SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps Expo apps move sensitive logic out of the client so secrets, database queries, and webhook handling stay server-side and production-ready.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server-side secrets for API keys and tokens.
  • API endpoints for database reads, writes, and validation.
  • Webhook receivers, third-party proxies, rate limiting, and CPU-heavy work.
  • Example: expose a protected weather or AI endpoint to a React Native client without leaking credentials.

Quick Start

Create an Expo Router API route in the app directory that returns JSON for a simple endpoint and deploy it with EAS Hosting.

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

Secure Expo API routes are created by adding +api.ts route files within your app directory to handle Request and Response objects, ensuring sensitive logic stays server-side and production-ready.

How do I hide API keys and secrets in a React Native application?▼

To hide API keys in React Native, move sensitive logic into Expo API routes and use server-side environment variables, preventing client-side credential leakage while proxying third-party API requests.

Can I deploy Expo API routes on Cloudflare Workers?▼

Yes, you can deploy Expo API routes on Cloudflare Workers by using EAS Hosting, which supports serverless deployment for both mobile and web scenarios including webhook receivers and background computation.

Does Expo Router support server-side webhook receivers and rate limiting?▼

Yes, Expo Router supports server-side webhook receivers and rate limiting through its API routes, allowing you to handle incoming webhooks, validate requests, and perform heavier CPU work outside the mobile client.

What is the best way to run database queries from a React Native app without exposing credentials?▼

The best way to run secure database queries is by using Expo API routes as server-side proxies, handling database reads, writes, and validation internally while only returning safe JSON responses to the client.

Do I need to configure CORS for Expo API routes on EAS Hosting?▼

Yes, you need to configure CORS support for your Expo API routes when your web or mobile clients request resources from different origins, ensuring secure cross-origin resource sharing on EAS Hosting.
