Serverless Stack

im aware of the sst.staticSite here: <https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/StaticSite>. but im a bit stumped on how to pass the output to the expo app.

Yeah, you can’t use StaticSite for mobile apps.

You’d have to add the Cognito User Pool Id as a stack output, ie.
```const auth = new sst.Auth(...);
this.addOutputs({
  USER_POOL_ID: auth.cogitoUserPool.userPoolId,
});```
And then if u run `sst start` or `sst deploy`, the USER_POOL_ID will be printed out in the terminal

You can then add it to a `.env` file in ur expo app.

i got that, so i would have to manually update an .env file anytime i deploy the AWS stack?

or just when i destory-recreate the API gateway?

Yeah currently it doesn’t auto update. But if your .env file only has the API endpoint then you’ll only need to update it when it gets recreated.
