# OS specific support. $var _must_ be set to either true or false.

Up to now, you have been declaring the parts of the request that you need with their types.

Taking data from:

* The path as parameters.
* Headers.
* Cookies.
* etc.

And by doing so, **FastAPI** is validating that data, converting it and generating documentation for your API automatically.

But there are situations where you might need to access the `Request` object directly.

* Never store plaintext passwords, only password hashes.
* Implement and use well-known cryptographic tools, like pwdlib and JWT tokens, etc.
* Add more granular permission controls with OAuth2 scopes where needed.
* ...etc.

E claro, ele suporta o mesmo:

* validação de dados
* serialização de dados
* documentação de dados, etc.

Isso funciona da mesma forma que com os modelos Pydantic. E na verdade é alcançado da mesma maneira por baixo dos panos, usando Pydantic.

/// info | Informação

* `@app.get()`
* `@app.post()`
* `@app.put()`
* `@app.delete()`
* etc.

{* ../../docs_src/response_status_code/tutorial001_py39.py hl[6] *}

/// note

Notice that `status_code` is a parameter of the "decorator" method (`get`, `post`, etc). Not of your *path operation function*, like all the parameters and body.

///

Y por supuesto, soporta lo mismo:

* validación de datos
* serialización de datos
* documentación de datos, etc.

Esto funciona de la misma manera que con los modelos de Pydantic. Y en realidad se logra de la misma manera internamente, utilizando Pydantic.

Voici un petit bout de cette histoire.

## Alternatives

Je crée des API avec des exigences complexes depuis plusieurs années (Machine Learning, systèmes distribués, jobs asynchrones, bases de données NoSQL, etc), en dirigeant plusieurs équipes de développeurs.

Dans ce cadre, j'ai dû étudier, tester et utiliser de nombreuses alternatives.

L'histoire de **FastAPI** est en grande partie l'histoire de ses prédécesseurs.

class HTTPException(StarletteHTTPException):
    """
    An HTTP exception you can raise in your own code to show errors to the client.

    This is for client errors, invalid authentication, invalid data, etc. Not for server
    errors in your code.

    Read more about it in the
    [FastAPI docs for Handling Errors](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/handling-errors/).

    ## Example

    ```python

}
```

Again, doing just that declaration, with **FastAPI** you get:

* Editor support (completion, etc.), even for nested models
* Data conversion
* Data validation
* Automatic documentation

## Special types and validation { #special-types-and-validation }

Apart from normal singular types like `str`, `int`, `float`, etc. you can use more complex singular types that inherit from `str`.

# Static Files - `StaticFiles`

You can use the `StaticFiles` class to serve static files, like JavaScript, CSS, images, etc.

Read more about it in the [FastAPI docs for Static Files](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/static-files/).

You can import it directly from `fastapi.staticfiles`:

```python
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles
```
