SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive guidance on creating and deploying server-side API routes directly within an Expo Router application, enabling secure data handling and server-side logic without a separate backend.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server-Side Secrets: Securely manage API keys and database credentials.
  • Database Operations: Perform direct database queries and mutations.
  • Third-Party API Proxies: Integrate with external services while protecting your keys.
  • Webhook Endpoints: Set up endpoints to receive callbacks from external services.
  • Use Case: Develop a mobile app where user profiles are stored in a database. Use API routes to create, read, update, and delete user data securely, ensuring sensitive operations are handled on the server.

Quick Start

Use the expo-api-routes skill to create a GET endpoint at /api/hello that returns a JSON response.

How do I securely manage environment variables and API keys in Expo EAS Hosting?

Expo API routes allow you to securely manage server-side secrets and database credentials using environment variables, keeping sensitive API keys out of your client-side mobile app code.

Can I set up webhook endpoints using Expo Router and EAS Hosting?

Yes, you can set up webhook endpoints in Expo Router to receive callbacks from external services, handling incoming HTTP requests and parsing payloads securely within your serverless API routes.

Does Expo API routing support CORS configuration and error handling for external integrations?

Expo API routes support CORS configuration and error handling, allowing you to securely proxy third-party API integrations and manage request permissions across your serverless Cloudflare Workers deployment.

What are the limitations of using serverless API routes with Expo Router for database operations?

Serverless Expo API routes run on Cloudflare Workers and have specific environment limitations, meaning you may need to integrate alternative cloud database solutions instead of relying on traditional persistent backend connections.
