What Is Asyncstorage

AsyncStorage is an unencrypted, asynchronous, persistent, key-value storage system that is global to the app. It should be used instead of LocalStorage. It is recommended that you use an abstraction on top of AsyncStorage instead of AsyncStorage directly for anything more than light usage since it operates globally.

What is the use of AsyncStorage in React Native?

AsyncStorage is a simple, asynchronous, unencrypted by default module that allows you to persist data offline in React Native apps. The persistence of data is done in a key-value storage system.

How do I get items from AsyncStorage?

  1. let user = await AsyncStorage. getItem(‘user’);
  2. let parsed = JSON. parse(user);
  3. alert(parsed. email);
