Publish your web app

Learn how to deploy your web app using EAS Hosting.

If you are building a universal app, you can quickly deploy your web app using EAS Hosting. It is a service for deploying web apps built with Expo Router and React.

Export your web project

To deploy your web app, you need to create a static build of your web project. Export your web project into a dist directory by running the following command:

Remember to re-run this command every time before deploying when you make changes to your web app.

Initial deployment

To publish your web app, run the following EAS CLI command:

After running this command for the first time, you'll be prompted to select a preview subdomain for your project. This subdomain is a prefix used to create a preview URL and is used for production deployments. For example, in https://test-app--1234.expo.app, test-app is the preview subdomain.

Once your deployment is complete, the EAS CLI will output a preview URL to access your deployed app.

Production deployment

To create a production deployment, run the following EAS CLI command:

Once your deployment is complete, the EAS CLI will output a production URL to access your deployed app.

Deploy automatically

You can automatically deploy your app to the web with EAS Workflows. First, you'll need to configure your project, add a file named .eas/workflows/deploy-web.yml at the root of your project, then add the following workflow configuration:

name: Deploy web

on:
  push:
    branches: ['main']

jobs:
  deploy_web:
    name: Deploy web
    type: deploy
    params:
      prod: true

The workflow above will create a web deployment on every commit to your project's main branch. You can also run this workflow manually with the following EAS CLI command:
