# Bigger Applications - Multiple Files

If you are building an application or a web API, it's rarely the case that you can put everything in a single file.

**FastAPI** provides a convenience tool to structure your application while keeping all the flexibility.

If you come from Flask, this would be the equivalent of Flask's Blueprints.

## An example file structure

Let's say you have a file structure like this:

```

* 📤 📁 `app/internal/` ⏮️ ➕1️⃣ 📁 `__init__.py`, ⚫️ ➕1️⃣ "🐍 📦": `app.internal`.
*  & 📁 `app/internal/admin.py` ➕1️⃣ 🔁: `app.internal.admin`.

<img src="/img/tutorial/bigger-applications/package.svg">

🎏 📁 📊 ⏮️ 🏤:

```
.
├── app                  # "app" is a Python package
│   ├── __init__.py      # this file makes "app" a "Python package"

* Und die Datei `app/internal/admin.py` ist ein weiteres Submodul: `app.internal.admin`.

<img src="/img/tutorial/bigger-applications/package.svg">

Die gleiche Dateistruktur mit Kommentaren:

```
.
├── app                  # „app“ ist ein Python-Package
│   ├── __init__.py      # diese Datei macht „app“ zu einem „Python-Package“

* Há também um subdiretório `app/internal/` com outro arquivo `__init__.py`, então ele é outro "subpacote Python":`app.internal`.
* E o arquivo `app/internal/admin.py` é outro submódulo: `app.internal.admin`.

<img src="/img/tutorial/bigger-applications/package.svg">

A mesma estrutura de arquivos com comentários:

```
.
├── app                  # "app" é um pacote Python
│   ├── __init__.py      # este arquivo torna "app" um "pacote Python"

* 还有一个子目录 `app/internal/` 包含另一个 `__init__.py` 文件，因此它是又一个「Python 子包」：`app.internal`。
* `app/internal/admin.py` 是另一个子模块：`app.internal.admin`。

带有注释的同一文件结构：

```
.
├── app                  # 「app」是一个 Python 包
│   ├── __init__.py      # 这个文件使「app」成为一个 Python 包
│   ├── main.py          # 「main」模块，例如 import app.main

## Dependencies for a group of *path operations*

Later, when reading about how to structure bigger applications ([Bigger Applications - Multiple Files](../../tutorial/bigger-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}), possibly with multiple files, you will learn how to declare a single `dependencies` parameter for a group of *path operations*.

  private static CharBuffer grow(CharBuffer buf) {
    char[] copy = Arrays.copyOf(buf.array(), buf.capacity() * 2);
    CharBuffer bigger = CharBuffer.wrap(copy);
    Java8Compatibility.position(bigger, buf.position());
    Java8Compatibility.limit(bigger, buf.limit());
    return bigger;
  }

  /** Handle the case of underflow caused by needing more input characters. */
  private void readMoreChars() throws IOException {
