```Python
say_hi()  # Oh, no, this throws an error! 😱
```

The `name` parameter is **still required** (not *optional*) because it doesn't have a default value. Still, `name` accepts `None` as the value:

```Python
say_hi(name=None)  # This works, None is valid 🎉
```

Another useful case is when you want to have keys of another type (e.g., `int`).

That's what we are going to see here.

In this case, you would accept any `dict` as long as it has `int` keys with `float` values:

=== "Python 3.9+"

    ```Python hl_lines="7"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial009_py39.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.8+"

The idea is for the **FastAPI** community to be kind and welcoming. At the same time, don't accept bullying or disrespectful behavior towards others. We have to take care of each other.

Here's how to help others with questions (in discussions or issues):

### Understand the question

    It is used by Pydantic and FastAPI to explicitly declare that a value is required.

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

### Required with `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 3.10+"

            - cookies
            - client
            - state
            - url_for
            - client_state
            - application_state
            - receive
            - send
            - accept
            - receive_text
            - receive_bytes
            - receive_json
            - iter_text
            - iter_bytes
            - iter_json
            - send_text
            - send_bytes

### `Response`

The main `Response` class, all the other responses inherit from it.

You can return it directly.

It accepts the following parameters:

* `content` - A `str` or `bytes`.
* `status_code` - An `int` HTTP status code.
* `headers` - A `dict` of strings.
* `media_type` - A `str` giving the media type. E.g. `"text/html"`.

        from fastapi import FastAPI, WebSocket

        app = FastAPI()

        @app.websocket("/ws")
        async def websocket_endpoint(websocket: WebSocket):
            await websocket.accept()
            while True:
                data = await websocket.receive_text()
                await websocket.send_text(f"Message text was: {data}")
        ```
        """

Par exemple, disons que vous voulez avoir un *chemin d'accès* qui permet de mettre à jour les éléments et renvoie les codes HTTP 200 "OK" en cas de succès.

Mais vous voulez aussi qu'il accepte de nouveaux éléments. Et lorsque les éléments n'existaient pas auparavant, il les crée et renvoie un code HTTP de 201 "Créé".
