## Include the same router multiple times with different `prefix` { #include-the-same-router-multiple-times-with-different-prefix }

You can also use `.include_router()` multiple times with the *same* router using different prefixes.

This could be useful, for example, to expose the same API under different prefixes, e.g. `/api/v1` and `/api/latest`.

But you are not restricted to using some specific data model, class or type.

Do you want to have an `id` and `email` and not have any `username` in your model? Sure. You can use these same tools.

Do you want to just have a `str`? Or just a `dict`? Or a database class model instance directly? It all works the same way.

query_extractor --> query_or_cookie_extractor --> read_query
```

## Using the same dependency multiple times { #using-the-same-dependency-multiple-times }

If one of your dependencies is declared multiple times for the same *path operation*, for example, multiple dependencies have a common sub-dependency, **FastAPI** will know to call that sub-dependency only once per request.

All of them share the same parameters for additional validation and metadata you have seen.

///

/// note | Technical Details

When you import `Query`, `Path` and others from `fastapi`, they are actually functions.

That when called, return instances of classes of the same name.

///

And we are using this model to declare our input and the same model to declare our output:

{* ../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial002_py310.py hl[16] *}

Now, whenever a browser is creating a user with a password, the API will return the same password in the response.

In this case, it might not be a problem, because it's the same user sending the password.

This will be especially useful when you use it in a **large code base** where you use **the same dependencies** over and over again in **many *path operations***.

## To `async` or not to `async` { #to-async-or-not-to-async }

As dependencies will also be called by **FastAPI** (the same as your *path operation functions*), the same rules apply while defining your functions.

### Testing file { #testing-file }

Then you could have a file `test_main.py` with your tests. It could live on the same Python package (the same directory with a `__init__.py` file):

``` hl_lines="5"
.
├── app
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── main.py
│   └── test_main.py
```

Because this file is in the same package, you can use relative imports to import the object `app` from the `main` module (`main.py`):

And these same full-stack generators were the base of the [**FastAPI** Project Generators](project-generation.md).

/// info

Flask-apispec was created by the same Marshmallow developers.

/// check | Inspired **FastAPI** to

Generate the OpenAPI schema automatically, from the same code that defines serialization and validation.

///

You should never save plaintext passwords, so, we'll use the (fake) password hashing system.

If the passwords don't match, we return the same error.

#### Password hashing { #password-hashing }

"Hashing" means: converting some content (a password in this case) into a sequence of bytes (just a string) that looks like gibberish.

/// note | Technical Details

You could also use `from starlette.templating import Jinja2Templates`.

**FastAPI** provides the same `starlette.templating` as `fastapi.templating` just as a convenience for you, the developer. But most of the available responses come directly from Starlette. The same with `Request` and `StaticFiles`.
