it is unlikely that we'll be able to remove `null` entirely.

After migrating to Java 8, we can use pluggable type checkers to ensure that our annotations are consistent, 
and there are no missing null checks.

## Decision

Use "NullAway" in JSpecify mode to check for null-related errors in Java code.

* **Consistency with dependencies**: Gradle's ecosystem and dependencies predominantly use American English

### Exceptions

Some legitimate exceptions exist where British English or other variants must be preserved:

* **Third-party APIs and libraries**: When integrating with external APIs that use different spelling conventions

# ADR-0001 - Use Architectural Decision Records

## Date

## Context

In a distributed team with many subteams, the best solution to communicate decisions is to use a format accessible by everyone in charge of development.

We use *Specification* and *Discovery* documents stored in Google Drive, but they present some downsides:

# ADR-0004 - Use a platform-oriented architecture for Gradle

## Date

2024-02-07

## Context

The Gradle code base is essentially a large monolith, without strong internal boundaries.
This has a number of negative effects on productivity, including:

- Unclear ownership of code.
- Difficult to focus on one particular area.
- Unintended coupling between areas of the code, including tests.

## Decision

# ADR-0006 - Use of Provider APIs in Gradle

## Date

2024-06-21

## Context

In this case, this `__call__` is what **FastAPI** will use to check for additional parameters and sub-dependencies, and this is what will be called to pass a value to the parameter in your *path operation function* later.

## Parameterize the instance { #parameterize-the-instance }

And now, we can use `__init__` to declare the parameters of the instance that we can use to "parameterize" the dependency:

/// danger

This is an "advanced" feature.

If you are just starting with **FastAPI** you might want to skip this section.

///

## Use cases { #use-cases }

Some use cases include:

* Converting non-JSON request bodies to JSON (e.g. <a href="https://msgpack.org/index.html" class="external-link" target="_blank">`msgpack`</a>).
* Decompressing gzip-compressed request bodies.

/// tip

You could use any other SQL or NoSQL database library you want (in some cases called <abbr title="Object Relational Mapper: a fancy term for a library where some classes represent SQL tables and instances represent rows in those tables">"ORMs"</abbr>), FastAPI doesn't force you to use anything. 😎

///

Let's say that you want to use a different <abbr title="Content Delivery Network">CDN</abbr>, for example you want to use `https://unpkg.com/`.

This could be useful if for example you live in a country that restricts some URLs.

### Disable the automatic docs { #disable-the-automatic-docs }

The first step is to disable the automatic docs, as by default, those use the default CDN.

But by using `Security` instead of `Depends`, **FastAPI** will know that it can declare security scopes, use them internally, and document the API with OpenAPI.

But when you import `Query`, `Path`, `Depends`, `Security` and others from `fastapi`, those are actually functions that return special classes.

///

## Use `SecurityScopes` { #use-securityscopes }

Now update the dependency `get_current_user`.
