There is a `#contributing` channel on the community Slack which you can use
to ask any questions.

## Finding issues to work on

If you are looking for good first issues, take a look at the list of [good first issues](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/labels/good%20first%20issue) that should be actionable and ready for a contribution.

	for i := range errs {
		errs[i] = errDiskOngoingReq
	}

	done := make(chan bool, er.setDriveCount)
	disks := er.getDisks()

	ropts := ReadOptions{
		ReadData:         readData,
		InclFreeVersions: opts.InclFreeVersions,
		Healing:          false,
	}

	mrfCheck := make(chan FileInfo)
	defer xioutil.SafeClose(mrfCheck)

	var rw sync.Mutex

	// Ask for all disks first;

## Base64 vs Files { #base64-vs-files }

Consider first if you can use [Request Files](../tutorial/request-files.md) for uploading binary data and [Custom Response - FileResponse](./custom-response.md#fileresponse--fileresponse-) for sending binary data, instead of encoding it in JSON.

JSON can only contain UTF-8 encoded strings, so it can't contain raw bytes.

These are the tasks that can be performed to manage the FastAPI repository by [team members](./fastapi-people.md#team).

/// tip

This section is useful only to a handful of people, team members with permissions to manage the repository. You can probably skip it. 😉

...so, you are a [team member of FastAPI](./fastapi-people.md#team)? Wow, you are so cool! 😎

A versatile option is the [OpenAPI Generator](https://openapi-generator.tech/), which supports **many programming languages** and can generate SDKs from your OpenAPI specification.

For **TypeScript clients**, [Hey API](https://heyapi.dev/) is a purpose-built solution, providing an optimized experience for the TypeScript ecosystem.

You can discover more SDK generators on [OpenAPI.Tools](https://openapi.tools/#sdk).

// Describe - implements prometheus.Collector interface.
func (mg *MetricsGroup) Describe(ch chan<- *prometheus.Desc) {
	for _, desc := range mg.Descriptors {
		ch <- desc.toPromDesc(mg.CollectorPath.metricPrefix(), mg.ExtraLabels)
	}
}

// Collect - implements prometheus.Collector interface.
func (mg *MetricsGroup) Collect(ch chan<- prometheus.Metric) {
	metricValues := newMetricValues(mg.descriptorMap)

	var err error

But you can configure the **application server** to trust the *forwarded* headers sent by the **proxy**. If you are using FastAPI CLI, you can use the *CLI Option* `--forwarded-allow-ips` to tell it from which IPs it should trust those *forwarded* headers.

You can think of `APIRouter` as a "mini `FastAPI`" class.

All the same options are supported.

All the same `parameters`, `responses`, `dependencies`, `tags`, etc.

/// tip

In this example, the variable is called `router`, but you can name it however you want.

require approval from native speakers for translation PRs generated automatically by our translation workflow. However, you can still review them and suggest improvements to the LLM prompt for that language to make the future translations better.

You can check the currently [existing pull requests](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/pulls) for your language. You can filter the pull requests by the ones with the label for your language. For example, for Spanish, the label is [`lang-es`](...

If you use any other tool to manage your installations, like `uv`, Poetry, Pipenv, or others, they all have a way that you can use to define specific versions for your packages.

## Available versions { #available-versions }

You can see the available versions (e.g. to check what is the current latest) in the [Release Notes](../release-notes.md).
