# ~~NoSQL (Distributed / Big Data) Databases with Couchbase~~ (deprecated)

!!! 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.

Use the `tags` parameter with your *path operations* (and `APIRouter`s) to assign them to different tags:

```Python hl_lines="21  26"
{!../../../docs_src/metadata/tutorial004.py!}
```

!!! info
    Read more about tags in [Path Operation Configuration](path-operation-configuration.md#tags){.internal-link target=_blank}.

### Check the docs

Now, if you check the docs, they will show all the additional metadata:

We annotate the function return type as `BaseUser`, but we are actually returning a `UserIn` instance.

The editor, mypy, and other tools won't complain about this because, in typing terms, `UserIn` is a subclass of `BaseUser`, which means it's a *valid* type when what is expected is anything that is a `BaseUser`.

### FastAPI Data Filtering

!!! tip
    To know more about each status code and which code is for what, check the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status" class="external-link" target="_blank"><abbr title="Mozilla Developer Network">MDN</abbr> documentation about HTTP status codes</a>.

## Shortcut to remember the names

Let's see the previous example again:

---

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

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

                This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or
                SDKs for your API.

                Read more about it in the
                [FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/generate-clients/#custom-generate-unique-id-function).
                """
            ),
        ] = Default(generate_unique_id),

# Static Files - `StaticFiles`

You can use the `StaticFiles` class to serve static files, like JavaScript, CSS, images, etc.

Read more about it in the [FastAPI docs for Static Files](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/static-files/).

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

```python
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles
```

By the last <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/research/python-developers-survey-2018/#development-tools" class="external-link" target="_blank">Python Developer Survey</a>, that covers about 80% of the users.

It means that **FastAPI** was specifically tested with the editors used by 80% of the Python developers. And as most of the other editors tend to work similarly, all its benefits should work for virtually all editors.
