API reference

`ushka.http.response`

This module defines the Response class for handling HTTP responses.

The Response class ensures correct formatting for ASGI compatibility and automatically handles Cookie and Session persistence if a Request object is provided.

class `Response`

Represents an outgoing HTTP response.

`init(self, body: str | int | Dict | List | bytes = '', status_code: int = 200, headers: Dict[str, str] | None = None, media_type: str | None = None, request: Optional[Request] = None) -> None`

Initializes a new Response object.

Parameters

`body`	`str, int, dict, list, or bytes`	The content for the response body. Can be a string, integer, dictionary (will be JSON-encoded), list (will be JSON-encoded), or raw bytes. Defaults to an empty string.
`status_code`	`int`	The HTTP status code for the response. Defaults to 200.
`headers`	`Dict[str, str]`	A dictionary of custom HTTP headers to include in the response. Defaults to `None`.
`media_type`	`str`	The explicit MIME type for the response (e.g., "text/html", "application/json"). If `None`, the media type is inferred from the `body` content.
`request`	`Request`	An optional reference to the incoming `Request` object. If provided, it's used to automatically persist session data and cookies.
