Image upload with Expo API Routes

This is an Expo Router project to demonstrate choosing media from the device and uploading it to a server.

• Pick an image or video with ImagePicker.
• Upload the media with built-in fetch and FormData APIs.
• Use Expo Router API routes to handle the upload on the server. This can be deployed to hosting providers by following the API routes deployment guide.
• Save the file using a pseudo-database with Node.js fs and path modules. In production, you'd use a real database like MongoDB or PostgreSQL.
