Network failures and offline data persistence are managed by checking network status with NetInfo and adopting offline-first strategies. This ensures native data fetching gracefully handles connection drops and caches data effectively for offline access.

The best way to set up React Query for API requests involves configuring TanStack Query for data fetching, caching strategies, and request cancellation. This provides robust state management and automatic retries for native application network calls.

Authentication tokens for API calls are managed securely using expo-secure-store. This handles token management by safely persisting credentials and injecting them into authenticated network requests within the native data fetching workflow.

You can use Axios for network requests, though it is discouraged compared to the standard fetch API. The fetch API provides native data fetching capabilities with less overhead while integrating seamlessly with React Query.

Environment variables for API configuration are configured by defining endpoint URLs and keys securely in the native application environment. This isolates network request settings and ensures sensitive data fetching endpoints are managed correctly across builds.

Data fetching breaks offline because standard network requests lack offline support and resilience. Implementing offline-first strategies with NetInfo and React Query caching ensures data persistence and prevents network failures from crashing the app.
