SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive guidelines and examples for creating server-side API routes within an Expo Router application, enabling secure data handling, external API integration, and server-side logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secure Server-Side Logic: Implement logic that requires server-side secrets (API keys, database credentials) or sensitive operations.
  • Database Operations & Third-Party Proxies: Directly interact with databases or proxy requests to external services while protecting API keys.
  • Use Case: Securely fetch data from a private API or process user data on the server before saving it to a database, ensuring client-side security.

Quick Start

Create a new API route by adding a +api.ts file inside your app directory.
