Before, this page used to list links to external articles.

But now that FastAPI is the backend framework with the most GitHub stars across languages, and the most starred and used framework in Python, it no longer makes sense to attempt to list all articles written about it.

## GitHub Repositories

If there's a security flaw in your code, it will still exist.

And we know that editors can't provide a lot of support (like completion) for `dict`s, because they can't know their keys and value types.

We can do better...

## What makes a dependency { #what-makes-a-dependency }

Up to now you have seen dependencies declared as functions.

But that's not the only way to declare dependencies (although it would probably be the more common).

```

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

                    first_child.read_source(config=config)
                    new_title = first_child.title or new_title
            # Creating a new section makes it render it collapsed by default
            # no idea why, so, let's just modify the existing one
            # new_section = Section(title=new_title, children=new_children)
            item.title = new_title.split("{ #")[0]

      runTest();
    } finally {
      tearDown();
    }
  }

  @Override
  protected void tearDown() {
    tearDownStack.runTearDown();
  }

  /** Builds a {@link TearDownStack} that makes sure it's clear by the end of this test. */
  private TearDownStack buildTearDownStack() {
    TearDownStack result = new TearDownStack();
    tearDownStack.addTearDown(
        new TearDown() {

* Convert the copied model to something that can be stored in your DB (for example, using the `jsonable_encoder`).
    * This is comparable to using the model's `.model_dump()` method again, but it makes sure (and converts) the values to data types that can be converted to JSON, for example, `datetime` to `str`.
* Save the data to your DB.
* Return the updated model.

 * remain in their original namespace. This reduces the final Gradle distribution
 * size and makes us more conscious of which parts of a library we really need.
 *
 * WARNING: if you decide to do the minification by hand, make sure that you cover all paths of loading classes:
 * reflection, dynamic loading, etc. and understand how the library works internally.

```Python
from unicorn import UnicornMiddleware

app = SomeASGIApp()

new_app = UnicornMiddleware(app, some_config="rainbow")
```

But FastAPI (actually Starlette) provides a simpler way to do it that makes sure that the internal middlewares handle server errors and custom exception handlers work properly.

For that, you use `app.add_middleware()` (as in the example for CORS).

```Python
from fastapi import FastAPI

## Install `websockets` { #install-websockets }

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and install `websockets` (a Python library that makes it easy to use the "WebSocket" protocol):

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install websockets

---> 100%
```
