native-data-fetching

React Query and SWR caching strategies for Expo web and native apps provide data persistence, offline fallback support, and robust error handling through custom ApiError types to preserve user experience.

The best way to manage authentication tokens in Expo Router is using expo-secure-store to securely persist credentials and handle token refresh during data loader network requests.

React Query works with Expo Router data loaders by integrating server state management with native fetch patterns, enabling robust network requests, data caching, and offline support across environments.

Configure environment variables for React Native API calls using environment-specific guidance to manage endpoints, API keys, and authentication tokens securely across web and native deployment stages.

Use expo/fetch instead of the standard fetch API to ensure network requests are properly configured for React Native and Expo environments, avoiding native compatibility issues and enabling robust error handling.
