# Dependencies { #dependencies }

**FastAPI** has a very powerful but intuitive **<abbr title="also known as components, resources, providers, services, injectables">Dependency Injection</abbr>** system.

It is designed to be very simple to use, and to make it very easy for any developer to integrate other components with **FastAPI**.

## What is "Dependency Injection" { #what-is-dependency-injection }

            "name": "Foo",
            "description": "A very nice Item",
            "price": 35.4,
            "tax": 3.2,
            "tags": ["foo", "bar", "foo"],
        },
    )
    assert response.status_code == 200, response.text
    assert response.json() == {
        "item_id": 123,
        "item": {
            "name": "Foo",
            "description": "A very nice Item",
            "price": 35.4,

    response = client.put(
        "/items/5",
        json={"description": "A very nice Item"},
    )
    assert response.status_code == 422, response.text
    assert response.json() == {
        "detail": [
            {
                "loc": ["body", "name"],
                "input": {"description": "A very nice Item"},
                "msg": "Field required",
                "type": "missing",

  So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could,
for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether
the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble
of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White
Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

  There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice
think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to

That should make more sense now. ✨

All that is what powers FastAPI (through Starlette) and what makes it have such an impressive performance.

## Very Technical Details { #very-technical-details }

/// warning

You can probably skip this.

These are very technical details of how **FastAPI** works underneath.

They are, more or less, at opposite ends, complementing each other.

Requests has a very simple and intuitive design, it's very easy to use, with sensible defaults. But at the same time, it's very powerful and customizable.

That's why, as said in the official website:

> Requests is one of the most downloaded Python packages of all time

The way you use it is very simple. For example, to do a `GET` request, you would write:

```Python

    response = client.put(
        "/items/5",
        json={"description": "A very nice Item"},
    )
    assert response.status_code == 422, response.text
    assert response.json() == {
        "detail": [
            {
                "loc": ["body", "name"],
                "input": {"description": "A very nice Item"},
                "msg": "Field required",
                "type": "missing",

    c = TestClient(mod.app)
    return c


def test_foo_needy_very(client: TestClient):
    response = client.get("/items/foo?needy=very")
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json() == {
        "item_id": "foo",
        "needy": "very",
        "skip": 0,
        "limit": None,
    }


def test_foo_no_needy(client: TestClient):
    response = client.get("/items/foo?skip=a&limit=b")

    return client


def test_post_body_example(client: TestClient):
    response = client.put(
        "/items/5",
        json={
            "name": "Foo",
            "description": "A very nice Item",
            "price": 35.4,
            "tax": 3.2,
        },
    )
    assert response.status_code == 200
