**FastAPI** uses them internally to achieve this.

## Dependencies with `yield` and `HTTPException`

You saw that you can use dependencies with `yield` and have `try` blocks that catch exceptions.

The same way, you could raise an `HTTPException` or similar in the exit code, after the `yield`.

!!! tip

It is also built to work as a future reference.

So you can come back and see exactly what you need.

## Run the code

All the code blocks can be copied and used directly (they are actually tested Python files).

To run any of the examples, copy the code to a file `main.py`, and start `uvicorn` with:

<div class="termy">

```console

```Python
async with lifespan(app):
    await do_stuff()
```

When you create a context manager or an async context manager like above, what it does is that, before entering the `with` block, it will execute the code before the `yield`, and after exiting the `with` block, it will execute the code after the `yield`.

In our code example above, we don't use it directly, but we pass it to FastAPI for it to use it.

    ```

!!! info
    We put the creation of the `SessionLocal()` and handling of the requests in a `try` block.

    And then we close it in the `finally` block.

    This way we make sure the database session is always closed after the request. Even if there was an exception while processing the request.

        <span class="sponsor-badge">sponsor</span>

      </a>
    </div>
    <div class="item">

    Sie können `async`hrone oder reguläre Funktionen verwenden.

    **FastAPI** wird bei jeder das Richtige tun, so wie auch bei normalen Abhängigkeiten.

## Eine Abhängigkeit mit `yield` und `try`.

Wenn Sie einen `try`-Block in einer Abhängigkeit mit `yield` verwenden, empfangen Sie alle Exceptions, die bei Verwendung der Abhängigkeit geworfen wurden.

{!../../../docs_src/custom_response/tutorial008.py!}
```

1. This is the generator function. It's a "generator function" because it contains `yield` statements inside.
2. By using a `with` block, we make sure that the file-like object is closed after the generator function is done. So, after it finishes sending the response.

### Path operation functions

When you declare a *path operation function* with normal `def` instead of `async def`, it is run in an external threadpool that is then awaited, instead of being called directly (as it would block the server).
