## Add `dependencies` to the *path operation decorator* { #add-dependencies-to-the-path-operation-decorator }

The *path operation decorator* receives an optional argument `dependencies`.

It should be a `list` of `Depends()`:

If you want to use the latest features of Python, you will need to make sure you use Pydantic v2.

///

If you have an old FastAPI app with Pydantic v1, here I'll show you how to migrate it to Pydantic v2, and the **features in FastAPI 0.119.0** to help you with a gradual migration.

## Official Guide { #official-guide }

Pydantic has an official [Migration Guide](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/migration/) from v1 to v2.
