Nous avions cette annotation de type :

```Python
q: str | None = None
```

Ce que nous allons faire, c’est l’englober avec `Annotated`, de sorte que cela devienne :

```Python
q: Annotated[str | None] = None
```

Les deux versions signifient la même chose, `q` est un paramètre qui peut être une `str` ou `None`, et par défaut, c’est `None`.

Passons maintenant aux choses amusantes. 🎉

Гарна новина: у більшості випадків ви зможете просто використовувати `|`, щоб визначати об'єднання типів:

```python
def say_hi(name: str | None):
    print(f"Hey {name}!")
```

    status_code, body = _bench_post_json(
        benchmark,
        client,
        "/sync/validated",
        json={"name": "foo", "value": 123},
    )
    assert status_code == 200
    assert body == b'{"name":"foo","value":123,"dep":42}'

app = FastAPI()


class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str | None = None
    description: str | None = None
    price: float | None = None
    tax: float = 10.5
    tags: list[str] = []


items = {
    "foo": {"name": "Foo", "price": 50.2},
    "bar": {"name": "Bar", "description": "The bartenders", "price": 62, "tax": 20.2},
    "baz": {"name": "Baz", "description": None, "price": 50.2, "tax": 10.5, "tags": []},
}

class Token(BaseModel):
    access_token: str
    token_type: str


class TokenData(BaseModel):
    username: str | None = None
    scopes: list[str] = []


class User(BaseModel):
    username: str
    email: str | None = None
    full_name: str | None = None
    disabled: bool | None = None


class UserInDB(User):
    hashed_password: str


password_hash = PasswordHash.recommended()

```Python
say_hi(name=None)  # Esto funciona, None es válido 🎉
```

La buena noticia es que, en la mayoría de los casos, podrás simplemente usar `|` para definir uniones de tipos:

```python
def say_hi(name: str | None):
    print(f"Hey {name}!")
```

```python
from typing import Union


def say_hi(name: Union[str, None]):
        print(f"Hi {name}!")
```

`typing` also has a shortcut to declare that something could be `None`, with `Optional`.

Here's a tip from my very **subjective** point of view:

* 🚨 Avoid using `Optional[SomeType]`
* Instead ✨ **use `Union[SomeType, None]`** ✨.
