# 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:

=== "Python 3.9+"

    ```Python hl_lines="16"

# Globale Abhängigkeiten

Bei einigen Anwendungstypen möchten Sie möglicherweise Abhängigkeiten zur gesamten Anwendung hinzufügen.

Ähnlich wie Sie [`dependencies` zu den *Pfadoperation-Dekoratoren* hinzufügen](dependencies-in-path-operation-decorators.md){.internal-link target=_blank} können, können Sie sie auch zur `FastAPI`-Anwendung hinzufügen.

In diesem Fall werden sie auf alle *Pfadoperationen* in der Anwendung angewendet:

=== "Python 3.9+"

### Import `FastAPI`

You import and create a `FastAPI` class as normally.

And we can even declare [global dependencies](dependencies/global-dependencies.md){.internal-link target=_blank} that will be combined with the dependencies for each `APIRouter`:

```Python hl_lines="1  3  7" title="app/main.py"

## Settings in a dependency

In some occasions it might be useful to provide the settings from a dependency, instead of having a global object with `settings` that is used everywhere.

This could be especially useful during testing, as it's very easy to override a dependency with your own custom settings.

### The config file

            * A key `schema`, that has as the value the JSON Schema from the model, here's the correct place.
                * **FastAPI** adds a reference here to the global JSON Schemas in another place in your OpenAPI instead of including it directly. This way, other applications and clients can use those JSON Schemas directly, provide better code generation tools, etc.

Doing that in separated functions that don't share logic or variables together is more difficult as you would need to store values in global variables or similar tricks.

Because of that, it's now recommended to instead use the `lifespan` as explained above.
