Is there a way to add field description to FastAPI swagger schema if I use dependency system?

I see no place to add descriptions in simple example from FastAPI docs

async def common_parameters(q: str = None, skip: int = 0, limit: int = 100):
    return {"q": q, "skip": skip, "limit": limit}

You can also use this

@app.get("/dummy")
async def dummy(q: Optional[str] = Query(None, )):
    """
     This is my description of the API endpoint
    """
    pass

You can add description using Query or Body depends on your use case.

from typing import Optional

from fastapi import FastAPI, Query

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/dummy")
async def dummy(q: Optional[str] = Query(None, description="My description")):
    ...

You can add even more metadata, see the documentation.
