localforage-asyncstorage-driver

This Library contains a driver which enables to use localforage for React-Native's AsyncStorage.

Peer Dependencies

Please note! With the switch to v3.0.0 @react-native-async-storage/async-storage became a peer dependency!!

Setup

Simply install the driver via NPM:

npm i --save @aveq-research/localforage-asyncstorage-driver

If not done yet, make sure to have the appropriate peer dependencies (react resp. react-native) to be installed.

Usage

It delivers three different methods to create an appropriate driver:

• driverWithoutSerialization(): Create a common AsyncStorage driver which does not serialize any data automatically; you need to integrate your own serialization!
• driverWithSerialization(serializer): Creates an AsyncStorage driver with the given serializer; A valid serializer needs to contain a serialize and deserialize method
• driverWithDefaultSerialization(): Will use the default serialization from localforage

Working Code Example:

import { driverWithoutSerialization } from '@aveq-research/localforage-asyncstorage-driver';

const driver = driverWithoutSerialization();
await localforage.defineDriver(driver);
await localforage.setDriver(driver._driver); // i.e. "rnAsyncStorageWrapper"

Alternatively with instance usage:

import { driverWithoutSerialization } from '@aveq-research/localforage-asyncstorage-driver';

const driver = driverWithoutSerialization();
const instance = localforage.createInstance({ driver });

After that you may use localforage as you know it already. For further questions concerning the localforage API, lookup https://github.com/localForage/localForage
