"_I’m over the moon excited about **FastAPI**. It’s so fun!_"

    * A cookie.
* `http`: standard HTTP authentication systems, including:
    * `bearer`: a header `Authorization` with a value of `Bearer ` plus a token. This is inherited from OAuth2.
    * HTTP Basic authentication.
    * HTTP Digest, etc.
* `oauth2`: all the OAuth2 ways to handle security (called "flows").
    * Several of these flows are appropriate for building an OAuth 2.0 authentication provider (like Google, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, etc):

#### Das Problem beheben mittels `secrets.compare_digest()`

Aber in unserem Code verwenden wir tatsächlich `secrets.compare_digest()`.

Damit wird, kurz gesagt, der Vergleich von `stanleyjobsox` mit `stanleyjobson` genauso lange dauern wie der Vergleich von `johndoe` mit `stanleyjobson`. Und das Gleiche gilt für das Passwort.

    But by declaring the type as `Session`, the editor now can know the available methods (`.add()`, `.query()`, `.commit()`, etc) and can provide better support (like completion). The type declaration doesn't affect the actual object.

### Create your **FastAPI** *path operations*

    Notice that in this case we are using a standard Python `open()` function that interacts with a file.

    So, it involves I/O (input/output), that requires "waiting" for things to be written to disk.

    But `open()` doesn't use `async` and `await`.

    So, we declare the event handler function with standard `def` instead of `async def`.

### `startup` and `shutdown` together

    with the API key and integrates that into the OpenAPI documentation. It extracts
    the key value sent in the query parameter automatically and provides it as the
    dependency result. But it doesn't define how to send that API key to the client.

    ## Usage

    Create an instance object and use that object as the dependency in `Depends()`.

    The dependency result will be a string containing the key value.

This client could be a browser with a frontend, a code from someone else, an IoT device, etc.

You could need to tell the client that:

* The client doesn't have enough privileges for that operation.
* The client doesn't have access to that resource.
* The item the client was trying to access doesn't exist.
* etc.

In these cases, you would normally return an **HTTP status code** in the range of **400** (from 400 to 499).

Python will complain if you put a value with a "default" before a value that doesn't have a "default".

But you can re-order them, and have the value without a default (the query parameter `q`) first.

It doesn't matter for **FastAPI**. It will detect the parameters by their names, types and default declarations (`Query`, `Path`, etc), it doesn't care about the order.

So, you can declare your function as:

    """
    Create an item with all the information:

    - **name**: each item must have a name
    - **description**: a long description
    - **price**: required
    - **tax**: if the item doesn't have tax, you can omit this
    - **tags**: a set of unique tag strings for this item
    """
