native-data-fetching

Use fetch-based wrappers with React Query to manage API calls, caching, and offline support in Expo React Native. This setup standardizes response checks, JSON parsing, and secure token storage to prevent inconsistent data fetching.

Manage authentication tokens for React Native fetch requests by using SecureStore to handle token storage and refresh flows. Centralizing this process ensures secure API interactions and reliable request execution.

Configure React Query default options by setting staleTime, retries, and persistence to enable offline support. This integration manages state and caching, allowing data to be cached for specific durations and resuming fetches when back online.

Yes, this networking approach supports exponential backoff retry logic and abortable requests. It handles transient failures by retrying requests with exponential backoff and allows request cancellation to prevent hanging operations.

Set up environment-based API configuration for Expo applications by using the EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL variable. This configuration allows the fetch client to dynamically target the correct API endpoint based on the current environment.

React Native fetch requests fail offline because standard fetching lacks network state awareness. Implementing offline-aware retries and caching with React Query persistence allows the app to resume fetching and display cached data when back online.
