Can I use standard Node.js modules like 'fs' in these routes?

No, because EAS Hosting runs on Cloudflare Workers, you must use Web Standard APIs. Native Node.js modules like 'fs' or 'path' are not supported in this runtime.

How do I secure my API routes from unauthorized access?

You can implement authentication middleware by checking the Authorization header in the request object and validating tokens before processing the request logic.

Where do API routes live in an Expo project?

API routes are stored within the 'app' directory and must use the '+api.ts' file suffix to be correctly identified and routed by Expo Router.

How do I test my Expo API routes locally?

You can run 'npx expo serve' to start a local development server at localhost:8081, allowing you to test your endpoints using tools like curl or Postman.

How do I handle CORS for my Expo API routes?

CORS can be managed by creating an OPTIONS export to handle preflight requests and by including 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' headers in your Response objects.

Desarrollo de API

Provides comprehensive guidelines and implementation patterns for building serverless API routes using Expo Router and EAS Hosting.

Acerca de

This skill equips developers with the essential patterns and best practices for implementing backend logic directly within Expo projects. It covers everything from basic HTTP method handling and dynamic routing to complex server-side operations like database integration and secure third-party API proxying. Designed specifically for the EAS Hosting runtime on Cloudflare Workers, it helps navigate edge computing limitations and ensures secure, performant server-side functionality for React Native and web applications without the need for a separate backend infrastructure.

Características Principales

Dynamic routing patterns and request parameter extraction for complex API structures.
Standardized HTTP method handling (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) using named exports.
Secure environment variable management for protecting API keys and database credentials.
0 GitHub stars
Edge-compatible database integration patterns for platforms like Turso, D1, and Supabase.
Standardized error handling and CORS configuration for seamless web-client integration.

Casos de Uso

Building server-side webhook endpoints to handle callbacks from external services.
Securely proxying third-party APIs (like OpenAI or Stripe) to protect sensitive credentials.
Performing server-side validation and direct database operations for mobile applications.
