Therapy App Frontend

React Native + Expo client for scheduling sessions and delivering reminders.

Prerequisites

• Node 18+ (Expo SDK 54 and Jest require modern Node)
• yarn or npm
• Watchman on macOS for fast file watching

Getting Started

git clone <repo-url>
cd therapy-app-frontend
yarn install # or npm install

Run the development server:

yarn start

Use the Expo CLI prompt to launch iOS, Android, or web targets.

Testing

yarn test

Upgrade Node if Jest exits with optional-chaining syntax errors.

Routes

• Expo Router maps everything in app/.
• Tabs are in app/(tabs)/ (calendar, settings, etc.).
• Onboarding flow is under app/(onboarding)/.
• Standalone screens such as forgot-password.tsx, privacy-policy.tsx, and guides sit at the top of app/.

API Layer

• src/api/client.ts centralizes fetch configuration, auth headers, retries, and error parsing.
• Helper wrappers (apiGet, apiPost, etc.) share base URL and timeout defaults from src/constants/env.ts.
• Feature-specific endpoints are grouped per domain (e.g. src/api/users.ts, reminder utilities under src/features/reminders/).

Project Notes

• Environment config is split between app.json and src/constants/env.ts.
