native-data-fetching

API calls and offline support in Expo Router are handled by integrating fetch with robust error handling and Expo Router data loaders (useLoaderData) for route-level data loading. This ensures data persists or fails gracefully during network interruptions.

The best way to manage caching and retries for data fetching in React Native is using React Query (TanStack Query). It provides built-in mechanisms for caching, automated retries, and handling mutations across your application.

Yes, you can use React Query with Expo Router data loaders. The integration allows you to leverage useLoaderData for route-level data loading while utilizing React Query for client-side caching, mutations, and background updates.

Token refresh patterns and secure storage for authentication flows are implemented by configuring environment-based settings and secure storage mechanisms. This manages token lifecycle automatically during network requests, ensuring authenticated API calls remain valid.

Fetch requests fail with network errors in React Native due to poor error handling or offline conditions. Implementing robust error handling, offline support, and environment-based configuration helps debug and resolve these network request failures.
