# Path Operation Configuration

There are several parameters that you can pass to your *path operation decorator* to configure it.

!!! warning
    Notice that these parameters are passed directly to the *path operation decorator*, not to your *path operation function*.

## Response Status Code

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`.

    {!> ../../../docs_src/query_params/tutorial002.py!}
    ```

In this case, the function parameter `q` will be optional, and will be `None` by default.

!!! check
    Also notice that **FastAPI** is smart enough to notice that the path parameter `item_id` is a path parameter and `q` is not, so, it's a query parameter.

## Query parameter type conversion

You can also declare `bool` types, and they will be converted:

!!! info
    The `app.webhooks` object is actually just an `APIRouter`, the same type you would use when structuring your app with multiple files.

    "paid": true
}
```

and it would expect a response from that *external API* with a JSON body like:

```JSON
{
    "ok": true
}
```

!!! tip
    Notice how the callback URL used contains the URL received as a query parameter in `callback_url` (`https://www.external.org/events`) and also the invoice `id` from inside of the JSON body (`2expen51ve`).

### Add the callback router

We want to get the `current_user` *only* if this user is active.

So, we create an additional dependency `get_current_active_user` that in turn uses `get_current_user` as a dependency.

Both of these dependencies will just return an HTTP error if the user doesn't exist, or if is inactive.

So, in our endpoint, we will only get a user if the user exists, was correctly authenticated, and is active:

**FastAPI** não existiria se não pelo trabalho anterior de outros.

Há muitas ferramentas criadas antes que ajudaram a inspirar sua criação.

Eu estive evitando a criação de um novo _framework_ por vários anos. Primeiro tentei resolver todas as funcionalidades cobertas por **FastAPI** usando muitos _frameworks_, _plug-ins_ e ferramentas diferentes.

            "name": "The Foo live"
        },
        {
            "url": "http://example.com/dave.jpg",
            "name": "The Baz"
        }
    ]
}
```

!!! info
    Notice how the `images` key now has a list of image objects.

## Deeply nested models

You can define arbitrarily deeply nested models:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="7  12  18  21  25"

* `@app.get()`
* `@app.post()`
* `@app.put()`
* `@app.delete()`
* etc.

```Python hl_lines="6"
{!../../../docs_src/response_status_code/tutorial001.py!}
```

!!! note
    Notice that `status_code` is a parameter of the "decorator" method (`get`, `post`, etc). Not of your *path operation function*, like all the parameters and body.

The `status_code` parameter receives a number with the HTTP status code.

    !!! tip
        Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

    ```Python hl_lines="22"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial005.py!}
    ```

!!! info
    Notice that we are only declaring one dependency in the *path operation function*, the `query_or_cookie_extractor`.

    ```

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="10"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/query_params_str_validations/tutorial002_an.py!}
    ```

Notice that the default value is still `None`, so the parameter is still optional.
