But then, the project's focus shifted.

It was no longer an API web framework, as the creator needed to focus on Starlette.

Now APIStar is a set of tools to validate OpenAPI specifications, not a web framework.

    APIStar was created by Tom Christie. The same guy that created:

You want to have the *path operations* related to your users separated from the rest of the code, to keep it organized.

But it's still part of the same **FastAPI** application/web API (it's part of the same "Python Package").

You can create the *path operations* for that module using `APIRouter`.

### Import `APIRouter`

You import it and create an "instance" the same way you would with the class `FastAPI`:

Here, this section would run directly, right before starting your **FastAPI** application.

* Create an `engine`.
* Create all the tables from the `metadata` object.

```Python hl_lines="25-28"

```

## Create models

Create Pydantic models for:
