Enhancement: Allow body parameter to have an arbitrary name. about litestar HOT 6 OPEN

Yeah. I think we should do this for all injected things.

E.g.

async def handler(
  param: Query[str], 
  request_body: Body[list[str]], 
  header: Header[int],
):
 ...

IMO this belongs to the DI redesign and is something I'd definitely want to address as part of that.

I've guessing this should also apply to other reserved parameters such as state and query?

Agree - it would be great to be more flexible in this respect!

Just want to highlight how nice it would be to split Parameter into more specific types, ie. Body, Query, Header, Cookie, Path(?). Current mechanism of having to thing: Annotated[int, Parameter(header="thing")] vs thing: Annotated[int, Header()]) feels a bit bloated.

Also discussed in #3223 (comment) & #3223 (comment). FYI.

@tuukkamustonen That's already in the current proposal, see #3053 (comment)

Yeah, just wanted to highlight how nice it would be to have those types. The topic of the ticket is "allow ... parameter to have an arbitrary name" (and not add Query, Body, etc convenience wrappers for shorter field name syntax...) after all.

But yeah, good that you have it scoped like that 👍🏻
