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

No, Expo API routes run on Cloudflare Workers, which does not support native Node.js filesystem modules. You should use standard Web APIs instead.

How do I secure my API keys in an Expo mobile app?

You should never store API keys on the client. Use Expo API routes to act as a proxy, storing keys in server-side environment variables via EAS secrets.

What is the file naming convention for Expo API routes?

API routes in Expo Router must live in the 'app' directory and use the '+api.ts' suffix, such as 'app/api/user+api.ts'.

How do I test Expo API routes locally?

You can start the local development server with 'npx expo serve' to test your API endpoints at http://localhost:8081.

Mobile Development

Provides implementation guidelines and best practices for building serverless API routes with Expo Router and EAS Hosting.

This skill empowers developers to build secure and scalable backends directly within their Expo projects. It provides Claude with specialized knowledge on file-based routing using the +api.ts suffix, handling HTTP methods, managing server-side secrets, and deploying to Cloudflare Workers via EAS Hosting. By following these patterns, developers can easily implement webhooks, database operations, and API proxies while ensuring sensitive credentials never reach the client-side mobile application.
