But I'll show you how to improve that next. 🤓

## Custom Operation IDs and Better Method Names

You can **modify** the way these operation IDs are **generated** to make them simpler and have **simpler method names** in the clients.

And in those cases, we can use classes and inheritance to take advantage of function **type annotations** to get better support in the editor and tools, and still get the FastAPI **data filtering**.

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="7-10  13-14  18"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial003_01_py310.py!}
    ```

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

    Then APIStar stopped to exist as a server and Starlette was created, and was a new better foundation for such a system. That was the final inspiration to build **FastAPI**.

If you are paying for 3 servers but you are using only a little bit of their RAM and CPU, you are probably **wasting money** 💸, and probably **wasting server electric power** 🌎, etc.

In that case, it could be better to have only 2 servers and use a higher percentage of their resources (CPU, memory, disk, network bandwidth, etc).

These **"type hints"** or annotations are a special syntax that allow declaring the <abbr title="for example: str, int, float, bool">type</abbr> of a variable.

By declaring types for your variables, editors and tools can give you better support.

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.

It is a project from the Linux Foundation. It provides **HTTPS certificates for free**, in an automated way. These certificates use all the standard cryptographic security, and are short-lived (about 3 months), so the **security is actually better** because of their reduced lifespan.

The domains are securely verified and the certificates are generated automatically. This also allows automating the renewal of these certificates.

Chaque personne devant vous attend 🕙 que son burger 🍔 soit prêt avant de quitter le comptoir car chacun des 8 serveurs va lui-même préparer le burger directement avant de prendre la commande suivante.

Puis c'est enfin votre tour, vous commandez 2 magnifiques burgers 🍔 pour vous et votre crush 😍.

Vous payez 💸.

!!! tip
    We are using an invented header to simplify this example.

    But in real cases you will get better results using the integrated [Security utilities](security/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## Another module with `APIRouter`

* Then check if the question (the vast majority are questions) is **clear**.

* In many cases the question asked is about an imaginary solution from the user, but there might be a **better** one. If you can understand the problem and use case better, you might be able to suggest a better **alternative solution**.

* If you can't understand the question, ask for more **details**.

### Reproduce the problem

!!! note
    FastAPI will know that the value of `q` is not required because of the default value `= None`.

    The `Union` in `Union[str, None]` will allow your editor to give you better support and detect errors.

## Additional validation

We are going to enforce that even though `q` is optional, whenever it is provided, **its length doesn't exceed 50 characters**.

### Import `Query` and `Annotated`
