To create serverless API routes in Expo Router, define HTTP method handlers like GET or POST within your application directory using TypeScript. This allows you to securely handle server-side logic, dynamic routing, and sensitive data operations directly inside your Expo app.

Yes, you can hide API keys and manage sensitive credentials using Expo API routes. The Skill guides you through securely managing environment variables for secrets and proxying third-party requests, preventing client-side exposure of your API keys during local development and production.

You can deploy Expo Router API routes to EAS Hosting by configuring your serverless functions for the Cloudflare Workers runtime. The Skill provides deployment guidelines to publish your HTTP request handlers as serverless APIs on the EAS infrastructure.

The Cloudflare Workers runtime has specific limitations when running Expo API routes, particularly regarding database connectivity. The Skill addresses these edge cases and suggests alternative database solutions that are compatible with the serverless environment.

Yes, Expo Router supports defining HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and OPTIONS for APIs. The Skill demonstrates how to implement these request handlers and manage dynamic routing parameters to handle specific server-side resources.

You should use serverless API routes instead of client-side API calls when handling sensitive data, database operations, or external API integrations securely. This approach proxies requests through your server to prevent exposing API keys or database credentials on the client side.
