So, in a URL like:

```
https://example.com/items/foo
```

...the path would be:

```
/items/foo
```

/// info

A "path" is also commonly called an "endpoint" or a "route".

While building an API, the "path" is the main way to separate "concerns" and "resources".

#### Operation { #operation }

"Operation" here refers to one of the HTTP "methods".

tells SQLModel that the `id` is the **primary key** in the SQL database (you can learn more about SQL primary keys in the SQLModel docs).

    **Note:** We use `int | None` for the primary key field so that in Python code we can *create an object without an `id`* (`id=None`), assuming the database will *generate it when saving*. SQLModel understands that the database will provide the `id` and *defines the column as a non-null `INTEGER`* in the database schema. See [SQLModel docs on primary ke...
