# Classes as Dependencies { #classes-as-dependencies }

Before diving deeper into the **Dependency Injection** system, let's upgrade the previous example.

## A `dict` from the previous example { #a-dict-from-the-previous-example }

In the previous example, we were returning a `dict` from our dependency ("dependable"):

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[9] *}

**FastAPI** will keep the additional information from `responses`, and combine it with the JSON Schema from your model.

For example, you can declare a response with a status code `404` that uses a Pydantic model and has a custom `description`.

And a response with a status code `200` that uses your `response_model`, but includes a custom `example`:

{* ../../docs_src/additional_responses/tutorial003_py39.py hl[20:31] *}

Puedes añadir código que se ejecute con la `request`, antes de que cualquier *path operation* la reciba.

Y también después de que se genere la `response`, antes de devolverla.

Por ejemplo, podrías añadir un custom header `X-Process-Time` que contenga el tiempo en segundos que tomó procesar la request y generar una response:

{* ../../docs_src/middleware/tutorial001_py39.py hl[10,12:13] *}

* PostgreSQL
* MySQL
* SQLite
* Oracle
* Microsoft SQL Server, etc.

En este ejemplo, usaremos **SQLite**, porque utiliza un solo archivo y Python tiene soporte integrado. Así que puedes copiar este ejemplo y ejecutarlo tal cual.

Más adelante, para tu aplicación en producción, es posible que desees usar un servidor de base de datos como **PostgreSQL**.

    `HTTPDigest` in a dependency.

    The HTTP authorization header value is split by the first space.

    The first part is the `scheme`, the second part is the `credentials`.

    For example, in an HTTP Bearer token scheme, the client will send a header
    like:

    ```
    Authorization: Bearer deadbeef12346
    ```

    In this case:

    * `scheme` will have the value `"Bearer"`

For example, an 16-server distributed setup with 200 drives per node would continue serving files, up to 4 servers can be offline in default configuration i.e around 800 drives down MinIO would continue to read and write objects.
