Hi all,

I’m wondering how I can set status code to 201 for response. I dive into documentation and i didn’t found the way to achieve it.

I would like answer by Htp 201 with JsonBody payload. I sppose there is an other way than oneOfVariant ?

Many thanks for your help,

Kind regards,

You can use the `statusCode` output ([see also the docs](https://tapir.softwaremill.com/en/latest/endpoint/ios.html#status-codes)). There are two variants - either a static status code (`statusCode(StatusCode.Created)`). Or a dynamic one, which is set by the server logic (`statusCode` without parameters).

Hi!

Many thanks for your answer. I wish you happy new year 🤗.

From my comprehension, in case of using statusCode(…) that means that I can’t put nothing in response body?

Also, by using onOf Variant I must used with error canal and in my case created status code is not error case (if I am not’wrong)

You know what I mean?

May be do you have one example?

You can combine the output with any other, e.g. `statusCode(Created).and(stringBody)`. Or alternatively: `endpoint.out(statusCode).out(stringBody)`.

I’ve created a small example here: [tapir/StatusCodeNettyFutureServer.scala at master · softwaremill/tapir · GitHub](https://github.com/softwaremill/tapir/blob/master/examples/src/main/scala/sttp/tapir/examples/status_code/StatusCodeNettyFutureServer.scala)
