Now let's extend this example and add more details to see how to test different parts.

### Extended **FastAPI** app file { #extended-fastapi-app-file }

Let's continue with the same file structure as before:

```
.
├── app
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── main.py
│   └── test_main.py
```

* And many other things

## Conclusion { #conclusion }

If you read and understood all this, now **you know much more** about virtual environments than many developers out there. 🤓

You can also declare a body as a `dict` with keys of some type and values of some other type.

This way, you don't have to know beforehand what the valid field/attribute names are (as would be the case with Pydantic models).

This would be useful if you want to receive keys that you don't already know.

---

Another useful case is when you want to have keys of another type (e.g., `int`).

# Body - Multiple Parameters { #body-multiple-parameters }

Now that we have seen how to use `Path` and `Query`, let's see more advanced uses of request body declarations.

## Mix `Path`, `Query` and body parameters { #mix-path-query-and-body-parameters }

First, of course, you can mix `Path`, `Query` and request body parameter declarations freely and **FastAPI** will know what to do.

You can create production applications with **FastAPI** right now (and you have probably been doing it for some time), you just have to make sure that you use a version that works correctly with the rest of your code.

## Pin your `fastapi` version { #pin-your-fastapi-version }

The first thing you should do is to "pin" the version of **FastAPI** you are using to the specific latest version that you know works correctly for your application.

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial003.py hl[1] *}

Because the editor knows the types of the variables, you don't only get completion, you also get error checks:

<img src="/img/python-types/image04.png">

Now you know that you have to fix it, convert `age` to a string with `str(age)`:

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial004.py hl[2] *}

### Summary { #summary }

I used to say I didn't like history that much... and look at me now giving "tech history" lessons. 😅

<a href="https://x.com/compose/tweet?text=I'm loving @fastapi because... https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi" class="external-link" target="_blank">Tweet about **FastAPI**</a> and let me and others know why you like it. 🎉

I love to hear about how **FastAPI** is being used, what you have liked in it, in which project/company are you using it, etc.

        final long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
        int retry = 1;

        do {
            if (this.dcListExpiration < now) {
                final Address[] list = getTransportContext().getNameServiceClient().getNbtAllByName(domain, 0x1C, null, null);
                this.dcListExpiration = now + this.netbiosCacheTimeout * 1000L;

    return {"Hello": "World"}


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