# HTTP Responses & Status Codes
## Check http request format from frontend-basics
# ASP.NET Status Codes
* There are multiple possible status codes for each action
* The ControllerBase which the controllers should inherit from includes __result methods__ for creating ActionResult objects
* All ActionResult objects implement IActionResult
* Includes at least a status code, and can contain data such as view items or an error message
* This result is processed into a response to then send to client
# ASP.NET Result Methods
| __Status Code__ | __Result Method__ | __Use__ |
| :-: | :-: | :-: |
| __200 - OK__ | __Ok()_ | __GET, DELETE__ |
| __201 - Created__ | __Created()_ | __POST__ |
| __204 - No content__ | __NoContent()_ | __PUT, PATCH__ |
| __400 - Bad request__ | __BadRequest()_ | __POST, PUT, PATCH__ |
| __404 - Not found__ | __NotFound()_ | __All actions__ |
| __Custom__ | __StatusCode()_ | __All actions__ |
# ASP.NET Status Codes (continued)
[HttpGet("{id}")]
public IActionResult GetContactById(int id)
{
// Contacts = list of contact objects, fetched from some repository
var contact = Contacts.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
if (contact == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
return Ok(contact);
}
The previous code first attempts to find a Contacts object using the ID provided in the URI parameter
If an item is not found, a 404 response is returned using NotFound()
Otherwise, the object is sent as a payload with a 200 OK code response using Ok(contact)

# Exercise 1: Returning Status Codes
Without using parameter constraints, modify your number list method from Lecture 2, Exercise 2 to return a status code 400 (Bad Request) if _k_ is smaller than one or larger than 100.
Add a helpful error message to the result for both cases. The message should be seen as a message body in the response.
