## TypeSpec.Http

### `@body` {#@TypeSpec.Http.body}

Explicitly specify that this property type will be exactly the HTTP body.

This means that any properties under `@body` cannot be marked as headers, query parameters, or path parameters.
If wanting to change the resolution of the body but still mix parameters, use `@bodyRoot`.

```typespec
@TypeSpec.Http.body
```

#### Target

`ModelProperty`

#### Parameters

None

#### Examples

```typespec
op upload(@body image: bytes): void;
op download(): {
  @body image: bytes;
};
```

### `@bodyIgnore` {#@TypeSpec.Http.bodyIgnore}

Specify that this property shouldn't be included in the HTTP body.
This can be useful when bundling metadata together that would result in an empty property to be included in the body.

```typespec
@TypeSpec.Http.bodyIgnore
```

#### Target

`ModelProperty`

#### Parameters

None

#### Examples

```typespec
op upload(
  name: string,
  @bodyIgnore headers: {
    @header id: string;
  },
): void;
```

### `@bodyRoot` {#@TypeSpec.Http.bodyRoot}

Specify that the body resolution should be resolved from that property.
By default the body is resolved by including all properties in the operation request/response that are not metadata.
This allows to nest the body in a property while still allowing to use headers, query parameters, and path parameters in the same model.

```typespec
@TypeSpec.Http.bodyRoot
```

#### Target

`ModelProperty`

#### Parameters

None

#### Examples

```typespec
op upload(
  @bodyRoot user: {
    name: string;
    @header id: string;
  },
): void;
op download(): {
  @bodyRoot user: {
    name: string;
    @header id: string;
  };
};
```

### `@cookie` {#@TypeSpec.Http.cookie}

Specify this property is to be sent or received in the cookie.

```typespec
@TypeSpec.Http.cookie(cookieNameOrOptions?: valueof string | TypeSpec.Http.CookieOptions)
```

#### Target

`ModelProperty`

#### Parameters

### `@sharedRoute` {#@TypeSpec.Http.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.

```

#### Target

`ModelProperty`

#### Parameters

None

#### Examples

```typespec
op read(): {
  @statusCode _: 200;
  @body pet: Pet;
};
op create(): {
  @statusCode _: 201 | 202;
};
```

### `@useAuth` {#@TypeSpec.Http.useAuth}

Specify authentication for a whole service or specific methods. See the [documentation in the Http library](https://typespec.io/docs/libraries/http/authentication) for full details.
