React Native Smart Caching Library to Optimize Offline Performance

Excited to share something I’ve been working on for the React Native community!

I just published react-native-smart-cache, a lightweight yet powerful caching library for React Native.

URL: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-smart-cache

What it does:

✅ Cache API data, JSON, images, Videos 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
✅ Video caching with useCachedVideo
✅ 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
