### Import the dependencies

This code lives in the module `app.routers.items`, the file `app/routers/items.py`.

And we need to get the dependency function from the module `app.dependencies`, the file `app/dependencies.py`.

So we use a relative import with `..` for the dependencies:

```Python hl_lines="3" title="app/routers/items.py"
{!../../../docs_src/bigger_applications/app/routers/items.py!}

If you pass a custom list of `servers` and there's a `root_path` (because your API lives behind a proxy), **FastAPI** will insert a "server" with this `root_path` at the beginning of the list.

For example:

```Python hl_lines="4-7"
{!../../../docs_src/behind_a_proxy/tutorial003.py!}
```

Will generate an OpenAPI schema like:

```JSON hl_lines="5-7"
{
    "openapi": "3.1.0",
    // More stuff here
    "servers": [

```Python hl_lines="6  11"
{!../../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial003.py!}
```

Otherwise, the path for `/users/{user_id}` would match also for `/users/me`, "thinking" that it's receiving a parameter `user_id` with a value of `"me"`.

Similarly, you cannot redefine a path operation:

```Python hl_lines="6  11"
{!../../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial003b.py!}
```

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="12"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial002_py310.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.9+"

    ```Python hl_lines="14"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial002_py39.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="14"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial002.py!}
    ```

# Static Files

You can serve static files automatically from a directory using `StaticFiles`.

## Use `StaticFiles`

* Import `StaticFiles`.
* "Mount" a `StaticFiles()` instance in a specific path.

```Python hl_lines="2  6"
{!../../../docs_src/static_files/tutorial001.py!}
```

!!! note "Technical Details"
    You could also use `from starlette.staticfiles import StaticFiles`.

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial003.py!}
```

!!! note "Hinweis"
    Wenn Sie den Unterschied nicht kennen, lesen Sie [Async: *„In Eile?“*](../async.md#in-eile){.internal-link target=_blank}.

### Schritt 5: den Inhalt zurückgeben

```Python hl_lines="8"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

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
```

Because this file is in the same package, you can use relative imports to import the object `app` from the `main` module (`main.py`):

```Python hl_lines="3"
{!../../../docs_src/app_testing/test_main.py!}
```

```

* 🔎 🥉 🌐❔ 👈 `docs/features.md` 🔎 📁 📁. 👱 💖:

```YAML hl_lines="8"
site_name: FastAPI
# More stuff
nav:
- FastAPI: index.md
- Languages:
  - en: /
  - es: /es/
- features.md
```

* 🚮 ⚫️ 📤 ☑ 🎏 🗺 ⚫️ 🇪🇸, ✅:

```YAML hl_lines="8"

You could also define it as a normal function instead of `async def`:

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial003.py!}
```

!!! note
    If you don't know the difference, check the [Async: *"In a hurry?"*](../async.md#in-a-hurry){.internal-link target=_blank}.

### Step 5: return the content

```Python hl_lines="8"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

## Docs

First, make sure you set up your environment as described above, that will install all the requirements.

### Docs live

During local development, there is a script that builds the site and checks for any changes, live-reloading:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ python ./scripts/docs.py live
