I just published react-native-smart-cache, a lightweight yet powerful caching library for React Native. 🎉
🔑 What it does:
✅ Cache API data, JSON, images, and media
✅ Supports multiple storage backends (Memory, AsyncStorage, FileSystem)
✅ Built-in TTL (time-to-live) for auto-expiry
✅ Hooks like useCached and useCachedFetchJSON to simplify data fetching
✅ Image caching with useCachedImage (no more redownloading avatars 🚀)
✅ Namespace support + easy cache invalidation
💡 Why I built this:
In most RN projects, caching is a recurring challenge - developers either write boilerplate logic or use multiple libraries for APIs, AsyncStorage, and images.
With react-native-smart-cache, I wanted to provide a single, consistent solution that's easy to integrate and powerful enough for real-world apps (offline-first, e-commerce, social, etc.).
📦 NPM: react-native-smart-cache
