### Step 4: define the **path operation function** { #step-4-define-the-path-operation-function }

This is our "**path operation function**":

* **path**: is `/`.
* **operation**: is `get`.
* **function**: is the function below the "decorator" (below `@app.get("/")`).

{* ../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001_py39.py hl[7] *}

This is a Python function.

  /**
   * Returns a cache loader that uses {@code function} to load keys, without supporting either
   * reloading or bulk loading. This allows creating a cache loader using a lambda expression.
   *
   * <p>The returned object is serializable if {@code function} is serializable.
   *
   * @param function the function to be used for loading values; must never return {@code null}

### Dependencies with `yield` and `scope` { #dependencies-with-yield-and-scope }

In version 0.121.0, FastAPI added support for `Depends(scope="function")` for dependencies with `yield`.

Using `Depends(scope="function")`, the exit code after `yield` is executed right after the *path operation function* is finished, before the response is sent back to the client.

1. This is the generator function. It's a "generator function" because it contains `yield` statements inside.
2. By using a `with` block, we make sure that the file-like object is closed after the generator function is done. So, after it finishes sending the response.
