# Dependencies

**FastAPI** has a very powerful but intuitive **<abbr title="also known as components, resources, providers, services, injectables">Dependency Injection</abbr>** system.

It is designed to be very simple to use, and to make it very easy for any developer to integrate other components with **FastAPI**.

## What is "Dependency Injection"

    from docs_src.query_params.tutorial006 import app

    c = TestClient(app)
    return c


def test_foo_needy_very(client: TestClient):
    response = client.get("/items/foo?needy=very")
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json() == {
        "item_id": "foo",
        "needy": "very",
        "skip": 0,
        "limit": None,
    }


def test_foo_no_needy(client: TestClient):

{!../../../docs_src/openapi_callbacks/tutorial001.py!}
```

There are 2 main differences from a normal *path operation*:

* It doesn't need to have any actual code, because your app will never call this code. It's only used to document the *external API*. So, the function could just have `pass`.

* The **input model** needs to be able to have a password.
* The **output model** should not have a password.
* The **database model** would probably need to have a hashed password.

!!! danger
    Never store user's plaintext passwords. Always store a "secure hash" that you can then verify.

Or you might have any other way to communicate with the WebSocket endpoint.

---

But for this example, we'll use a very simple HTML document with some JavaScript, all inside a long string.

This, of course, is not optimal and you wouldn't use it for production.

In production you would have one of the options above.

    return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}


@app.put("/items/{item_id}")
def update_item(item_id: int, item: Item):
    return {"item_name": item.name, "item_id": item_id}
```

O servidor deverá recarregar automaticamente (porquê você adicionou `--reload` ao comando `uvicorn` acima).

# Help FastAPI - Get Help

Do you like **FastAPI**?

Would you like to help FastAPI, other users, and the author?

Or would you like to get help with **FastAPI**?

There are very simple ways to help (several involve just one or two clicks).

And there are several ways to get help too.

```console
// Verwenden Sie das Kommando „serve“ nachdem Sie „build-all“ ausgeführt haben.
$ python ./scripts/docs.py serve

Warning: this is a very simple server. For development, use mkdocs serve instead.
This is here only to preview a site with translations already built.
Make sure you run the build-all command first.

## `async` and `await`

For large responses, returning a `Response` directly is much faster than returning a dictionary.
