I just published react-native-smart-cache, a lightweight yet powerful caching library for React Native. ๐ŸŽ‰
๐Ÿ”‘ What it does:
โœ… Cache API data, JSON, images, and media
โœ… Supports multiple storage backends (Memory, AsyncStorage, FileSystem)
โœ… Built-in TTL (time-to-live) for auto-expiry
โœ… Hooks like useCached and useCachedFetchJSON to simplify data fetching
โœ… Image caching with useCachedImage (no more redownloading avatars ๐Ÿš€)
โœ… Namespace support + easy cache invalidation
๐Ÿ’ก Why I built this:
In most RN projects, caching is a recurring challengeโ€Š-โ€Šdevelopers 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.).
๐Ÿ“ฆ NPM: react-native-smart-cache
