In many cases your application could need some external settings or configurations, for example secret keys, database credentials, credentials for email services, etc.

Most of these settings are variable (can change), like database URLs. And many could be sensitive, like secrets.

For this reason it's common to provide them in environment variables that are read by the application.

## Environment Variables

!!! tip

    /**
     * Add a {@link org.apache.maven.model.Profile} that has come from an external source. This may be from a custom
     * configuration like the MavenCLI settings.xml file, or from a custom dialog in an IDE integration like M2Eclipse.
     *
     * @param profile
     */
    void addProfile(Profile profile);

    void setProfiles(List<Profile> profiles);

#### Unwrapping a `dict` and extra keywords

And then adding the extra keyword argument `hashed_password=hashed_password`, like in:

```Python
UserInDB(**user_in.dict(), hashed_password=hashed_password)
```

...ends up being like:

```Python
UserInDB(
    username = user_dict["username"],
    password = user_dict["password"],
    email = user_dict["email"],

			}, clause.Where{
				Exprs: []clause.Expression{clause.Or(clause.Gt{Column: "score", Value: 100}, clause.Like{Column: "name", Value: "%linus%"})},
			}},
			"SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `users`.`id` = ? AND `age` > ? OR `name` <> ? AND (`score` > ? OR `name` LIKE ?)",
			[]interface{}{"1", 18, "jinzhu", 100, "%linus%"},
		},
		{
			[]clause.Interface{clause.Select{}, clause.From{}, clause.Where{

this; `for it might end, you know,' said Alice to herself, `in my
going out altogether, like a candle.  I wonder what I should be
like then?'  And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is
like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember
ever having seen such a thing.

  After a while, finding that nothing more happened, she decided

## In a hurry?

<abbr title="too long; didn't read"><strong>TL;DR:</strong></abbr>

If you are using third party libraries that tell you to call them with `await`, like:

```Python
results = await some_library()
```

Then, declare your *path operation functions* with `async def` like:

```Python hl_lines="2"
@app.get('/')
async def read_results():
    results = await some_library()
    return results
```
