op list(
  @query({
    name: "id",
    format: "multi",
  })
  ids: string[],
): void;

@route

Defines the relative route URI for the target operation

The first argument should be a URI fragment that may contain one or more path parameter fields. If the namespace or interface that contains the operation is also marked with a @route decorator, it will be used as a prefix to the route URI of the operation.

@route can only be applied to operations, namespaces, and interfaces.

@TypeSpec.Http.route(path: valueof string, options?: (anonymous model))

Target

union Namespace | Interface | Operation

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
path	valueof scalar string	Relative route path. Cannot include query parameters.
options	model (anonymous model)	Set of parameters used to configure the route. Supports {shared: true} which indicates that the route may be shared by several operations.

Examples

@route("/widgets")
op getWidget(@path id: string): Widget;

@server

Specify the endpoint for this service.

@TypeSpec.Http.server(url: valueof string, description: valueof string, parameters?: Record<unknown>)

Target

Namespace

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
url	valueof scalar string	Server endpoint
description	valueof scalar string	Description of the endpoint
parameters	model Record<unknown>	Optional set of parameters used to interpolate the url.

Examples

@service
@server("https://example.com", "Single server endpoint")
namespace PetStore;

parameterized

@server("https://{region}.foo.com", "Regional endpoint", {
@doc("Region name")
region?: string = "westus",
})

@sharedRoute

@sharedRoute marks the operation as sharing a route path with other operations.

When an operation is marked with @sharedRoute, it enables other operations to share the same route path as long as those operations are also marked with @sharedRoute.

@sharedRoute can only be applied directly to operations.

@sharedRoute
@route("/widgets")
op getWidget(@path id: string): Widget;

@TypeSpec.Http.sharedRoute

Target

Operation

Parameters

None

@statusCode

Specify the status code for this response. Property type must be a status code integer or a union of status code integer.

Examples

op read(): {@statusCode: 200, @body pet: Pet}
op create(): {@statusCode: 201 | 202}
