# Dependencies in path operation decorators { #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*.

# Form Data { #form-data }

When you need to receive form fields instead of JSON, you can use `Form`.

/// info

To use forms, first install <a href="https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart" class="external-link" target="_blank">`python-multipart`</a>.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and then install it, for example:

```console
$ pip install python-multipart
```

You actually don't have users that log in to your application but robots, bots, or other systems, that have just an access token? Again, it all works the same.

Just use any kind of model, any kind of class, any kind of database that you need for your application. **FastAPI** has you covered with the dependency injection system.

## Code size { #code-size }

/// note

This is supported since FastAPI version `0.115.0`. 🤓

## Header Parameters with a Pydantic Model { #header-parameters-with-a-pydantic-model }

Declare the **header parameters** that you need in a **Pydantic model**, and then declare the parameter as `Header`:

{* ../../docs_src/header_param_models/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[9:14,18] *}

need it so that empty directory does not get deleted...

```

These are **JavaScript** objects, not strings, so you can't pass them from Python code directly.
