This is an "advanced" feature.

If you are just starting with **FastAPI** you might want to skip this section.

## Use cases { #use-cases }

Some use cases include:

* Converting non-JSON request bodies to JSON (e.g. <a href="https://msgpack.org/index.html" class="external-link" target="_blank">`msgpack`</a>).
* Decompressing gzip-compressed request bodies.

Let's say that you want to use a different <abbr title="Content Delivery Network">CDN</abbr>, for example you want to use `https://unpkg.com/`.

This could be useful if for example you live in a country that restricts some URLs.

### Disable the automatic docs { #disable-the-automatic-docs }

The first step is to disable the automatic docs, as by default, those use the default CDN.

In this case, this `__call__` is what **FastAPI** will use to check for additional parameters and sub-dependencies, and this is what will be called to pass a value to the parameter in your *path operation function* later.

## Parameterize the instance { #parameterize-the-instance }

And now, we can use `__init__` to declare the parameters of the instance that we can use to "parameterize" the dependency:

With it, you can use <a href="https://docs.pytest.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">pytest</a> directly with **FastAPI**.

## Using `TestClient` { #using-testclient }

/// info

To use `TestClient`, first install <a href="https://www.python-httpx.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">`httpx`</a>.

- [Use `mc` with MinIO Server](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/reference/minio-mc.html)
- [Use `aws-cli` with MinIO Server](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/integrations/aws-cli-with-minio.html)
- [Use `minio-go` SDK with MinIO Server](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/developers/go/minio-go.html)

In this case, you can override the dependency that calls that provider, and use a custom dependency that returns a mock user, only for your tests.

### Use the `app.dependency_overrides` attribute { #use-the-app-dependency-overrides-attribute }

For these cases, your **FastAPI** application has an attribute `app.dependency_overrides`, it is a simple `dict`.

        that it's for a use case that actually comes up in the real world. We want to hear the
        real-world use case so the community can discuss and debate whether this feature is actually
        the *best* way to address the real use case, or whether or not a different approach might be
        more appropriate.


        It's okay if you can't provide complete context on a use case. We understand if you are not

    val response1Body =
      client.newCall(request).execute().use {
        if (!it.isSuccessful) throw IOException("Unexpected code $it")

        println("Response 1 response:          $it")
        println("Response 1 cache response:    ${it.cacheResponse}")
        println("Response 1 network response:  ${it.networkResponse}")
        return@use it.body.string()
      }

    val response2Body =

But that is still not that useful.

Let's make it give us the current user.

## Create a user model { #create-a-user-model }

First, let's create a Pydantic user model.

The same way we use Pydantic to declare bodies, we can use it anywhere else:

{* ../../docs_src/security/tutorial002_an_py310.py hl[5,12:6] *}

## Create a `get_current_user` dependency { #create-a-get-current-user-dependency }

# Form Models { #form-models }

You can use **Pydantic models** to declare **form fields** in FastAPI.

/// info

To use forms, first install <a href="https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart" class="external-link" target="_blank">`python-multipart`</a>.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and then install it, for example:

```console
$ pip install python-multipart
```
