# Request Parameters

Here's the reference information for the request parameters.

These are the special functions that you can put in *path operation function* parameters or dependency functions with `Annotated` to get data from the request.

It includes:

* `Query()`
* `Path()`
* `Body()`
* `Cookie()`
* `Header()`
* `Form()`
* `File()`

You can import them all directly from `fastapi`:

```python

Lkotlin/jvm/functions/Function1;
Lkotlin/jvm/functions/Function20;
Lkotlin/jvm/functions/Function21;
Lkotlin/jvm/functions/Function22;
Lkotlin/jvm/functions/Function2;

Lkotlin/jvm/internal/ArrayIterator;

//          automatic skipping of dummy input operations is performed.
//  ninputs - number of elements in `inputs` array
//  inputs - array of TF_Outputs that specify the inputs to the function.
//           If `ninputs` is zero (the function takes no inputs), `inputs`
//           can be null. The names used for function inputs are normalized

  // it in this context.
  virtual AbstractOperation* CreateOperation() = 0;

  // Registers a function with this context, after this the function is
  // available to be called/referenced by its name in this context.
  virtual absl::Status RegisterFunction(AbstractFunction*) = 0;
  // Remove a function. 'func' argument is the name of a previously added
  // FunctionDef. The name is in fdef.signature.name.

    return {"fresh_value": fresh_value}

## Recap

Apart from all the fancy words used here, the **Dependency Injection** system is quite simple.

Just functions that look the same as the *path operation functions*.

But still, it is very powerful, and allows you to declare arbitrarily deeply nested dependency "graphs" (trees).

/// tip

All this might not seem as useful with these simple examples.

// aggregation.
//
// Aggregation functions - An expression that involves aggregation of
// rows in some manner. Requires all input rows to be processed,
// before a result is returned.
//
// Row function - An expression that depends on a value in the
// row. They have an output for each input row.
//
// Some types of a queries are not valid. For example, an aggregation

# Dependencies in path operation decorators

In some cases you don't really need the return value of a dependency inside your *path operation function*.

Or the dependency doesn't return a value.

But you still need it to be executed/solved.

For those cases, instead of declaring a *path operation function* parameter with `Depends`, you can add a `list` of `dependencies` to the *path operation decorator*.

/// note | "Technical Details"

When you import `Query`, `Path` and others from `fastapi`, they are actually functions.

That when called, return instances of classes of the same name.

So, you import `Query`, which is a function. And when you call it, it returns an instance of a class also named `Query`.

These functions are there (instead of just using the classes directly) so that your editor doesn't mark errors about their types.

The key factor is that a dependency should be a "callable".

A "**callable**" in Python is anything that Python can "call" like a function.

So, if you have an object `something` (that might _not_ be a function) and you can "call" it (execute it) like:

```Python
something()
```

or

```Python
something(some_argument, some_keyword_argument="foo")
```

then it is a "callable".
