## Details

The first `"/static"` refers to the sub-path this "sub-application" will be "mounted" on. So, any path that starts with `"/static"` will be handled by it.

The `directory="static"` refers to the name of the directory that contains your static files.

The `name="static"` gives it a name that can be used internally by **FastAPI**.

Sie können die `FastAPI`-Klasse direkt von `fastapi` importieren:

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
```

::: fastapi.FastAPI
    options:
        members:
            - openapi_version
            - webhooks
            - state
            - dependency_overrides
            - openapi
            - websocket
            - include_router
            - get

```Python hl_lines="20"
{!../../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial005.py!}
```

!!! tip
    You could also access the value `"lenet"` with `ModelName.lenet.value`.

#### Return *enumeration members*

You can return *enum members* from your *path operation*, even nested in a JSON body (e.g. a `dict`).

They will be converted to their corresponding values (strings in this case) before returning them to the client:

Here the `app` variable will be an "instance" of the class `FastAPI`.

This will be the main point of interaction to create all your API.

### Step 3: create a *path operation*

#### Path

"Path" here refers to the last part of the URL starting from the first `/`.

So, in a URL like:

```
https://example.com/items/foo
```

...the path would be:

```
/items/foo
```

    The command `uvicorn main:app` refers to:

    * `main`: the file `main.py` (the Python "module").
    * `app`: the object created inside of `main.py` with the line `app = FastAPI()`.

    It is equivalent to:

!!! note "Technical Details"
    ASGI is a new "standard" being developed by Django core team members. It is still not a "Python standard" (a PEP), although they are in the process of doing that.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import UploadFile
