SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of needing secure, server-side endpoints for Expo applications that must handle sensitive secrets, database operations, and heavy computation without exposing sensitive logic or data to client devices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secure Secret Management: Store API keys, database credentials, and tokens entirely server-side to prevent client-side exposure.
  • Full HTTP Endpoint Support: Build GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints for use cases like third-party API proxying, webhook handling, and server-side data validation.
  • EAS Hosting Integration: Deploy endpoints directly to Cloudflare Workers via EAS Hosting with no manual server configuration required.
  • Use Case Example: If you are building an Expo app that processes payments via Stripe, use this skill to build a secure proxy endpoint that keeps your Stripe secret key hidden from client code.

Quick Start

Use the expo-api-routes skill to build a secure POST endpoint that proxies requests to the OpenAI API using your server-side API key.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create secure API routes in Expo Router to handle sensitive secrets?▼

You can build server-side API endpoints in Expo Router that handle sensitive secrets, database operations, and heavy computation without exposing logic to client devices. This ensures API keys and credentials remain entirely server-side.

Does Expo API routes support deployment to Cloudflare Workers via EAS Hosting?▼

Yes, Expo API routes support deployment directly to Cloudflare Workers via EAS Hosting with no manual server configuration required. This integration ensures runtime compatibility for your server-side endpoints across React Native and web projects.

What's the best way to proxy third-party API requests in a React Native app?▼

The best way to proxy third-party API requests is by building secure server-side endpoints that act as proxies, such as routing requests to the OpenAI API using a server-side key, keeping your secret keys hidden from client code.

Can I handle webhooks and server-side input validation with Expo?▼

Yes, you can handle webhooks and perform server-side input validation by creating full HTTP GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints within your Expo Router application to process incoming requests securely.

How do I configure CORS and manage environment variables for Expo backend endpoints?▼

You can configure CORS and manage environment variables for Expo backend endpoints by utilizing server-side API route configurations that securely handle tokens and credentials, ensuring sensitive data is not exposed to client devices.

When should I use server-side API routes instead of client-side logic in Expo?▼

You should use server-side API routes when processing payments, handling rate limiting, or performing compute-heavy tasks that require secure secret management and database operations hidden from client devices.
