### Using REST resources

```typescript
import { shopifyApp } from "@shopify/shopify-app-remix/server";
import { restResources } from "@shopify/shopify-api/rest/admin/2023-07";

const shopify = shopifyApp({
  restResources,
  // ...etc
});
export default shopify;
export const authenticate = shopify.authenticate;
```

```typescript
import { LoaderArgs, json } from "@remix-run/node";
import { authenticate } from "../shopify.server";

export const loader = async ({ request }: LoaderArgs) => {
  const { admin, session } = await authenticate.admin(request);
  return json(admin.rest.resources.Order.count({ session }));
};
```

const shopify = shopifyApp({
  restResources,
  // ...etc
});
export default shopify;
export const authenticate = shopify.authenticate;
```

```typescript
import { LoaderArgs, json } from "@remix-run/node";
import { authenticate } from "../shopify.server";

export const loader = async ({ request }: LoaderArgs) => {
  const { admin, session } = await authenticate.admin(request);
  const response = await admin.rest.get({ path: "/customers/count.json" });
  const customers = await response.json();
  return json({ customers });
};
```
