Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guidance on when to use API routes for server-side secrets, database operations, and third-party proxy endpoints.
  • Patterns for file structure (app/api) and parity with Expo Router conventions.
  • Deployment considerations with EAS Hosting, environment variables, and basic error handling.

Quick Start

Review the Expo API routes guidelines and adapt them to your project's app/api structure and deployment workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure server-side API routes in Expo Router projects?▼

Use Expo API routes when handling server-side secrets, database operations, or third-party API proxies, and avoid them for client-side logic that does not require secure server execution.

Can I securely process webhooks using Expo API routes?▼

Yes, Expo API routes support processing webhooks securely by running server-side logic within EAS Hosting, keeping sensitive validation operations off the client.

What is the best way to manage environment variables for API routes on EAS Hosting?▼

Manage environment variables for EAS Hosting by configuring them during deployment, ensuring server-side secrets remain isolated from client bundles within your Expo API routes.

Does EAS Hosting support third-party API proxy endpoints in Expo apps?▼

Yes, EAS Hosting supports third-party API proxy endpoints by executing server-side logic through Expo API routes, allowing secure data validation and proxying away from the client.

When should I avoid using API routes in my Expo application?▼

Avoid using API routes for operations that do not require server-side secrets, database access, or third-party proxying, keeping unnecessary logic out of your EAS Hosting deployment.
