////

In both cases this means that `item` could be an `int` or a `str`.

#### Possibly `None` { #possibly-none }

You can declare that a value could have a type, like `str`, but that it could also be `None`.

In Python 3.6 and above (including Python 3.10) you can declare it by importing and using `Optional` from the `typing` module.

```Python hl_lines="1  4"

app = FastAPI()


class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    price: float
    is_offer: Union[bool, None] = None


@app.get("/")
def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(item_id: int, q: Union[str, None] = None):
    return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}


@app.put("/items/{item_id}")
def update_item(item_id: int, item: Item):

Your response model could have default values, like:

{* ../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial004_py310.py hl[9,11:12] *}

* `description: Union[str, None] = None` (or `str | None = None` in Python 3.10) has a default of `None`.
* `tax: float = 10.5` has a default of `10.5`.
* `tags: List[str] = []` has a default of an empty list: `[]`.

from fastapi import FastAPI, Query

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/items/")
async def read_items(q: str | None = Query(default=None, alias="item-query")):
    results = {"items": [{"item_id": "Foo"}, {"item_id": "Bar"}]}
    if q:
        results.update({"q": q})

    return "fakehashed" + password


oauth2_scheme = OAuth2PasswordBearer(tokenUrl="token")


class User(BaseModel):
    username: str
    email: str | None = None
    full_name: str | None = None
    disabled: bool | None = None


class UserInDB(User):
    hashed_password: str


def get_user(db, username: str):
    if username in db:
        user_dict = db[username]

Оскільки за замовчуванням окремі значення інтерпретуються як параметри запиту, Вам не потрібно явно додавати `Query`, можна просто використати:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = None
```

Або в Python 3.10 та вище:

```Python
q: str | None = None
```

Наприклад:

{* ../../docs_src/body_multiple_params/tutorial004_an_py310.py hl[28] *}
