**FastAPI** is volledig verenigbaar met (en gebaseerd op) <a href="https://www.starlette.io/" class="external-link" target="_blank"><strong>Starlette</strong></a>.

`FastAPI` is eigenlijk een subklasse van `Starlette`. Dus als je Starlette al kent of gebruikt, zal de meeste functionaliteit op dezelfde manier werken.

Met **FastAPI** krijg je alle functies van **Starlette** (FastAPI is gewoon Starlette op steroïden):

**FastAPI** is helemaal gebaseerd op deze type hints, ze geven veel voordelen.

Maar zelfs als je **FastAPI** nooit gebruikt, heb je er baat bij om er iets over te leren.

## Motivatie

Laten we beginnen met een eenvoudig voorbeeld:

```Python
{!../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial001.py!}
```

	// Buffers sent on out can not be referenced once sent.
	StreamHandlerFn func(ctx context.Context, payload []byte, in <-chan []byte, out chan<- []byte) *RemoteErr

	// StreamHandler handles fully bidirectional streams,
	// There is flow control in both directions.
	StreamHandler struct {
		// Handle an incoming request. Initial payload is sent.

    Note over client,operation: Response is already sent, can't change it anymore
    opt Tasks
        operation -->> tasks: Send background tasks
    end
    opt Raise other exception
        tasks -->> tasks: Handle exceptions in the background task code
    end
```

/// info

```console
$ pip install python-multipart
```

This is because uploaded files are sent as "form data".

///

## Import `File`

Import `File` and `UploadFile` from `fastapi`:

//// tab | Python 3.9+

```

    * Étant donné que se connecter à un serveur et envoyer un email a tendance à être «lent» (plusieurs secondes), vous pouvez retourner la réponse directement et envoyer la notification en arrière-plan.
* Traiter des données :
    * Par exemple, si vous recevez un fichier qui doit passer par un traitement lent, vous pouvez retourner une réponse «Accepted» (HTTP 202) puis faire le traitement en arrière-plan.

            ),
        ] = "",
        client_id: Annotated[
            Union[str, None],
            Form(),
            Doc(
                """
                If there's a `client_id`, it can be sent as part of the form fields.
                But the OAuth2 specification recommends sending the `client_id` and
                `client_secret` (if any) using HTTP Basic auth.
                """
            ),

		return err
	}

	eventData, eErr := target.store.Get(key)
	if eErr != nil {
		// The last event key in a successful batch will be sent in the channel atmost once by the replayEvents()
		// Such events will not exist and would've been already been sent successfully.
		if os.IsNotExist(eErr) {
			return nil
		}
		return eErr
	}

	if err := target.send(eventData); err != nil {

This is useful for operations that need to happen after a request, but that the client doesn't really have to be waiting for the operation to complete before receiving the response.

This includes, for example:

* Email notifications sent after performing an action:
    * As connecting to an email server and sending an email tends to be "slow" (several seconds), you can return the response right away and send the email notification in the background.
* Processing data:

	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	eventData, eErr := target.store.Get(key)
	if eErr != nil {
		// The last event key in a successful batch will be sent in the channel atmost once by the replayEvents()
		// Such events will not exist and wouldve been already been sent successfully.
		if os.IsNotExist(eErr) {
			return nil
		}
		return eErr
	}

	if err := target.send(eventData); err != nil {
		return err
	}
