment what you tried, that way I'll know that you checked it. 🤓

#### Install `openapi-ts`

You can install `openapi-ts` in your frontend code with:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ npm install @hey-api/openapi-ts --save-dev

---> 100%
```

</div>

#### Generate Client Code

To generate the client code you can use the command line application `openapi-ts` that would now be installed.

{!../../docs_src/bigger_applications/app/routers/users.py!}
```

You can think of `APIRouter` as a "mini `FastAPI`" class.

All the same options are supported.

All the same `parameters`, `responses`, `dependencies`, `tags`, etc.

/// tip

In this example, the variable is called `router`, but you can name it however you want.

Some of the options you could use as a TLS Termination Proxy are:

* Traefik (that can also handle certificate renewals)
* Caddy (that can also handle certificate renewals)
* Nginx
* HAProxy

## Let's Encrypt

Before Let's Encrypt, these **HTTPS certificates** were sold by trusted third parties.

### Read Heroes

We can **read** `Hero`s from the database using a `select()`. We can include a `limit` and `offset` to paginate the results.

{* ../../docs_src/sql_databases/tutorial001_an_py310.py ln[48:55] hl[51:52,54] *}

### Read One Hero

We can **read** a single `Hero`.

{* ../../docs_src/sql_databases/tutorial001_an_py310.py ln[58:63] hl[60] *}

### Delete a Hero

We can also **delete** a `Hero`.

As all these methods are `async` methods, you need to "await" them.

For example, inside of an `async` *path operation function* you can get the contents with:

```Python
contents = await myfile.read()
```

If you are inside of a normal `def` *path operation function*, you can access the `UploadFile.file` directly, for example:

```Python
contents = myfile.file.read()
```

You can help with everything on [Help FastAPI - Get Help](./help-fastapi.md){.internal-link target=_blank} the same ways as external contributors. But additionally, there are some tasks that only you (as part of the team) can perform.

Here are the general instructions for the tasks you can perform.

Thanks a lot for your help. 🙇
