SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Solves the complexity of network requests by providing a unified approach to API calls, data fetching, caching, and offline support in Expo/React Native apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified fetch strategies using the fetch API and React Query for reliable data loading.
  • Robust error handling with typed error patterns and retry logic.
  • Token management and secure storage for authentication.

Quick Start

Implement a basic authenticated fetch to retrieve user data from an API and cache results using React Query.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle API calls and data fetching in Expo React Native?

API calls and data fetching in Expo React Native can be handled using unified fetch strategies alongside React Query for reliable loading and caching. This approach streamlines basic requests and complex data workflows.

What is the best way to manage authentication tokens for network requests in React Native?

Authentication tokens for network requests in React Native are best managed using secure storage. This skill implements token management via expo-secure-store to safely store and retrieve credentials during API calls.

How does React Query work with offline support in Expo apps?

React Query works with offline support in Expo apps by caching fetched data and enabling optional offline synchronization. This allows your application to maintain data availability and queue updates when network connectivity is lost.

How do I configure environment variables for API requests in Expo?

Environment variables for API requests in Expo are configured using EXPO_PUBLIC_ prefixes. This ensures that public environment configuration is correctly exposed and applied across your data fetching workflows.

Why does my fetch request fail and how do I implement error handling in React Native?

Fetch requests fail due to network issues or server errors, requiring robust error handling in React Native. This skill applies typed error patterns and retry logic to automatically manage and recover from API failures.
