If you use a `requirements.txt` file you could specify the version with:

```txt
fastapi==0.45.0
```

that would mean that you would use exactly the version `0.45.0`.

Or you could also pin it with:

```txt
fastapi>=0.45.0,<0.46.0
```

that would mean that you would use the versions `0.45.0` or above, but less than `0.46.0`, for example, a version `0.45.2` would still be accepted.

But for the generated client we could **modify** the OpenAPI operation IDs right before generating the clients, just to make those method names nicer and **cleaner**.

We could download the OpenAPI JSON to a file `openapi.json` and then we could **remove that prefixed tag** with a script like this:

=== "Python"

    ```Python

│   └── main.py
```

In the file `main.py` you have your **FastAPI** app:


```Python
{!../../../docs_src/app_testing/main.py!}
```

### 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
```

The only changes here are in the new testing file.

Your normal dependency `get_db()` would return a database session.

In the test, you could use a dependency override to return your *custom* database session instead of the one that would be used normally.

In this example we'll create a temporary database only for the tests.

## File structure

Depending on your use case, you might prefer to use a different library, but if you asked me, I would probably suggest you try **Strawberry**.

Here's a small preview of how you could integrate Strawberry with FastAPI:

```Python hl_lines="3  22  25-26"
{!../../../docs_src/graphql/tutorial001.py!}
```

    Nevertheless, it is already being used as a "standard" by several tools. This greatly improves interoperability, as you could switch Uvicorn for any other ASGI server (like Daphne or Hypercorn), or you could add ASGI compatible tools, like `python-socketio`.

!!! check "**FastAPI** uses it to"
    Handle all the core web parts. Adding features on top.

This Manager Process would probably be the one listening on the **port** in the IP. And it would transmit all the communication to the worker processes.

Those worker processes would be the ones running your application, they would perform the main computations to receive a **request** and return a **response**, and they would load anything you put in variables in RAM.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    You could also use `from starlette.requests import Request`.

    **FastAPI** provides it as a convenience for you, the developer. But it comes directly from Starlette.

### Before and after the `response`

So, the URL for that file would be something like: `/files/home/johndoe/myfile.txt`.

### OpenAPI support

OpenAPI doesn't support a way to declare a *path parameter* to contain a *path* inside, as that could lead to scenarios that are difficult to test and define.

Nevertheless, you can still do it in **FastAPI**, using one of the internal tools from Starlette.

And then, you could give that JWT token to a user (or bot), and they could use it to perform those actions (drive the car, or edit the blog post) without even needing to have an account, just with the JWT token your API generated for that.

Using these ideas, JWT can be used for way more sophisticated scenarios.

In those cases, several of those entities could have the same ID, let's say `foo` (a user `foo`, a car `foo`, and a blog post `foo`).
