### Motivation

This library makes it easy to test that your app Does The Right Thing when it
makes HTTP and HTTPS calls. It lets you specify which responses to return and
then verify that requests were made as expected.

Because it exercises your full HTTP stack, you can be confident that you're
testing everything. You can even copy & paste HTTP responses from your real web

If you feel lost with all these **"regular expression"** ideas, don't worry. They are a hard topic for many people. You can still do a lot of stuff without needing regular expressions yet.

Now you know that whenever you need them you can use them in **FastAPI**.

## Default values { #default-values }

You can, of course, use default values other than `None`.

### What is "Mounting" { #what-is-mounting }

"Mounting" means adding a complete "independent" application in a specific path, that then takes care of handling all the sub-paths.

Here you will see different recipes or "how to" guides for **several topics**.

Most of these ideas would be more or less **independent**, and in most cases you should only need to study them if they apply directly to **your project**.

If something seems interesting and useful to your project, go ahead and check it, but otherwise, you might probably just skip them.

## Tests { #tests }

Make sure you have [tests](../tutorial/testing.md) for your app and you run them on continuous integration (CI).

This way, you can do the upgrade and make sure everything is still working as expected.

You can use Pydantic Settings to handle the settings or configurations for your application, with all the power of Pydantic models.

* By using a dependency you can simplify testing.
* You can use `.env` files with it.

    #  Basically you don't need to specify this if the project style is as follows:

    #     you don't need to set up this property!
