## Developing

If you already cloned the <a href="https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi" class="external-link" target="_blank">fastapi repository</a> and you want to deep dive in the code, here are some guidelines to set up your environment.

### Virtual environment with `venv`

    def create_person(person: PersonCreate) -> Any:
        db_person = Person.model_validate(person)
        return db_person

    client = TestClient(app)

    person_data = {"name": "Dive", "lastname": "Wilson"}
    response = client.post("/people/", json=person_data)
    data = response.json()
    assert response.status_code == 200, response.text
    assert data["name"] == person_data["name"]
