# Learn { #learn }

Here are the introductory sections and the tutorials to learn **FastAPI**.

Or you might have any other way to communicate with the WebSocket endpoint.

But for this example, we'll use a very simple HTML document with some JavaScript, all inside a long string.

This, of course, is not optimal and you wouldn't use it for production.

In production you would have one of the options above.

But it's the simplest way to focus on the server-side of WebSockets and have a working example:

# CMD ["fastapi", "run", "app/main.py", "--port", "80", "--proxy-headers"]
```

## What is a Container { #what-is-a-container }

Containers (mainly Linux containers) are a very **lightweight** way to package applications including all their dependencies and necessary files while keeping them isolated from other containers (other applications or components) in the same system.

# Response Model - Return Type { #response-model-return-type }

You can declare the type used for the response by annotating the *path operation function* **return type**.

You can use **type annotations** the same way you would for input data in function **parameters**, you can use Pydantic models, lists, dictionaries, scalar values like integers, booleans, etc.

Import `Form` from `fastapi`:

{* ../../docs_src/request_forms/tutorial001_an_py39.py hl[3] *}

## Define `Form` parameters { #define-form-parameters }

Create form parameters the same way you would for `Body` or `Query`:

{* ../../docs_src/request_forms/tutorial001_an_py39.py hl[9] *}

   * <p>If {@code node} is removed from the network after this method is called, the {@code Set}
   * {@code view} returned by this method will be invalidated, and will throw {@code
   * IllegalStateException} if it is accessed in any way, with the following exceptions:
   *
   * <ul>
   *   <li>{@code view.equals(view)} evaluates to {@code true} (but any other {@code equals()}
   *       expression involving {@code view} will throw)

# About HTTPS { #about-https }

It is easy to assume that HTTPS is something that is just "enabled" or not.

But it is way more complex than that.

/// tip

If you are in a hurry or don't care, continue with the next sections for step by step instructions to set everything up with different techniques.

These are the exceptions that you can raise to show errors to the client.

When you raise an exception, as would happen with normal Python, the rest of the execution is aborted. This way you can raise these exceptions from anywhere in the code to abort a request and show the error to the client.

You can use:

* `HTTPException`
* `WebSocketException`

 Unified source directory structure that is analogous to the repository
 itself. This way locations of intermediary artifacts of a build would be
 in a known location. This would also help with developer setup i.e. getting
 new developers up and running. They could run a maven command and have all
 their source trees set up in the same way as their colleagues.

 here's what I do currently in the netbeans part of the mavenide project to

We can do better...

## What makes a dependency { #what-makes-a-dependency }

Up to now you have seen dependencies declared as functions.

But that's not the only way to declare dependencies (although it would probably be the more common).

The key factor is that a dependency should be a "callable".

A "**callable**" in Python is anything that Python can "call" like a function.
