native-data-fetching

Implement network requests and data fetching by using the fetch API or axios for outgoing HTTP calls, applying best practices for robust and efficient data retrieval in mobile applications. This ensures reliable API integration and core data management.

The best way to manage API data caching and error handling is using data fetching libraries like React Query or SWR. They provide built-in mechanisms for retry logic, caching strategies, and robust error handling to maintain application stability.

Offline support works by monitoring network status and queuing API calls when the connection is lost. This offline support mechanism automatically manages network requests, ensuring data synchronization resumes smoothly when connectivity restores.

Securely handle authentication tokens by implementing dedicated token management and refresh mechanisms for your API calls. This approach ensures authentication credentials are securely stored and automatically renewed during data fetching operations.

You do not need React Query specifically, as you can use the native fetch API or axios for API integration. However, data fetching libraries like React Query or SWR are recommended for advanced caching strategies and complex state management.
