This is very useful when you need to:

* Have shared logic (the same code logic again and again).
* Share database connections.
* Enforce security, authentication, role requirements, etc.
* And many other things...

All these, while minimizing code repetition.

## First Steps { #first-steps }

Let's see a very simple example. It will be so simple that it is not very useful, for now.

# ***** FALSE POSITIVES *****

# The Runnable type is so generic that it produces too many false positives.

## Other data types { #other-data-types }

Here are some of the additional data types you can use:

* `UUID`:
    * A standard "Universally Unique Identifier", common as an ID in many databases and systems.
    * In requests and responses will be represented as a `str`.
* `datetime.datetime`:
    * A Python `datetime.datetime`.
