+
+> **Deterministic, scoped, engine-agnostic offline mutation & request queue for Expo & React Native.**  
+> Add offline-first resilience to your existing REST, GraphQL, or tRPC endpoints in **under 10 minutes** without rewriting your database.
+
+---
+
+## 🌟 Why expo-offline-sync?
+
+Existing offline solutions force extreme trade-offs:
+
+- **Heavyweight / Invasive (WatermelonDB, RxDB, PowerSync):** Require rewriting your entire schema with custom ORMs, setting up specialized sync backends, or paying for proprietary cloud sync engines.
+- **Legacy & Abandoned (redux-offline):** Bound to Redux, broken in modern Expo / React Native New Architecture.
+- **TanStack Query Mutation Limitations:** Storing pending mutations across app restarts is notoriously tricky and fails when functions/closures cannot be serialized.
+
+**`expo-offline-sync` takes the pragmatic approach:**  
+Keep your existing backend and state management (Zustand, TanStack Query, Redux, or raw fetch). Whenever the user performs an action while offline (e.g. sending a message, submitting a form, liking a post), it safely queues it into **encrypted/durable local SQLite** and synchronizes deterministically when connectivity returns.
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- 🎯 **Engine-Agnostic:** Works with fetch, Axios, TanStack Query, Zustand, tRPC, GraphQL, or Firebase.
+- 🛡 **Scoped Queuing (No Head-of-Line Blocking):** Mutations can run in independent scopes (e.g. `scope: 'chat:room_1'`). A retry in Room 1 will **never** block a profile update in another scope.
+- 🔁 **Jittered Exponential Backoff:** Smart retry policies prevent server thundering herds.
+- 🔐 **Dynamic Auth Token Injection:** Injects fresh JWT/Bearer tokens at execution time (`getHeaders`). Enqueued mutations won't fail with 401 even after being offline for hours!
+- 💾 **Durable SQLite Storage:** Backed by modern Expo SQLite (SDK 51/52+ fast asynchronous API) with in-memory fallbacks.
+- 🎨 **Optimistic UI & Rollback:** Built-in `useOfflineMutation` hook gives instant UI feedback and clean rollback on permanent failure.
+- 🌙 **Background Sync Support:** Optional plugin for `expo-background-fetch` and `expo-task-manager` to sync while the app is in the background or killed.
+- 🧩 **100% Customizable:** Custom storage adapters, custom retry rules, custom network checks, and request interceptors.

+
+## 📦 Installation
+
+```bash
+npx expo install expo-offline-sync expo-sqlite @react-native-community/netinfo
+```
+
+_(Optional: For background sync capabilities)_
+
+```bash
+npx expo install expo-background-fetch expo-task-manager
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start (5 Minutes)
+
+### 1. Initialize the Provider
+
+Wrap your app with `OfflineSyncProvider`:
+
+```tsx
+// App.tsx
+import React from "react";
+import { OfflineSyncProvider } from "expo-offline-sync";
+
+export default function App() {
+  return (
+    <OfflineSyncProvider
+      options={{
+        // Dynamically resolve auth token before replaying requests
+        getHeaders: async () => ({
+          Authorization: `Bearer ${await getAuthToken()}`,
+        }),
+      }}
+    >
+      <MainScreen />
+    </OfflineSyncProvider>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Register Mutations (Typed Registry Pattern)
+
+Register handlers anywhere during app initialization (e.g. `sync.ts` or inside your API layer):
+
+```typescript
+import { OfflineSyncClient } from "expo-offline-sync";
+
+export const syncClient = new OfflineSyncClient();
+
+// Register a mutation handler
+syncClient.register(
+  "SEND_MESSAGE",
+  async (payload: { chatId: string; text: string }) => {
+    const response = await fetch(
+      `https://api.example.com/chats/${payload.chatId}/messages`,
+      {
+        method: "POST",
+        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
+        body: JSON.stringify({ text: payload.text }),
+      },
+    );
+
+    if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Failed to send message");
+    return response.json();
+  },
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. Use in React (WhatsApp-Style Chat Example)
+
+```tsx
+import React, { useState } from "react";
+import { View, Text, TextInput, Button } from "react-native";
+import { useOfflineMutation, useQueueStatus } from "expo-offline-sync";
+
+export function ChatScreen({ chatId }: { chatId: string }) {
+  const [text, setText] = useState("");
+  const [messages, setMessages] = useState<any[]>([]);
+
+  // Hook automatically manages optimistic updates & rollback
+  const { mutate } = useOfflineMutation({
+    type: "SEND_MESSAGE",
+    scope: `chat:${chatId}`, // Scoped FIFO queue for this chat room
+    onMutate: (payload, item) => {
+      // 1. Instant Optimistic Update
+      setMessages((prev) => [
+        ...prev,
+        { id: item.id, text: payload.text, status: "pending" }, // Shows clock icon 🕒
+      ]);
+    },
+    onSuccess: (result, item) => {
+      // 2. Mark as delivered ✓✓
+      setMessages((prev) =>
+        prev.map((m) => (m.id === item.id ? { ...m, status: "sent" } : m)),
+      );
+    },
+    onError: (error, item) => {
+      // 3. Mark as failed ⚠️
+      setMessages((prev) =>
+        prev.map((m) => (m.id === item.id ? { ...m, status: "failed" } : m)),
+      );
+    },
+  });
+
+  const handleSend = () => {
+    mutate({ chatId, text });
+    setText("");
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <View>
+      {messages.map((m) => (
+        <Text key={m.id}>
+          {m.text} {m.status === "pending" ? "🕒" : "✓✓"}
+        </Text>
+      ))}
+      <TextInput value={text} onChangeText={setText} />
+      <Button title="Send" onPress={handleSend} />
+    </View>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. Zero-Boilerplate Direct REST Requests (`enqueueHttp`)
+
+Don't want to register a mutation handler? Queue any REST request directly:
+
+```typescript
+await syncClient.enqueueHttp({
+  url: "https://api.example.com/v1/posts/like",
+  method: "POST",
+  body: { postId: "123" },
+  scope: "likes", // runs sequentially for likes
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎛 Queue Monitoring & Status (`useQueueStatus`)
+
+Track real-time queue counts and trigger manual syncs:
+
+```tsx
+import { useQueueStatus } from "expo-offline-sync";
+
+export function QueueHeader() {
+  const { isOnline, isSyncing, stats, sync, retryAll } = useQueueStatus();
+
+  return (
+    <View>
+      <Text>{isOnline ? "🟢 Connected" : "🔴 Offline"}</Text>
+      <Text>Pending in SQLite: {stats.pending}</Text>
+      <Text>Failed items: {stats.failed}</Text>
+
+      <Button title="Sync Now" onPress={() => sync()} disabled={isSyncing} />
+      {stats.failed > 0 && (
+        <Button title="Retry Failed" onPress={() => retryAll()} />
+      )}
+    </View>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🌙 Background Sync (Optional)
+
+Replay pending requests even if the user closed the app:
+
+```typescript
+import { registerBackgroundSync } from "expo-offline-sync";
+
+// Call in root index.js / App.tsx
+await registerBackgroundSync(syncClient, {
+  minimumInterval: 15 * 60, // 15 minutes (iOS minimum)
+  startOnBoot: true,
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Advanced Customization
+
+Every component of `expo-offline-sync` can be customized:
+
+```typescript
+const client = new OfflineSyncClient({
+  // 1. Custom Storage Adapter (defaults to SQLiteAdapter)
+  storage: new SQLiteAdapter({ databaseName: "my_app_offline.db" }),
+
+  // 2. Custom Retry Policy
+  retryPolicy: {
+    maxRetries: 5,
+    initialDelayMs: 1000,
+    maxDelayMs: 30000,
+    backoffFactor: 2,
+    jitter: true,
+    shouldRetry: (error, item) => {
+      // Don't retry 400 or 422 errors; retry 5xx and network errors
+      if (
+        error?.status >= 400 &&
+        error?.status < 500 &&
+        error?.status !== 401
+      ) {
+        return false;
+      }
+      return true;
+    },
+  },
+
+  // 3. Concurrency
+  maxConcurrentScopes: 4, // Max different scopes executing in parallel
+
+  // 4. Global Request Lifecycle
+  onRequest: async (item) => {
+    console.log(`Executing mutation ${item.id} of type ${item.type}`);
+  },
+  onResponse: async (item, result) => {
+    console.log(`Mutation ${item.id} completed successfully`);
+  },
+  onRollback: async (item, error) => {
+    console.warn(`Mutation ${item.id} permanently failed:`, error.message);
+  },
+});
+```
