MinIO supports two ways of encrypting IAM and configuration data.
You can either use KES - together with an external KMS - or, much simpler,
set the env. variable `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY` and start/restart the MinIO server. For more details about KES and how
to set it up refer to our [KMS Guide](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/kms/README.md).

Instead of configuring an external KMS you can start with a single key by

You can help with everything on [Help FastAPI - Get Help](./help-fastapi.md){.internal-link target=_blank} the same ways as external contributors. But additionally, there are some tasks that only you (as part of the team) can perform.

Here are the general instructions for the tasks you can perform.

Thanks a lot for your help. 🙇

## Be Nice

First of all, be nice. 😊

Go 1.24 changed the behavior of `go test -json` to emit build errors as JSON
instead of text.
These new JSON events are distinguished by new `Action` values,
but can still cause problems with CI systems that aren't robust to these events.
This behavior can be controlled with the `gotestjsonbuildtext` setting.
Using `gotestjsonbuildtext=1` restores the 1.23 behavior.
This setting will be removed in a future release, Go 1.28 at the earliest.

/// tip

You can set a dependency override for a dependency used anywhere in your **FastAPI** application.

The original dependency could be used in a *path operation function*, a *path operation decorator* (when you don't use the return value), a `.include_router()` call, etc.

FastAPI will still be able to override it.

`@lru_cache` is part of `functools` which is part of Python's standard library, you can read more about it in the <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.lru_cache" class="external-link" target="_blank">Python docs for `@lru_cache`</a>.

## Recap { #recap }

# Extra Data Types { #extra-data-types }

Up to now, you have been using common data types, like:

* `int`
* `float`
* `str`
* `bool`

But you can also use more complex data types.

And you will still have the same features as seen up to now:

* Great editor support.
* Data conversion from incoming requests.
* Data conversion for response data.
* Data validation.
* Automatic annotation and documentation.

# Background Tasks - `BackgroundTasks`

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency function with the type `BackgroundTasks`, and then you can use it to schedule the execution of background tasks after the response is sent.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
```

The files and form fields will be uploaded as form data and you will receive the files and form fields.

And you can declare some of the files as `bytes` and some as `UploadFile`.

/// warning

You can use the Select API to query objects with following features:

- Objects must be in CSV, JSON, or Parquet(*) format.
- UTF-8 is the only encoding type the Select API supports.

# Templates { #templates }

You can use any template engine you want with **FastAPI**.

A common choice is Jinja2, the same one used by Flask and other tools.

There are utilities to configure it easily that you can use directly in your **FastAPI** application (provided by Starlette).
