## Shortcut { #shortcut }

But you see that we are having some code repetition here, writing `CommonQueryParams` twice:

//// tab | Python 3.8+

```Python
commons: Annotated[CommonQueryParams, Depends(CommonQueryParams)]

///

## Shortcut to remember the names { #shortcut-to-remember-the-names }

Let's see the previous example again:

{* ../../docs_src/response_status_code/tutorial001.py hl[6] *}

`201` is the status code for "Created".

You can define the (HTTP) `status_code` to be used in the response of your *path operation*.

You can pass directly the `int` code, like `404`.

But if you don't remember what each number code is for, you can use the shortcut constants in `status`:

{* ../../docs_src/path_operation_configuration/tutorial001_py310.py hl[1,15] *}

That status code will be used in the response and will be added to the OpenAPI schema.

    Collections.addAll(list, elements);
    return list;
  }

  /**
   * Creates a <i>mutable</i> {@code ArrayList} instance containing the given elements; a very thin
   * shortcut for creating an empty list then calling {@link Iterables#addAll}.
   *
   * <p><b>Note:</b> if mutability is not required and the elements are non-null, use {@link

They take a `set` of `str` with the name of the attributes to include (omitting the rest) or to exclude (including the rest).

This can be used as a quick shortcut if you have only one Pydantic model and want to remove some data from the output.

/// tip

But it is still recommended to use the ideas above, using multiple classes, instead of these parameters.

```

Using `Optional[str]` instead of just `str` will let the editor help you detect errors where you could be assuming that a value is always a `str`, when it could actually be `None` too.

`Optional[Something]` is actually a shortcut for `Union[Something, None]`, they are equivalent.

This also means that in Python 3.10, you can use `Something | None`:

```Python hl_lines="1"

	for {
		// Step 1 create slice with all top versions.
		tops = tops[:0]
		var topSig xlMetaV2VersionHeader
		consistent := true // Are all signatures consistent (shortcut)
		for _, vers := range versions {
			if len(vers) == 0 {
				consistent = false
				continue
			}
			ver := vers[0]
			if len(tops) == 0 {
				consistent = true
				topSig = ver.header

- Kubectl: `-o` can now be used as a shortcut for `--output` in `kubectl explain <resource> --output plaintext-openapiv2` ([#127869](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127869), [@ak20102763](https://github.com/ak20102763)) [SIG CLI]
