### `Delete`, `Get`, `Patch`, `Post` and `Put` ### `Delete`, `Get`, `Patch`, `Post` and `Put`
These 5 combinators are very similar except that they each describe a The `Get` combinator is defined in terms of the more general `Verb`:
different HTTP method. This is how they're declared
``` haskell ignore ``` haskell ignore
data Delete (contentTypes :: [*]) a data Verb method (statusCode :: Nat) (contentType :: [*]) a
data Get (contentTypes :: [*]) a type Get = Verb 'GET 200
data Patch (contentTypes :: [*]) a
data Post (contentTypes :: [*]) a
data Put (contentTypes :: [*]) a
``` ```
An endpoint ends with one of the 5 combinators above (unless you write your There are other predefined type synonyms for other common HTTP methods,
own). Examples: such as e.g.:
``` haskell ignore
data Delete = Verb 'DELETE 200
data Patch = Verb 'PATCH 200
data Post = Verb 'POST 200
data Put = Verb 'PUT 200
```
There are also variants that do not return a 200 status code, such
as for example:
``` haskell ignore
type PostCreated = Verb 'POST 201
type PostAccepted = Verb 'POST 202
```
An endpoint always ends with a variant of the `Verb` combinator
(unless you write your own combinators). Examples:
``` haskell ``` haskell
type UserAPI4 = "users" :> Get '[JSON] [User] type UserAPI4 = "users" :> Get '[JSON] [User]
