# Body - Updates { #body-updates }

## Update replacing with `PUT` { #update-replacing-with-put }

To update an item you can use the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/PUT" class="external-link" target="_blank">HTTP `PUT`</a> operation.

You can use the `jsonable_encoder` to convert the input data to data that can be stored as JSON (e.g. with a NoSQL database). For example, converting `datetime` to `str`.

* Many PRs don't have tests, you can **remind** them to add tests, or you can even **suggest** some tests yourself. That's one of the things that consume most time and you can help a lot with that.

* Then also comment what you tried, that way I'll know that you checked it. 🤓

## Create a Pull Request { #create-a-pull-request }

`@lru_cache` is part of `functools` which is part of Python's standard library, you can read more about it in the <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.lru_cache" class="external-link" target="_blank">Python docs for `@lru_cache`</a>.

## Recap { #recap }

Each section gradually builds on the previous ones, but it's structured to separate topics, so that you can go directly to any specific one to solve your specific API needs.

It is also built to work as a future reference so you can come back and see exactly what you need.

## Run the code { #run-the-code }

All the code blocks can be copied and used directly (they are actually tested Python files).

# Configure Swagger UI { #configure-swagger-ui }

You can configure some extra <a href="https://swagger.io/docs/open-source-tools/swagger-ui/usage/configuration/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Swagger UI parameters</a>.

To configure them, pass the `swagger_ui_parameters` argument when creating the `FastAPI()` app object or to the `get_swagger_ui_html()` function.

`swagger_ui_parameters` receives a dictionary with the configurations passed to Swagger UI directly.

You can use the same dependency *functions* you use normally.

### Dependency requirements { #dependency-requirements }

They can declare request requirements (like headers) or other sub-dependencies:

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial006_an_py39.py hl[8,13] *}

### Raise exceptions { #raise-exceptions }

These dependencies can `raise` exceptions, the same as normal dependencies:

# `Response` class

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency to be of type `Response` and then you can set data for the response like headers or cookies.

You can also use it directly to create an instance of it and return it from your *path operations*.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import Response
```

# Background Tasks - `BackgroundTasks`

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency function with the type `BackgroundTasks`, and then you can use it to schedule the execution of background tasks after the response is sent.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
```
