How do I handle authentication in Expo API routes?

It is recommended to use Authorization Bearer headers for mobile clients, as cookies can be unreliable in native environments. This skill provides patterns for extracting and validating these headers securely.

How does the skill handle data validation?

The skill encourages the use of Zod or similar schema libraries to validate request bodies and parameters, ensuring that your API handlers only process correctly shaped data.

What are Expo API routes?

Expo API routes are server-side functions defined in +api.ts files within the app directory. They run in a Node.js environment and allow you to build backends directly inside your Expo Router project.

Can I use client-side hooks like useEffect in an API route?

No. API routes are server-only. This skill includes checks to ensure no React components or client-side hooks are imported into your API handler files to prevent runtime errors.

API開発

Streamlines the creation of type-safe server-side endpoints and request handlers within Expo Router applications.

The Expo API Routes skill enables developers to implement full-stack functionality directly within Expo projects using server-only +api.ts files. It provides architectural guidance on managing Node.js-based handlers, enforcing strict separation between client and server logic, and implementing type-safe communication using ExpoRequest and ExpoResponse. By automating checks for React-free server code and structured error handling, this skill ensures that backend logic is secure, performant, and easily maintainable without requiring a separate backend repository.
