Http response codes (no helper class)

[yildirimmurat]

Hi there,

I am new to this framework so, this question might be trivial. I am trying to set statusCode on my rest api and lets say for 401 code i need to write like

\Yii::$app->response->setStatusCode(401);

i was checking if there is a helper class and so that i can get some constants for http response codes like

\Yii::$app->response->setStatusCode(Response::UNAUTHORIZED);

I do not want to write any helper class for this myself so I checked if Yii2 has any helper for this.. There is none if I am not mistaken. I do not want to do something like this because its just overkill:

\Yii::$app->response->setStatusCode((new UnauthorizedHttpException())->statusCode);

So, for now I am using symfonys helper class:

\Yii::$app->response->setStatusCode(\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED);

I just wanted to state that would be nice if Yii2 has something similar..

Best regards

We are not planning to add constants for that. List of statuses is available at yii\web\Response::$httpStatuses.

Thanks for quick reply @bizley . The aim is actually writing a more readable code, one can find codes easily. But, allright I noted that its not on future plans

Why not use helper from Yii3?

Absolutely could be used same as many Yii3 components already released.
