<div class="termy">

    ```console
    $ pip install "uvicorn[standard]"

    ---> 100%
    ```

    </div>

    !!! tip
        By adding the `standard`, Uvicorn will install and use some recommended extra dependencies.

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

## About Starlette

You shouldn't pin the version of `starlette`.

Different versions of **FastAPI** will use a specific newer version of Starlette.

So, you can just let **FastAPI** use the correct Starlette version.

## About Pydantic

## Run it

After that, you just need to install `pytest`:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install pytest

---> 100%
```

</div>

It will detect the files and tests automatically, execute them, and report the results back to you.

Run the tests with:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pytest

!!! info
    These docs are about to be updated. 🎉

    The current version assumes Pydantic v1.

    The new docs will hopefully use Pydantic v2 and will use <a href="https://art049.github.io/odmantic/" class="external-link" target="_blank">ODMantic</a> with MongoDB.

!!! warning "Deprecated"
    This tutorial is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

### Technical Details: `root_path`

When you mount a sub-application as described above, FastAPI will take care of communicating the mount path for the sub-application using a mechanism from the ASGI specification called a `root_path`.

That way, the sub-application will know to use that path prefix for the docs UI.

```

### Create a custom `GzipRoute` class

Next, we create a custom subclass of `fastapi.routing.APIRoute` that will make use of the `GzipRequest`.

This time, it will overwrite the method `APIRoute.get_route_handler()`.

This method returns a function. And that function is what will receive a request and return a response.

Here we use it to create a `GzipRequest` from the original request.

```Python hl_lines="18-26"

    {!> ../../../docs_src/security/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

This dependency will provide a `str` that is assigned to the parameter `token` of the *path operation function*.

**FastAPI** will know that it can use this dependency to define a "security scheme" in the OpenAPI schema (and the automatic API docs).

!!! info "Technical Details"

**FastAPI** will do the automatic conversion from the request, so that the parameter `item` receives it's specific content and the same for `user`.

It will perform the validation of the compound data, and will document it like that for the OpenAPI schema and automatic docs.

## Singular values in body

```Python hl_lines="3-16  18"
{!../../../docs_src/metadata/tutorial004.py!}
```

Notice that you can use Markdown inside of the descriptions, for example "login" will be shown in bold (**login**) and "fancy" will be shown in italics (_fancy_).

!!! tip
    You don't have to add metadata for all the tags that you use.

### Use your tags

Hiding your documentation user interfaces in production *shouldn't* be the way to protect your API.

That doesn't add any extra security to your API, the *path operations* will still be available where they are.

If there's a security flaw in your code, it will still exist.
