but you might want to omit them from the result if they were not actually stored.

For example, if you have models with many optional attributes in a NoSQL database, but you don't want to send very long JSON responses full of default values.

### Use the `response_model_exclude_unset` parameter

Now, when the clients **create a new hero**, they will send the `secret_name`, it will be stored in the database, but those secret names won't be returned in the API to the clients.

/// tip

This is how you would handle **passwords**. Receive them, but don't return them in the API.

You would also **hash** the values of the passwords before storing them, **never store them in plain text**.

///

The fields of `HeroCreate` are:

   *
   * <p>Note that {@code toArray(new Object[0])} is identical in function to {@code toArray()}.
   *
   * @param a the array into which the elements of the queue are to be stored, if it is big enough;
   *     otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose
   * @return an array containing all of the elements in this queue

  unsigned char is_list;

  // Length of the list if is_list is true. Undefined otherwise.
  int64_t list_size;

  // Type of elements of the list if is_list != 0.
  // Type of the single value stored in the attribute if is_list == 0.
  TF_AttrType type;

  // Total size the attribute value.
  // The units of total_size depend on is_list and type.
  // (1) If type == TF_ATTR_STRING and is_list == 0

And be compatible with all of them at the same time.

///

Create a utility function to hash a password coming from the user.

And another utility to verify if a received password matches the hash stored.

And another one to authenticate and return a user.
