The security and dependency injection stuff is written once.

And you can make it as complex as you want. And still, have it written only once, in a single place. With all the flexibility.

But you can have thousands of endpoints (*path operations*) using the same security system.

And all of them (or any portion of them that you want) can take the advantage of re-using these dependencies or any other dependencies you create.

    <div class="termy">

    ```console
    $ Get-Command pip

    some/directory/fastapi/env/bin/pip
    ```

    </div>

If it shows the `pip` binary at `env/bin/pip` then it worked. 🎉

Make sure you have the latest pip version on your local environment to avoid errors on the next steps:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip

---> 100%
```

</div>

### FastAPI Data Filtering

Now, for FastAPI, it will see the return type and make sure that what you return includes **only** the fields that are declared in the type.

<div class="termy">

```console
$ typer --install-completion

zsh completion installed in /home/user/.bashrc.
Completion will take effect once you restart the terminal.
```

</div>

But I'll show you how to improve that next. 🤓

## Custom Operation IDs and Better Method Names

You can **modify** the way these operation IDs are **generated** to make them simpler and have **simpler method names** in the clients.

## Create the database

Because now we are going to use a new database in a new file, we need to make sure we create the database with:

```Python
Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine)
```

That is normally called in `main.py`, but the line in `main.py` uses the database file `sql_app.db`, and we need to make sure we create `test.db` for the tests.

So we add that line here, with the new file.

```Python hl_lines="16"

This way, its schema will show up in the API docs user interface:

## Dataclasses in Nested Data Structures

You can also combine `dataclasses` with other type annotations to make nested data structures.

In some cases, you might still have to use Pydantic's version of `dataclasses`. For example, if you have errors with the automatically generated API documentation.

!!! tip
    **GraphQL** solves some very specific use cases.

    It has **advantages** and **disadvantages** when compared to common **web APIs**.

    Make sure you evaluate if the **benefits** for your use case compensate the **drawbacks**. 🤓

## GraphQL Libraries

Here are some of the **GraphQL** libraries that have **ASGI** support. You could use them with **FastAPI**:

And then you can also have a path `/users/{user_id}` to get data about a specific user by some user ID.

Because *path operations* are evaluated in order, you need to make sure that the path for `/users/me` is declared before the one for `/users/{user_id}`:

```Python hl_lines="6  11"
{!../../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial003.py!}
```

These examples run the server program (e.g Uvicorn), starting **a single process**, listening on all the IPs (`0.0.0.0`) on a predefined port (e.g. `80`).

This is the basic idea. But you will probably want to take care of some additional things, like:

* Security - HTTPS
* Running on startup
* Restarts
* Replication (the number of processes running)
* Memory
* Previous steps before starting
