Expo API Routes Guide
Guides the implementation of secure, server-side API endpoints within Expo Router applications for deployment to EAS Hosting.
This skill provides comprehensive guidelines and implementation patterns for building server-side logic using Expo Router API routes. It assists developers in creating file-based endpoints with the +api.ts suffix, managing server-side secrets, and handling complex database operations that should never reach the client. Designed for the modern Expo ecosystem, it focuses on best practices for Cloudflare Workers deployment via EAS Hosting, covering everything from environment variable management to CORS configuration and serverless database integration.
