#### <abbr title="Union – Verbund, Einheit‚ Vereinigung: Eines von Mehreren">Union</abbr>

Sie können deklarieren, dass eine Variable einer von **verschiedenen Typen** sein kann, zum Beispiel ein `int` oder ein `str`.

In Python 3.6 und höher (inklusive Python 3.10) können Sie den `Union`-Typ von `typing` verwenden und die möglichen Typen innerhalb der eckigen Klammern auflisten.

from pydantic import BaseModel

app = FastAPI()


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

    class Config:
        schema_extra = {
            "examples": [
                {
                    "name": "Foo",
                    "description": "A very nice Item",

#### Utilizando `Union` ou `Optional`

Se você está utilizando uma versão do Python abaixo da 3.10, aqui vai uma dica do meu ponto de vista bem **subjetivo**:

* 🚨 Evite utilizar `Optional[SomeType]`
* No lugar, ✨ **use `Union[SomeType, None]`** ✨.
