A middleware doesn't have to be made for FastAPI or Starlette to work, as long as it follows the ASGI spec.

In general, ASGI middlewares are classes that expect to receive an ASGI app as the first argument.

but you might want to omit them from the result if they were not actually stored.

For example, if you have models with many optional attributes in a NoSQL database, but you don't want to send very long JSON responses full of default values.

### Use the `response_model_exclude_unset` parameter

You can set the *path operation decorator* parameter `response_model_exclude_unset=True`:

    And after searching for a long time for a similar framework and testing many different alternatives, APIStar was the best option available.

## Vous êtes pressés ?

<abbr title="'too long; didn't read' en anglais, ou 'trop long ; j'ai pas lu'"><strong>TL;DR :</strong></abbr>

Si vous utilisez des bibliothèques tierces qui nécessitent d'être appelées avec `await`, telles que :

```Python
results = await some_library()
```

    "W",  # pycodestyle warnings
    "F",  # pyflakes
    "I",  # isort
    "B",  # flake8-bugbear
    "C4",  # flake8-comprehensions
    "UP",  # pyupgrade
]
ignore = [
    "E501",  # line too long, handled by black
    "B008",  # do not perform function calls in argument defaults
    "C901",  # too complex
    "W191",  # indentation contains tabs
]

[tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores]

And you want to have a way for the frontend to authenticate with the backend, using a **username** and **password**.

We can use **OAuth2** to build that with **FastAPI**.

But let's save you the time of reading the full long specification just to find those little pieces of information you need.

Let's use the tools provided by **FastAPI** to handle security.

## How it looks

Only one process can be handling the specific IP and port (the TLS Termination Proxy in our example) but the other applications/processes can be running on the server(s) too, as long as they don't try to use the same **combination of public IP and port**.
