React Native Async Storage

An asynchronous, unencrypted, persistent, key-value storage system for React Native.

Getting Started

Install

$ yarn add @react-native-community/async-storage

Link

• React Native 0.60+

CLI autolink feature links the module while building the app.

• React Native <= 0.59

$ react-native link @react-native-community/async-storage

Note For iOS using cocoapods, run:

$ cd ios/ && pod install

See docs for manual linking guide

Upgrading to React Native 0.60+

New React Native comes with autolinking feature, which automatically links Native Modules in your project. In order to get it to work, make sure you unlink Async Storage first:

$ react-native unlink @react-native-community/async-storage

Usage

Import

import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-community/async-storage';

Store data

storeData = async () => {
  try {
    await AsyncStorage.setItem('@storage_Key', 'stored value')
  } catch (e) {
    // saving error
  }
}

Read data

getData = async () => {
  try {
    const value = await AsyncStorage.getItem('@storage_Key')
    if(value !== null) {
      // value previously stored
    }
  } catch(e) {
    // error reading value
  }
}

Advanced

See docs for api and more examples or advanced usages.
