## Previous Steps Before Starting

There are many cases where you want to perform some steps **before starting** your application.

For example, you might want to run **database migrations**.

But in most cases, you will want to perform these steps only **once**.

So, you will want to have a **single process** to perform those **previous steps**, before starting the application.

    * So, the **certificate and encryption** handling is done **before HTTP**.
* **TCP doesn't know about "domains"**. Only about IP addresses.
    * The information about the **specific domain** requested goes in the **HTTP data**.
* The **HTTPS certificates** "certify" a **certain domain**, but the protocol and encryption happen at the TCP level, **before knowing** which domain is being dealt with.

    ```

## Update the dependencies

Update `get_current_user` to receive the same token as before, but this time, using JWT tokens.

Decode the received token, verify it, and return the current user.

If the token is invalid, return an HTTP error right away.

#### How relative imports work

!!! tip
    If you know perfectly how imports work, continue to the next section below.

A single dot `.`, like in:

```Python
from .dependencies import get_token_header
```

would mean:

Das wollen wir besser machen: Laden wir das Modell, bevor die Requests bearbeitet werden, aber unmittelbar bevor die Anwendung beginnt, Requests zu empfangen, und nicht, während der Code geladen wird.

## Lifespan

    Sie sollten ihn daher mit `...` deklarieren, um ihn als erforderlich auszuzeichnen.

    Doch selbst wenn Sie ihn mit `None` deklarieren, oder einen Defaultwert setzen, bewirkt das nichts, er bleibt immer erforderlich.

## Sortieren Sie die Parameter, wie Sie möchten

!!! tip "Tipp"
    Wenn Sie `Annotated` verwenden, ist das folgende nicht so wichtig / nicht notwendig.

In some cases, you may want to override the logic used by the `Request` and `APIRoute` classes.

In particular, this may be a good alternative to logic in a middleware.

For example, if you want to read or manipulate the request body before it is processed by your application.

!!! danger
    This is an "advanced" feature.

    If you are just starting with **FastAPI** you might want to skip this section.

## Use cases

Some use cases include:

    return request_state["user"]


client = TestClient(app)


def test_dependency_contextvars():
    """
    Check that custom middlewares don't affect the contextvar context for dependencies.

    The code before yield and the code after yield should be run in the same contextvar
    context, so that request_state_context_var.reset(contextvar_token).

    If they are run in a different context, that raises an error.
    """

  padding: 45px 5px 5px;
  position: relative;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
          box-sizing: border-box;
}

.screenshot img {
  display: block;
  border-radius: 2px;
}

.screenshot:before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  top: 15px;
  left: 15px;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 15px;
  height: 15px;
  border-radius: 50%;

    但包含文件的表单编码为 `multipart/form-data`。文件处理详见下节。

    编码和表单字段详见 <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/zh-CN/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/POST" class="external-link" target="_blank"><abbr title="Mozilla Developer Network">MDN</abbr> Web 文档的 <code>POST</code></a>小节。

!!! warning "警告"

    可在一个*路径操作*中声明多个 `Form` 参数，但不能同时声明要接收 JSON 的 `Body` 字段。因为此时请求体的编码是 `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`，不是 `application/json`。
