In some cases you don't really need the return value of a dependency inside your *path operation function*.

Or the dependency doesn't return a value.

But you still need it to be executed/solved.

For those cases, instead of declaring a *path operation function* parameter with `Depends`, you can add a `list` of `dependencies` to the *path operation decorator*.

# Global Dependencies { #global-dependencies }

For some types of applications you might want to add dependencies to the whole application.

Similar to the way you can [add `dependencies` to the *path operation decorators*](dependencies-in-path-operation-decorators.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, you can add them to the `FastAPI` application.

In that case, they will be applied to all the *path operations* in the application:

# Path Operation Configuration { #path-operation-configuration }

There are several parameters that you can pass to your *path operation decorator* to configure it.

/// warning

Notice that these parameters are passed directly to the *path operation decorator*, not to your *path operation function*.

///

## Response Status Code { #response-status-code }

You can define the (HTTP) `status_code` to be used in the response of your *path operation*.

/// tip

Note that, much like [dependencies in *path operation decorators*](dependencies/dependencies-in-path-operation-decorators.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, no value will be passed to your *path operation function*.

///

The end result is that the item paths are now:

* `/items/`
* `/items/{item_id}`

would be valid to use as a **FastAPI** dependency.

In fact, FastAPI uses those two decorators internally.

## A database dependency with `yield` { #a-database-dependency-with-yield }

For example, you could use this to create a database session and close it after finishing.

## Additional Response with `model` { #additional-response-with-model }

You can pass to your *path operation decorators* a parameter `responses`.

It receives a `dict`: the keys are status codes for each response (like `200`), and the values are other `dict`s with the information for each of them.
