Although you use `Depends` in the parameters of your function the same way you use `Body`, `Query`, etc, `Depends` works a bit differently.

You only give `Depends` a single parameter.

This parameter must be something like a function.

You **don't call it** directly (don't add the parenthesis at the end), you just pass it as a parameter to `Depends()`.

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial002.py!}
```

In this case, `item_id` is declared to be an `int`.

/// check

This will give you editor support inside of your function, with error checks, completion, etc.
