Expo API routes let you define server-side endpoints within app/api using a +api.ts suffix to protect secrets and manage data operations without exposing keys to clients. This keeps credentials secure on the server.

Yes, Expo API routes support deployment via EAS Hosting on Cloudflare Workers, enabling scalable serverless backends for mobile apps. This provides a secure layer to centralize business logic across clients.

Expo Router supports defining handlers for various HTTP methods and dynamic routes within your API endpoints. You can validate data, handle webhooks, and proxy external services directly from these route files.

Direct client calls expose credentials to users, so Expo API routes centralize server-side operations to protect secrets. This ensures sensitive keys and environment variables remain securely on the backend.

You validate inputs and handle webhooks by implementing specific HTTP method handlers inside your +api.ts route files. This centralizes business logic and data validation on the server before processing requests.

TypeScript is supported for defining serverless endpoints in Expo API routes, ensuring type safety for your server-side logic and environment variables. This helps manage data operations securely within the Expo Router.
