## Defining a route with path parameters
**old:**
```python
# with <>
@offlineshop_ext.route("/lnurl/<item_id>", methods=["GET"])
```
**new:**
```python
# with curly braces: {}
@offlineshop_ext.get("/lnurl/{item_id}")
```
## Check if a user exists and access user object
**old:**
```python
# decorators
@check_user_exists()
async def do_routing_stuff():
pass
```
**new:**
If user doesn't exist, `Depends(check_user_exists)` will raise an exception.
If user exists, `user` will be the user object
```python
# depends calls
@core_html_routes.get("/my_route")
async def extensions(user: User = Depends(check_user_exists)):
pass
```
## Returning data from API calls
**old:**
```python
return (
{
"id": wallet.wallet.id,
"name": wallet.wallet.name,
"balance": wallet.wallet.balance_msat
},
HTTPStatus.OK,
)
```
FastAPI returns `HTTPStatus.OK` by default id no Exception is raised
**new:**
```python
return {
"id": wallet.wallet.id,
"name": wallet.wallet.name,
"balance": wallet.wallet.balance_msat
}
```
To change the default HTTPStatus, add it to the path decorator
```python
@core_app.post("/api/v1/payments", status_code=HTTPStatus.CREATED)
async def payments():
pass
```
## Raise exceptions
**old:**
```python
return (
{"message": f"Failed to connect to {domain}."},
HTTPStatus.BAD_REQUEST,
)
# or the Quart way via abort function
abort(HTTPStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, "Could not process withdraw LNURL.")
```
**new:**
Raise an exception to return a status code other than the default status code.
```python
raise HTTPException(
status_code=HTTPStatus.BAD_REQUEST,
detail=f"Failed to connect to {domain}."
)
```
## Extensions
**old:**
```python
from quart import Blueprint
amilk_ext: Blueprint = Blueprint(
"amilk", __name__, static_folder="static", template_folder="templates"
)
```
**new:**
```python
from fastapi import APIRouter
from lnbits.jinja2_templating import Jinja2Templates
from lnbits.helpers import template_renderer
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles
offlineshop_ext: APIRouter = APIRouter(
prefix="/Extension",
tags=["Offlineshop"]
)
offlineshop_ext.mount(
"lnbits/extensions/offlineshop/static",
StaticFiles("lnbits/extensions/offlineshop/static")
)
offlineshop_rndr = template_renderer([
"lnbits/extensions/offlineshop/templates",
])
```
## Possible optimizations
### Use Redis as a cache server
Instead of hitting the database over and over again, we can store a short lived object in [Redis](https://redis.io) for an arbitrary key.
Example:
* Get transactions for a wallet ID
* User data for a user id
* Wallet data for a Admin / Invoice key
