Navigation Setup (React Navigation v7)

export type RootStackParamList = {
  Auth: undefined;
  Home: undefined;
  Detail: { id: string };
  Settings: undefined;
};

export type RootStackScreenProps<T extends keyof RootStackParamList> =
  NativeStackScreenProps<RootStackParamList, T>;

const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator<RootStackParamList>();

export const RootNavigator = () => {
  const isLoggedIn = useAuthStore((s) => s.isLoggedIn);

  return (
    <Stack.Navigator screenOptions={{ headerShown: false }}>
      {isLoggedIn ? (
        <>
          <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
          <Stack.Screen name="Detail" component={DetailScreen} />
        </>
      ) : (
        <Stack.Screen name="Auth" component={AuthScreen} />
      )}
    </Stack.Navigator>
  );
};

State Management (Zustand + React Query)

// Client state — Zustand
interface AuthState {
  token: string | null;
  isLoggedIn: boolean;
  setToken: (token: string) => void;
  logout: () => void;
}

export const useAuthStore = create<AuthState>()(
  persist(
    (set) => ({
      token: null,
      isLoggedIn: false,
      setToken: (token) => set({ token, isLoggedIn: true }),
      logout: () => set({ token: null, isLoggedIn: false }),
    }),
    { name: 'auth-storage', storage: createJSONStorage(() => mmkvStorage) }
  )
);

// Server state — React Query
export const useItems = () =>
  useQuery({
    queryKey: ['items'],
    queryFn: itemsApi.getAll,
    staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes
  });

export const useRefreshItems = () =>
  useMutation({
    mutationFn: itemsApi.refresh,
    onSuccess: () => queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['items'] }),
  });

Screen Pattern

type HomeScreenProps = RootStackScreenProps<'Home'>;

export const HomeScreen: FC<HomeScreenProps> = ({ navigation }) => {
  const { data: items, isLoading, isError, refetch } = useItems();

  if (isLoading) return <LoadingView />;
  if (isError) return <ErrorView onRetry={refetch} />;

  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
      <FlatList
        data={items}
        keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}
        renderItem={({ item }) => (
          <ItemCard
            item={item}
            onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Detail', { id: item.id })}
          />
        )}
        ListEmptyComponent={<EmptyView />}
        refreshControl={
          <RefreshControl refreshing={isLoading} onRefresh={refetch} />
        }
      />
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
};

API Client (Axios with interceptors)

const apiClient = axios.create({
  baseURL: Config.API_BASE_URL,
  timeout: 10_000,
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
});

// Auth token injection
apiClient.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  const token = useAuthStore.getState().token;
  if (token) config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`;
  return config;
});

// Token refresh on 401
apiClient.interceptors.response.use(
  (res) => res,
  async (error: AxiosError) => {
    if (error.response?.status === 401) {
      const newToken = await refreshToken();
      if (newToken) {
        useAuthStore.getState().setToken(newToken);
        return apiClient(error.config!);
      }
      useAuthStore.getState().logout();
    }
    return Promise.reject(error);
  }
);

API Response Validation (Zod)

const ItemSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string(),
  title: z.string(),
  description: z.string().optional(),
  createdAt: z.string().datetime(),
});

const ItemsResponseSchema = z.array(ItemSchema);
type Item = z.infer<typeof ItemSchema>;

const getItems = async (): Promise<Item[]> => {
  const { data } = await apiClient.get('/items');
  return ItemsResponseSchema.parse(data); // throws ZodError on invalid shape
};

New Architecture (Bridgeless) Notes

• Enable New Architecture in android/gradle.properties: newArchEnabled=true
• Use TurboModules for native modules; avoid legacy NativeModules API
• Use Fabric for custom native views
• Test with Hermes JS engine always enabled

Performance Tips

• Use useCallback + memo on renderItem / list item components
• FlatList windowSize, initialNumToRender, maxToRenderPerBatch tuned
• Avoid anonymous inline functions in JSX
• InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions for heavy post-navigation work
• react-native-reanimated for 60fps animations (runs on UI thread)

Testing

describe('HomeScreen', () => {
  it('shows items when query succeeds', async () => {
    server.use(
      http.get(`${API_URL}/items`, () =>
        HttpResponse.json([{ id: '1', title: 'Test Item' }])
      )
    );

    const { getByText } = render(
      <QueryClientProvider client={testQueryClient}>
        <HomeScreen navigation={mockNavigation} route={mockRoute} />
      </QueryClientProvider>
    );

    expect(await findByText('Test Item')).toBeTruthy();
  });
});
