Does this skill cover authentication and security?

Yes, it includes detailed implementation guides for secure token storage using expo-secure-store and automated token refresh logic to maintain user sessions.

Can it help me manage different API environments?

Absolutely, it provides patterns for using EXPO_PUBLIC_ environment variables and .env files to manage different API URLs for development, staging, and production.

Why should I use this skill for Expo networking?

It enforces best practices like preferring expo/fetch over axios and provides proven patterns for caching, retries, and error handling specifically tailored for the mobile environment.

How does it handle offline connectivity?

It integrates with NetInfo and React Query's onlineManager to monitor connection status and automatically pause or resume network requests based on device connectivity.

Mobile Development

Implements robust API requests, data synchronization strategies, and network management for Expo and React Native applications.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for managing network communication within the Expo ecosystem. It helps developers implement everything from basic fetch requests and error handling to advanced data synchronization using TanStack Query (React Query). Beyond simple requests, it covers critical production concerns such as secure authentication token management with Expo SecureStore, offline-first architectures using NetInfo, and secure environment variable configuration for multi-environment deployments, ensuring mobile applications are resilient and performant.

Key Features

Offline-first support and network status monitoring with NetInfo integration
Environment variable configuration for dev, staging, and production environments
Standardized Fetch API implementations with robust error handling and retries
Complete TanStack Query setup for caching, synchronization, and mutations
Secure authentication and token refresh logic using Expo SecureStore
