There are many tools to generate clients from **OpenAPI**.

A common tool is <a href="https://openapi-generator.tech/" class="external-link" target="_blank">OpenAPI Generator</a>.

If you are building a **frontend**, a very interesting alternative is <a href="https://github.com/hey-api/openapi-ts" class="external-link" target="_blank">openapi-ts</a>.

## Client and SDK Generators - Sponsor

!!! tip
    The "MINOR" is the number in the middle, for example, in `0.2.3`, the MINOR version is `2`.

## Upgrading the FastAPI versions

You should add tests for your app.

With **FastAPI** it's very easy (thanks to Starlette), check the docs: [Testing](../tutorial/testing.md){.internal-link target=_blank}

It is based on <a href="https://www.python-httpx.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">HTTPX</a>, which in turn is designed based on Requests, so it's very familiar and intuitive.

With it, you can use <a href="https://docs.pytest.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">pytest</a> directly with **FastAPI**.

## Using `TestClient`

!!! info

Reading a file from disk is normally a costly (slow) operation, so you probably want to do it only once and then re-use the same settings object, instead of reading it for each request.

But every time we do:

```Python
Settings()
```

a new `Settings` object would be created, and at creation it would read the `.env` file again.

If the dependency function was just like:

```Python

    ...
```

    如果您需要异步连接到关系数据库，请参阅[Async SQL (Relational) Databases](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/zh/advanced/async-sql-databases/)

!!! note "Very Technical Details"
    如果您很好奇并且拥有深厚的技术知识，您可以在[Async](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/zh/async/#very-technical-details)文档中查看有关如何处理 `async def`于`def`差别的技术细节。

## 迁移

因为我们直接使用 SQLAlchemy，并且我们不需要任何类型的插件来使用**FastAPI**，所以我们可以直接将数据库迁移至[Alembic](https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/)进行集成。

<div class="termy">

```console
// Use the command "serve" after running "build-all"
$ python ./scripts/docs.py serve

Warning: this is a very simple server. For development, use mkdocs serve instead.
This is here only to preview a site with translations already built.
Make sure you run the build-all command first.

Let's imagine that loading the model can **take quite some time**, because it has to read a lot of **data from disk**. So you don't want to do it for every request.

For large responses, returning a `Response` directly is much faster than returning a dictionary.

from fastapi.testclient import TestClient

from docs_src.query_params.tutorial005 import app

client = TestClient(app)


def test_foo_needy_very():
    response = client.get("/items/foo?needy=very")
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json() == {"item_id": "foo", "needy": "very"}


def test_foo_no_needy():
    response = client.get("/items/foo")
    assert response.status_code == 422

            "description": "A very nice Item",
            "price": 35.4,
            "tax": 3.2,
        },
    )
    assert response.status_code == 200
