`FastAPI` is a Python class that provides all the functionality for your API.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    `FastAPI` is a class that inherits directly from `Starlette`.

    You can use all the <a href="https://www.starlette.io/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Starlette</a> functionality with `FastAPI` too.

Just keep in mind that when you read "server" in general, it could refer to one of those two things.

When referring to the remote machine, it's common to call it **server**, but also **machine**, **VM** (virtual machine), **node**. Those all refer to some type of remote machine, normally running Linux, where you run programs.

## Install the Server Program

You can install an ASGI compatible server with:

=== "Uvicorn"

    If there were any background tasks (documented later), they will run *after* all the middleware.

## Create a middleware

To create a middleware you use the decorator `@app.middleware("http")` on top of a function.

The middleware function receives:

* The `request`.
* A function `call_next` that will receive the `request` as a parameter.

class CallableDependency:
    def __call__(self, value: str) -> str:
        return value


class CallableGenDependency:
    def __call__(self, value: str) -> Generator[str, None, None]:
        yield value


class AsyncCallableDependency:
    async def __call__(self, value: str) -> str:
        return value


class AsyncCallableGenDependency:
    async def __call__(self, value: str) -> AsyncGenerator[str, None]:

import time

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request

app = FastAPI()


@app.middleware("http")
async def add_process_time_header(request: Request, call_next):
    start_time = time.time()
    response = await call_next(request)
    process_time = time.time() - start_time
    response.headers["X-Process-Time"] = str(process_time)

@app.post("/")
async def post(
    foo: Union[Foo, None] = None,
):
    return foo


client = TestClient(app)


def test_call_invalid():
    response = client.post("/", json={"foo": {"bar": "baz"}})
    assert response.status_code == 422


def test_call_valid():
    response = client.post("/", json={})
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json() == {}

假设要创建校验查询参数 `q` 是否包含固定内容的依赖项。

但此处要把待检验的固定内容定义为参数。

## **可调用**实例

Python 可以把类实例变为**可调用项**。

这里说的不是类本身（类本就是可调用项），而是类实例。

为此，需要声明 `__call__` 方法：

```Python hl_lines="10"
{!../../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial011.py!}
```

本例中，**FastAPI**  使用 `__call__` 检查附加参数及子依赖项，稍后，还要调用它向*路径操作函数*传递值。

## 参数化实例

接下来，使用 `__init__` 声明用于**参数化**依赖项的实例参数：

But you can have thousands of endpoints (*path operations*) using the same security system.

And all of them (or any portion of them that you want) can take the advantage of re-using these dependencies or any other dependencies you create.

And all these thousands of *path operations* can be as small as 3 lines:

            return self.fixed_content in q

    fake_hashed_password = user.password + "notreallyhashed"
