Let's say you have a custom exception `UnicornException` that you (or a library you use) might `raise`.

And you want to handle this exception globally with FastAPI.

You could add a custom exception handler with `@app.exception_handler()`:

```Python hl_lines="5-7  13-18  24"
{!../../../docs_src/handling_errors/tutorial003.py!}
```

## Use a `Response` parameter

You can declare a parameter of type `Response` in your *path operation function*.

And then you can set cookies in that *temporal* response object.

```Python hl_lines="1  8-9"
{!../../../docs_src/response_cookies/tutorial002.py!}
```

And then you can return any object you need, as you normally would (a `dict`, a database model, etc).

And you don't need to declare anything else for that parameter, so you don't really need to use `Query`.

But you still need to use `Path` for the `item_id` path parameter. And you don't want to use `Annotated` for some reason.

Python will complain if you put a value with a "default" before a value that doesn't have a "default".

But you can re-order them, and have the value without a default (the query parameter `q`) first.

## 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

!!! warning
    This is a rather advanced topic.

    If you are starting with **FastAPI**, you might not need this.

You can declare additional responses, with additional status codes, media types, descriptions, etc.

Those additional responses will be included in the OpenAPI schema, so they will also appear in the API docs.

## Use Case

Let's start with an example **use case** and then see how to solve it with this.

Let's imagine that you have some **machine learning models** that you want to use to handle requests. 🤖

Next it will convert and validate the data. So, when you use that `settings` object, you will have data of the types you declared (e.g. `items_per_user` will be an `int`).

### Use the `settings`

Then you can use the new `settings` object in your application:

```Python hl_lines="18-20"
{!../../../docs_src/settings/tutorial001.py!}
```

### Run the server

This is in contrast to the **development** stages, where you are constantly changing the code, breaking it and fixing it, stopping and restarting the development server, etc.

## Deployment Strategies

There are several ways to do it depending on your specific use case and the tools that you use.

# Templates

You can use any template engine you want with **FastAPI**.

A common choice is Jinja2, the same one used by Flask and other tools.

There are utilities to configure it easily that you can use directly in your **FastAPI** application (provided by Starlette).

## Install dependencies

Install `jinja2`:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install jinja2

---> 100%
```

</div>

```

These are **JavaScript** objects, not strings, so you can't pass them from Python code directly.
