basefyio + React Native: Backend for Mobile Apps

React Native apps need a backend they can call directly. basefyio-js works in React Native to query the database, authenticate users, and upload files.

Install

npm install basefyio-js

Create the client

// basefyio.ts
import { createClient } from "basefyio-js";

export const bf =createClient({
  projectId: process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_BASEFYIO_PROJECT_ID!,
  apiKey: process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_BASEFYIO_ANON_KEY!,
});

With Expo, use EXPO_PUBLIC_ env variables for the anon key. Secure user data with row-level security so the mobile client only sees permitted rows.

Sign in and load data

import { bf } from "./basefyio";

await bf.auth.signIn({ email, password });

const { data } = await bf
  .from("messages")
  .select("id, body, sent_at")
  .order("sent_at", { ascending: true });

Direct, serverless calls

Your app talks to the backend over plain HTTP/JSON — no server to maintain per screen.

Auth built in

Email, OAuth, and magic-link sign-in via bf.auth, with sessions handled for you.

Files with signed URLs

Upload media to S3-compatible storage and serve it with access-controlled URLs.

Frequently asked questions

Does basefyio-js work in React Native and Expo?
Yes. It's a standard JavaScript SDK using fetch, so it runs in React Native and Expo. Use public env variables for the anon key.
How is mobile data kept secure?
Authentication plus row-level security means even direct API calls only return rows the signed-in user is allowed to access.
