    That `@something` syntax in Python is called a "decorator".

    You put it on top of a function. Like a pretty decorative hat (I guess that's where the term came from).

    A "decorator" takes the function below and does something with it.

    "servers": [
        {
            "url": "/api/v1"
        }
    ],
    "paths": {
            // More stuff here
    }
}
```

In this example, the "Proxy" could be something like **Traefik**. And the server would be something like FastAPI CLI with **Uvicorn**, running your FastAPI application.

### Providing the `root_path`

To achieve this, you can use the command line option `--root-path` like:

<div class="termy">

But at some point, there was no other option than creating something that provided all these features, taking the best ideas from previous tools, and combining them in the best way possible, using language features that weren't even available before (Python 3.6+ type hints).

## Previous tools

`Optional[Something]` насправді є скороченням для `Union[Something, None]`, вони еквівалентні.

Це також означає, що в Python 3.10 ви можете використовувати `Something | None`:

=== "Python 3.8 і вище"

    ```Python hl_lines="1  4"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial009.py!}
    ```

...but continue reading below to see how to overcome that.

## Return Type and Data Filtering

Let's continue from the previous example. We wanted to **annotate the function with one type** but return something that includes **more data**.

We want FastAPI to keep **filtering** the data using the response model.

We also saw that HTTPS is normally provided by a component **external** to your application server, a **TLS Termination Proxy**.

And there has to be something in charge of **renewing the HTTPS certificates**, it could be the same component or it could be something different.

### Example Tools for HTTPS

Some of the tools you could use as a TLS Termination Proxy are:

* Traefik

### About `{**note.dict(), "id": last_record_id}`

`note` is a Pydantic `Note` object.

`note.dict()` returns a `dict` with its data, something like:

```Python
{
    "text": "Some note",
    "completed": False,
}
```

but it doesn't have the `id` field.

`Optional[Something]` is actually a shortcut for `Union[Something, None]`, they are equivalent.

This also means that in Python 3.10, you can use `Something | None`:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="1"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial009_py310.py!}
    ```

* путь `/`
* использующих <abbr title="HTTP GET метод"><code>get</code> операцию</abbr>

    Синтаксис `@something` в Python называется "декоратор".

    Вы помещаете его над функцией. Как красивую декоративную шляпу (думаю, что оттуда и происходит этот термин).

    "Декоратор" принимает функцию ниже и выполняет с ней какое-то действие.

        That including `uvloop`, the high-performance drop-in replacement for `asyncio`, that provides the big concurrency performance boost.

        When you install FastAPI with something like `pip install fastapi` you already get `uvicorn[standard]` as well.
