SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Expo apps often require server-side logic for secrets, data persistence, validation, and integration with third-party services. This Skill standardizes how to design and organize Expo Router API routes, enabling secure, scalable server-side endpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define API routes under app/api with +api.ts suffix to map to REST-like endpoints.
  • Securely handle server-side secrets, perform data validation, and proxy external services for client apps.
  • Deploy to EAS Hosting (Cloudflare Workers) for serverless execution and webhook handling.

Quick Start

Create an API route under app/api/hello+api.ts that returns a JSON greeting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create server-side API routes in an Expo Router app?▼

Expo Router API routes are created by adding files with the +api.ts suffix under the app/api directory. This naming convention maps your files to REST-like endpoints, enabling server-side logic execution for your application.

Can I securely manage server-side secrets with Expo API routes?▼

Yes, Expo API routes support secure server-side secrets management. By moving logic to these endpoints, you keep sensitive data and third-party proxy configurations off the client, ensuring secure scalable serverless execution.

What is the best way to deploy Expo API routes to Cloudflare Workers?▼

The best way to deploy Expo API routes to Cloudflare Workers is through EAS Hosting. This serverless environment handles execution, supports webhook processing, and scales your endpoints without manual infrastructure management.

How do I handle webhooks and data validation in Expo Router?▼

You handle webhooks and data validation by defining logic within your app/api/+api.ts files. These serverless endpoints process incoming webhook payloads and validate data securely before interacting with your database or external services.

Does EAS Hosting support proxying third-party services for Expo apps?▼

Yes, EAS Hosting supports proxying third-party services. By configuring your API routes under app/api, you can route client requests through Cloudflare Workers to securely interact with external APIs without exposing keys.
