Nevertheless, although we are not using the default integrated functionality, we are still using a Pydantic model to manually generate the JSON Schema for the data that we want to receive in YAML.

Then we use the request directly, and extract the body as `bytes`. This means that FastAPI won't even try to parse the request payload as JSON.

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

The `lifespan` parameter of the `FastAPI` app takes an **async context manager**, so we can pass our new `lifespan` async context manager to it.

```Python hl_lines="22"
{!../../../docs_src/events/tutorial003.py!}
```

To handle that, we first convert the `username` and `password` to `bytes` encoding them with UTF-8.

Then we can use `secrets.compare_digest()` to ensure that `credentials.username` is `"stanleyjobson"`, and that `credentials.password` is `"swordfish"`.

=== "Python 3.9+"

app = FastAPI()


class InternalError(Exception):
    pass


def get_username():
    try:
        yield "Rick"
    except InternalError:
        print("Oops, we didn't raise again, Britney 😱")


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def get_item(item_id: str, username: str = Depends(get_username)):
    if item_id == "portal-gun":
        raise InternalError(

    So, it is a generator function that transfers the "generating" work to something else internally.

    By doing it this way, we can put it in a `with` block, and that way, ensure that it is closed after finishing.

!!! tip
    Notice that here as we are using standard `open()` that doesn't support `async` and `await`, we declare the path operation with normal `def`.

### `FileResponse`

Asynchronously streams a file as the response.

    ```Python hl_lines="11"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

But then we get a `dict` in the parameter `commons` of the *path operation function*.

And we know that editors can't provide a lot of support (like completion) for `dict`s, because they can't know their keys and value types.

We can do better...

## What makes a dependency

Up to now you have seen dependencies declared as functions.

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="8  10"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/query_params/tutorial004.py!}
    ```

## Required query parameters

When you declare a default value for non-path parameters (for now, we have only seen query parameters), then it is not required.

If you don't want to add a specific value but just make it optional, set the default as `None`.

app = FastAPI()


class InternalError(Exception):
    pass


def get_username():
    try:
        yield "Rick"
    except InternalError:
        print("Oops, we didn't raise again, Britney 😱")


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def get_item(item_id: str, username: Annotated[str, Depends(get_username)]):
    if item_id == "portal-gun":
        raise InternalError(

Then, near the end of the `Dockerfile`, we copy all the code. As this is what **changes most frequently**, we put it near the end, because almost always, anything after this step will not be able to use the cache.

```Dockerfile
COPY ./app /code/app
```
