We can do better...

## What makes a dependency

Up to now you have seen dependencies declared as functions.

But that's not the only way to declare dependencies (although it would probably be the more common).

The key factor is that a dependency should be a "callable".

A "**callable**" in Python is anything that Python can "call" like a function.

Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

///

```Python hl_lines="1"
{!> ../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001.py!}
```

////

## Define `File` Parameters

Create file parameters the same way you would for `Body` or `Form`:

//// tab | Python 3.9+

```Python hl_lines="9"
{!> ../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an_py39.py!}
```

////

//// tab | Python 3.8+

```Python hl_lines="8"

### Import `APIRouter`

You import it and create an "instance" the same way you would with the class `FastAPI`:

```Python hl_lines="1  3" title="app/routers/users.py"
{!../../docs_src/bigger_applications/app/routers/users.py!}
```

### *Path operations* with `APIRouter`

And then you use it to declare your *path operations*.

Use it the same way you would use the `FastAPI` class:

title: "\U0001F649"
labels: ''
assignees: ''
