# @ResponseStatus

## Main

As we have described [before](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-mvc/controllers/using-routes-and-http-handlers#declaring-routes), you **can** specify the response status for a specific endpoint by using the `options`argument in its the *route decorator.* Although, it is also possible to specify a response status at a *controller level*, this means, it will be applied to all your endpoints inside your controller. This is achieved by using the `@ResponseStatus` decorator.

## Usage

**Syntax:**

```typescript
@ResponseStatus(httpCode: Mandarine.MandarineMVC.HttpStatusCode)
```

The `@ResponseStatus` decorator must always be located at a class level, otherwise it will have no effect.

Example:

```typescript
import { Controller, ResponseStatus } from "https://deno.land/x/mandarinets/mod.ts";

@Controller()
@ResponseStatus(Mandarine.MandarineMVC.HttpStatusCode.OK)
export class MyController {
}
```
