**FastAPI** will use that *temporal* response to extract the cookies (also headers and status code), and will put them in the final response that contains the value you returned, filtered by any `response_model`.

You can also declare the `Response` parameter in dependencies, and set cookies (and headers) in them.

## Return a `Response` directly { #return-a-response-directly }

You can also create cookies when returning a `Response` directly in your code.

Their sponsorship also demonstrates a strong commitment to the FastAPI **community** (you), showing that they care not only about offering a **great service** but also about supporting a **robust and thriving framework**, FastAPI. 🙇

For example, you might want to try:

* Give you the received data in the parameter `item`.
    * As you declared it in the function to be of type `Item`, you will also have all the editor support (completion, etc) for all of the attributes and their types.
* Generate [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org) definitions for your model, you can also use them anywhere else you like if it makes sense for your project.

And tools will also be happy because both `RedirectResponse` and `JSONResponse` are subclasses of `Response`, so the type annotation is correct.

### Annotate a Response Subclass { #annotate-a-response-subclass }

You can also use a subclass of `Response` in the type annotation:

{* ../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial003_03_py310.py hl[8:9] *}

    * If you also declare dependencies in a specific *path operation*, **they will be executed too**.
    * The router dependencies are executed first, then the [`dependencies` in the decorator](dependencies/dependencies-in-path-operation-decorators.md), and then the normal parameter dependencies.
    * You can also add [`Security` dependencies with `scopes`](../advanced/security/oauth2-scopes.md).

## Mix `Path`, `Query` and body parameters { #mix-path-query-and-body-parameters }

First, of course, you can mix `Path`, `Query` and request body parameter declarations freely and **FastAPI** will know what to do.

And you can also declare body parameters as optional, by setting the default to `None`:

{* ../../docs_src/body_multiple_params/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[18:20] *}

/// note

Also, before that, in previous versions, the `request` object was passed as part of the key-value pairs in the context for Jinja2.

///

/// tip

By declaring `response_class=HTMLResponse` the docs UI will be able to know that the response will be HTML.

///

/// note | Technical Details

You could also use `from starlette.templating import Jinja2Templates`.

# GraphQL { #graphql }

As **FastAPI** is based on the **ASGI** standard, it's very easy to integrate any **GraphQL** library also compatible with ASGI.

You can combine normal FastAPI *path operations* with GraphQL on the same application.

/// tip

**GraphQL** solves some very specific use cases.

It has **advantages** and **disadvantages** when compared to common **web APIs**.

Follow your cloud provider's guides to deploy FastAPI apps with them. 🤓

## Deploy your own server { #deploy-your-own-server }

/// info

The parameter `response_class` will also be used to define the "media type" of the response.

In this case, the HTTP header `Content-Type` will be set to `text/html`.

And it will be documented as such in OpenAPI.

///

### Return a `Response` { #return-a-response }

As seen in [Return a Response directly](response-directly.md), you can also override the response directly in your *path operation*, by returning it.
