* It then takes the **response** generated by the application (by some *path operation*).
* It can do something to that **response** or run any needed code.
* Then it returns the **response**.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    If you have dependencies with `yield`, the exit code will run *after* the middleware.

    And Pydantic's `Field` returns an instance of `FieldInfo` as well.

    `Body` also returns objects of a subclass of `FieldInfo` directly. And there are others you will see later that are subclasses of the `Body` class.

    Remember that when you import `Query`, `Path`, and others from `fastapi`, those are actually functions that return special classes.

!!! tip

!!! check
    The way this dependency system is designed allows us to have different dependencies (different "dependables") that all return a `User` model.

    We are not restricted to having only one dependency that can return that type of data.

## Other models

Next, we create a custom subclass of `fastapi.routing.APIRoute` that will make use of the `GzipRequest`.

This time, it will overwrite the method `APIRoute.get_route_handler()`.

This method returns a function. And that function is what will receive a request and return a response.

Here we use it to create a `GzipRequest` from the original request.

```Python hl_lines="18-26"
{!../../../docs_src/custom_request_and_route/tutorial001.py!}
```

                return await app(scope, receive, send)  # pragma: no cover

            async def call_next():
                return await app(scope, receive, send)

            websocket = WebSocket(scope, receive=receive, send=send)
            return await middleware_func(websocket, call_next)

        return wrapped_app

    return middleware_constructor

### About `{**note.dict(), "id": last_record_id}`

`note` is a Pydantic `Note` object.

`note.dict()` returns a `dict` with its data, something like:

```Python
{
    "text": "Some note",
    "completed": False,
}
```

but it doesn't have the `id` field.

It doesn't return a large `str` containing the data in JSON format (as a string). It returns a Python standard data structure (e.g. a `dict`) with values and sub-values that are all compatible with JSON.

!!! note

@user_router.get("/")
def get_users():
    return [{"user_id": "u1"}, {"user_id": "u2"}]


@user_router.get("/{user_id}")
def get_user(user_id: str):
    return {"user_id": user_id}


@item_router.get("/")
def get_items(user_id: Optional[str] = None):
    if user_id is None:
        return [{"item_id": "i1", "user_id": "u1"}, {"item_id": "i2", "user_id": "u2"}]
    else:
        return [{"item_id": "i2", "user_id": user_id}]

    The first one to _not_ be a `DefaultPlaceholder` will be returned.

    Otherwise, the first item (a `DefaultPlaceholder`) will be returned.
    """
    items = (first_item,) + extra_items
    for item in items:
        if not isinstance(item, DefaultPlaceholder):
            return item

* It will **limit and filter** the output data to what is defined in the return type.
    * This is particularly important for **security**, we'll see more of that below.

## `response_model` Parameter

There are some cases where you need or want to return some data that is not exactly what the type declares.
