Re-explain

FastAPI provides decorators for all HTTP methods:

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/items")
def get_items():
    return {"method": "GET"}

@app.post("/items")
def create_item():
    return {"method": "POST"}

@app.put("/items/{item_id}")
def update_item(item_id: int):
    return {"method": "PUT", "item_id": item_id}

@app.delete("/items/{item_id}")
def delete_item(item_id: int):
    return {"method": "DELETE", "item_id": item_id}
