Le paramètre de requête `q` a pour type `Union[str, None]` (ou `str | None` en Python 3.10), signifiant qu'il est de type `str` mais pourrait aussi être égal à `None`, et bien sûr, la valeur par défaut est `None`, donc **FastAPI** saura qu'il n'est pas requis.

/// note

**FastAPI** saura que la valeur de `q` n'est pas requise grâce à la valeur par défaut `= None`.

#### Utilizando `Union` ou `Optional` { #using-union-or-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]`** ✨.
