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.

# Request Parameters

Here's the reference information for the request parameters.

These are the special functions that you can put in *path operation function* parameters or dependency functions with `Annotated` to get data from the request.

It includes:

* `Query()`
* `Path()`
* `Body()`
* `Cookie()`
* `Header()`
* `Form()`
* `File()`

You can import them all directly from `fastapi`:

```python

            ArrayListMultimap.<String, Integer>create(), Functions.<Integer>identity())
        .asMap();
  }

  @Override
  protected Map<String, Collection<Integer>> makePopulatedMap() {
    ListMultimap<String, Integer> delegate = ArrayListMultimap.create();
    populate(delegate);
    return Multimaps.transformValues(delegate, Functions.<Integer>identity()).asMap();
  }
