# 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
```

    end
    operation ->> client: Return response to client
    Note over client,operation: Response is already sent, can't change it anymore
    opt Tasks
        operation -->> tasks: Send background tasks
    end
    opt Raise other exception
        tasks -->> dep: Raise other exception
    end
    Note over dep: After yield
    opt Handle other exception

* Hỗ trợ **WebSocket**.
* In-process background tasks.
* Startup and shutdown events.
* Client cho kiểm thử xây dựng trên HTTPX.
* **CORS**, GZip, Static Files, Streaming responses.
* Hỗ trợ **Session and Cookie**.
* 100% test coverage.
* 100% type annotated codebase.

class BackgroundTasks(StarletteBackgroundTasks):
    """
    A collection of background tasks that will be called after a response has been
    sent to the client.

    Read more about it in the
    [FastAPI docs for Background Tasks](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/background-tasks/).

    ## Example

    ```python
    from fastapi import BackgroundTasks, FastAPI

    app = FastAPI()

    end
    operation ->> client: Return response to client
    Note over client,operation: Response is already sent, can't change it anymore
    opt Tasks
        operation -->> tasks: Send background tasks
    end
    opt Raise other exception
        tasks -->> dep: Raise other exception
    end
    Note over dep: After yield
    opt Handle other exception

It is very simple and intuitive. It's designed to be easily extensible, and have modular components.

It has:

* Seriously impressive performance.
* WebSocket support.
* In-process background tasks.
* Startup and shutdown events.
* Test client built on HTTPX.
* CORS, GZip, Static Files, Streaming responses.
* Session and Cookie support.
* 100% test coverage.
* 100% type annotated codebase.
