As dependencies will also be called by **FastAPI** (the same as your *path operation functions*), the same rules apply while defining your functions.

You can use `async def` or normal `def`.

And you can declare dependencies with `async def` inside of normal `def` *path operation functions*, or `def` dependencies inside of `async def` *path operation functions*, etc.

It doesn't matter. **FastAPI** will know what to do.

    /**
     * Creates a composite function from a collection of functions.
     *
     * @param functions A collection of functions, each taking a String as input and returning a String.
     * @return A function that applies each function in the collection in order until a non-null result is found.
     *         If all functions return null, the composite function returns null.

If we want to call asynchronous functions in our tests, our test functions have to be asynchronous. AnyIO provides a neat plugin for this, that allows us to specify that some test functions are to be called asynchronously.

Even if your **FastAPI** application uses normal `def` functions instead of `async def`, it is still an `async` application underneath.

Como las dependencias también serán llamadas por **FastAPI** (lo mismo que tus *path operation functions*), las mismas reglas aplican al definir tus funciones.

Puedes usar `async def` o `def` normal.

Y puedes declarar dependencias con `async def` dentro de *path operation functions* normales `def`, o dependencias `def` dentro de *path operation functions* `async def`, etc.

No importa. **FastAPI** sabrá qué hacer.
