```Python
q: Annotated[str, Query()] = "rick"
```

...or in older code bases you will find:

```Python
q: str = Query(default="rick")
```

### Advantages of `Annotated` { #advantages-of-annotated }

**Using `Annotated` is recommended** instead of the default value in function parameters, it is **better** for multiple reasons. 🤓

You can combine normal FastAPI *path operations* with GraphQL on the same application.

/// tip

**GraphQL** solves some very specific use cases.

It has **advantages** and **disadvantages** when compared to common **web APIs**.

Make sure you evaluate if the **benefits** for your use case compensate the **drawbacks**. 🤓

        There is always *some* alternative to adding a new feature to Guava, even if it's just
        forking Guava yourself.


        We want to see that new features have some significant advantage over the alternatives.
        These advantages can take
        [many forms](https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/PhilosophyExplained#utility), but taking
        the time to discuss them in detail will make it much clearer why this feature should be

## Introduction

Returns a set of temporary security credentials that you can use to access MinIO resources. AssumeRole requires authorization credentials for an existing user on MinIO. The advantages of this API are

Define a file parameter with a type of `UploadFile`:

{* ../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an_py39.py hl[14] *}

Using `UploadFile` has several advantages over `bytes`:

* You don't have to use `File()` in the default value of the parameter.
* It uses a "spooled" file:

- We limited the number of drives to 16 for erasure set because, erasure code shards more than 16 can become chatty and do not have any performance advantages. Additionally since 16 drive erasure set gives you tolerance of 8 drives per object by default which is plenty in any practical scenario.

```Python
q: Annotated[str, Query()] = "rick"
```

...или в старой кодовой базе вы увидите:

```Python
q: str = Query(default="rick")
```

### Преимущества `Annotated` { #advantages-of-annotated }

**Рекомендуется использовать `Annotated`** вместо задания значения по умолчанию в параметрах функции — так **лучше** по нескольким причинам. 🤓

This is just a **quick tutorial / refresher** about Python type hints. It covers only the minimum necessary to use them with **FastAPI**... which is actually very little.

**FastAPI** is all based on these type hints, they give it many advantages and benefits.

But even if you never use **FastAPI**, you would benefit from learning a bit about them.
