* In many cases, it's better to understand their **underlying problem or use case**, because there might be a better way to solve it than what they are trying to do.

### Ask to close { #ask-to-close }

If they reply, there's a high chance you would have solved their problem, congrats, **you're a hero**! 🦸

* Now, if that solved their problem, you can ask them to:

    * In GitHub Discussions: mark the comment as the **answer**.

In discussions and PRs, in many cases, people bring their frustration and show it without filter, in many cases exaggerating, complaining, being entitled, etc. That's really not nice, and when it happens, it lowers our priority to solve their problems. But still, try to breath, and be gentle with your answers.

Try to avoid using bitter sarcasm or potentially passive-aggressive comments. If something is wrong, it's better to be direct (try to be gentle) than sarcastic.

**FastAPI** wouldn't exist if not for the previous work of others.

There have been many tools created before that have helped inspire its creation.

I have been avoiding the creation of a new framework for several years. First I tried to solve all the features covered by **FastAPI** using many different frameworks, plug-ins, and tools.

# Recipes

We've written some recipes that demonstrate how to solve common problems with OkHttp. Read through them to learn about how everything works together. Cut-and-paste these examples freely; that's what they're for.

### Synchronous Get ([.kt][SynchronousGetKotlin], [.java][SynchronousGetJava])

Please discuss your change in a Github issue before spending much time on its
implementation. We sometimes have to reject contributions that duplicate other
efforts, take the wrong approach to solving a problem, or solve a problem which
does not need solving. An up-front discussion often saves a good deal of wasted
time in these cases.

We normally immediately reject isolated PRs that only perform simple

            solved = await call(**solved_result.values)
        else:
            solved = await run_in_threadpool(call, **solved_result.values)
        if sub_dependant.name is not None:
            values[sub_dependant.name] = solved
        if sub_dependant.cache_key not in dependency_cache:
            dependency_cache[sub_dependant.cache_key] = solved

   * Optional<T>}. Casting either of the above example {@code Optional} instances to {@code
   * Optional<Number>} (where {@code Number} is the desired output type) solves the problem:
   *
   * {@snippet :
   * Optional<Number> optionalInt = (Optional) getSomeOptionalInt();
   * Number value = optionalInt.or(0.5); // fine
