You can use the `TestClient` class to test FastAPI applications without creating an actual HTTP and socket connection, just communicating directly with the FastAPI code.

Read more about it in the [FastAPI docs for Testing](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/testing/).

You can import it directly from `fastapi.testclient`:

```python
from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
```

# Dependencies - `Depends()` and `Security()`

## `Depends()`

Dependencies are handled mainly with the special function `Depends()` that takes a callable.

Here is the reference for it and its parameters.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import Depends
```

::: fastapi.Depends

## `Security()`

By using all the previous alternatives I had the chance to learn from all of them, take ideas, and combine them in the best way I could find for myself and the teams of developers I have worked with.

For example, it was clear that ideally it should be based on standard Python type hints.

Also, the best approach was to use already existing standards.

    'email': '******@****.***',
    'full_name': None,
}
```

#### Unwrapping a `dict`

If we take a `dict` like `user_dict` and pass it to a function (or class) with `**user_dict`, Python will "unwrap" it. It will pass the keys and values of the `user_dict` directly as key-value arguments.

So, continuing with the `user_dict` from above, writing:

```Python
UserInDB(**user_dict)
```

would result in something equivalent to:

        getTopLevelDeclarations(nameFilter) { it.getTopLevelCallables() }
    }

    override fun getCallableSymbols(names: Collection<Name>): Sequence<KtCallableSymbol> = withValidityAssertion {
        if (names.isEmpty()) return emptySequence()
        val namesSet = names.toSet()
        return getCallableSymbols { it in namesSet }
    }

                if (it.containingDeclaration != descriptor) return@mapNotNull null
                KtFe10DescTypeParameterSymbol(it, analysisContext)
            }
        }

    override fun createPointer(): KtSymbolPointer<KtConstructorSymbol> = withValidityAssertion {
        KtPsiBasedSymbolPointer.createForSymbolFromSource<KtConstructorSymbol>(this)?.let {
            return it
        }

    override val annotationsList: KtAnnotationsList
        get() = withValidityAssertion {
            descriptor?.let { KtFe10AnnotationsList.create(it.annotations, analysisContext) } ?: KtEmptyAnnotationsList(token)
        }

    @OptIn(KtAnalysisApiInternals::class)
    override fun createPointer(): KtSymbolPointer<KtPropertySetterSymbol> = withValidityAssertion {

            val dependencyBuildIds = performanceTestProject.performanceTests
                .filter { it.testProjects.isNotEmpty() }
                .joinToString(",") { "%dep.${it.id}.env.BUILD_ID%" }

            val dependencyBaselines = performanceTestProject.performanceTests.first { it.testProjects.isNotEmpty() }.let { "%dep.${it.id}.performance.baselines%" }

  // Requested signer for the request. It is a qualified name in the form:

  // If empty, it will be defaulted:

  //  2. If it's a kubelet serving certificate, it is assigned
  //     "kubernetes.io/kubelet-serving".
  //  3. Otherwise, it is assigned "kubernetes.io/legacy-unknown".

    } catch (uhe: UnknownHostException) {
      // expected
    }
