Storage in React Native

-

I'm about to develop offline dictionary app with React Native. But I'm not sure which storage is the best in React Native between SQLite & AsyncStorage. As I read some online documentation and tutorials, when I use SQLite I must need to configure SQLite library in each app iOS and android. And when I look through AsyncStorage not sure it can be handle or not million records inside it. That's why I like to know which one should I use between SQLite & AsyncStorage or some cool library out there for React Native?

For that case, I recommend using Realm. It is simply much faster than AsyncStorage and SQLite. Read this and this for more info.

AsyncStorage has slow runtime and has no indexing capabilities. It accepts only strings as its value and you need to serialize data before inserting and deserialize when reading. So it's not good for large amount of data. It also has 6MB limitation for Android devices.

Meaning of `{}` for return expression

-
15 1 I found by accident that the following compiles: #include <string> #include <iostream> class A{ int i{}; std::string s{}; public: A(int _i, const std::string& _s) : i(_i), s(_s) { puts("Called A(int, const std::string)"); } }; A foo(int k, const char* cstr){ return {k, cstr}; // (*) } int main(){ auto a = foo(10, "Hi!"); return 0; } The line of interest is (*). I guess the function foo is equivalent to: A foo(int k, const char* str){ return A(k, cstr); } However, is there a special name for this mechanism in (*)? Or is it just the simple fact that the compiler knows which constructor to call due to the return type? ...

Get current scroll position of ScrollView in React Native

-
Is it possible to get the current scroll position, or the current page of a <ScrollView> component in React Native? So something like: <ScrollView horizontal={true} pagingEnabled={true} onScrollAnimationEnd={() => { // get this scrollview's current page or x/y scroll position }}> this.state.data.map(function(e, i) { <ImageCt key={i}></ImageCt> }) </ScrollView> Try. <ScrollView onScroll={this.handleScroll} /> And then: handleScroll: function(event: Object) { console.log(event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y); }, Disclaimer: what follows is primarily the result of my own experimentation in React Native 0.50. The ScrollView documentation is currently missing a lot of the information covered below; for instance onScrollEndDrag is completely undocumented. Since everything here relies upon undocumented behaviour, I can unfortunately make no promises that this information will remain correct a ...

React Native - Image Cache

-
I read the document about the React Native image component in this site and got some questions: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/image.html If I use the source property to display image. Will the image be cached and save to disk after download? If yes, what is the cache policy? If I want to save the downloaded image to disk. Is it better to use getSize or prefetch method to do it? Many thanks. React native image component NSURLRequest's cache policy as described here. Personally I use RNFetchBlob to cache images as described here. You can also checkout this component. You may be interested in my higher order component module that adds performance related image caching and "permanent cache" functionality to the native <Image> component. React Native Image Cache HOC Tl;DR Code Example: import imageCacheHoc from 'react-native-image-cache-hoc'; const CacheableImage = imageCacheHoc(Image); export default class App ex...
