SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers implement, debug, and optimize network requests, API calls, and data fetching across React Native and Expo apps, covering fetch, axios, React Query, SWR, error handling, caching, and offline support.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized patterns for making API calls and data fetching in React Native/Expo projects.
  • Supports basic fetch usage, React Query (TanStack), error handling, token management, offline support, and environment-configured API URLs.
  • Use cases include fetching user data, posting resources, caching responses, and implementing retry strategies.

Quick Start

Fetch and display a user profile from an API using the provided fetch wrapper and React Query hook.

FAQPage Schema
What's the best way to handle API calls and data fetching in React Native?▼

Data fetching in React Native is best handled through centralized patterns covering fetch, axios, React Query, and SWR. This approach provides a consistent fetch layer with token management, error handling, caching, and offline resilience for Expo apps.

How do I implement offline support and caching for API requests in Expo?▼

Offline support and caching in Expo are implemented using strategies from React Query and SWR. These tools manage response caching and retry strategies, ensuring network requests recover gracefully when connectivity is interrupted.

How do I manage authentication tokens and error handling for network requests?▼

Authentication tokens and error handling for network requests are managed via a consistent fetch layer. This layer centralizes token management and applies standardized error boundaries and retry logic across all API calls.

Should I use React Query or basic fetch for my React Native data fetching?▼

Basic fetch fits simple API calls, while React Query or SWR suits complex data fetching needing caching, offline support, and retries. A centralized layer can standardize usage across both approaches within the same application.

How do I configure environment-based API URLs in a React Native app?▼

Environment-based API URLs in React Native are configured through a centralized fetch layer. This setup isolates environment variables for API integration, allowing seamless switching between development and production endpoints.
