from fastapi import FastAPI, File, UploadFile
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/files/")
async def create_files(files: list[bytes] = File()):
    return {"file_sizes": [len(file) for file in files]}

And your **FastAPI** application might also be composed of several files/modules, etc.

### **FastAPI** app file

Let's say you have a file structure as described in [Bigger Applications](bigger-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}:

```
.
├── app
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── main.py
```

In the file `main.py` you have your **FastAPI** app:

    assert response.json() == {"message": "No upload file sent"}


def test_post_file(tmp_path):
    path = tmp_path / "test.txt"
    path.write_bytes(b"<file content>")

    client = TestClient(app)
    with path.open("rb") as file:
        response = client.post("/files/", files={"file": file})
    assert response.status_code == 200, response.text
    assert response.json() == {"file_size": 14}

from fastapi.testclient import TestClient

from docs_src.request_files.tutorial001_03_an import app

client = TestClient(app)


def test_post_file(tmp_path):
    path = tmp_path / "test.txt"
    path.write_bytes(b"<file content>")

    client = TestClient(app)
    with path.open("rb") as file:
        response = client.post("/files/", files={"file": file})
    assert response.status_code == 200, response.text

    assert response2.json() == [1, 2]


def test_is_bytes_sequence_annotation_union():
    # For coverage
    # TODO: in theory this would allow declaring types that could be lists of bytes
    # to be read from files and other types, but I'm not even sure it's a good idea
    # to support it as a first class "feature"
    assert is_bytes_sequence_annotation(Union[List[str], List[bytes]])


def test_is_uploadfile_sequence_annotation():

                    },
                    "summary": "Read File",
                    "operationId": "read_file_files__file_path__get",
                    "parameters": [
                        {
                            "required": True,
                            "schema": {"title": "File Path", "type": "string"},
                            "name": "file_path",
                            "in": "path",
                        }

## Dependencies for groups of *path operations*

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/files/{file_path:path}")
async def read_file(file_path: str):

# `UploadFile` class

You can define *path operation function* parameters to be of the type `UploadFile` to receive files from the request.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import UploadFile
```

::: fastapi.UploadFile
    options:
        members:
            - file
            - filename
            - size
            - headers
            - content_type
            - read
