AsyncStorage

AsyncStorage is a simple, asynchronous, persistent, global, key-value storage system. 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.

This JS code is a simple facad over the native iOS implementation to provide a clear JS API, real Error objects, and simple non-multi functions.

Methods #

static getItem(key: string, callback: (error: ?Error, result: ?string) => void) #

Fetches key and passes the result to callback, along with an Error if there is any.

static setItem(key: string, value: string, callback: ?(error: ?Error) => void) #

Sets value for key and calls callback on completion, along with an Error if there is any.

static removeItem(key: string, callback: ?(error: ?Error) => void) #

static mergeItem(key: string, value: string, callback: ?(error: ?Error) => void) #

Merges existing value with input value, assuming they are stringified json.

Not supported by all native implementations.

static clear(callback: ?(error: ?Error) => void) #

Erases all AsyncStorage for all clients, libraries, etc. You probably don't want to call this - use removeItem or multiRemove to clear only your own keys instead.

static getAllKeys(callback: (error: ?Error) => void) #

Gets all keys known to the system, for all callers, libraries, etc.

static multiGet(keys: Array<string>, callback: (errors: ?Array<Error>, result: ?Array<Array<string>>) => void) #

multiGet invokes callback with an array of key-value pair arrays that matches the input format of multiSet.

multiGet(['k1', 'k2'], cb) -> cb([['k1', 'val1'], ['k2', 'val2']])

static multiSet(keyValuePairs: Array<Array<string>>, callback: ?(errors: ?Array<Error>) => void) #

multiSet and multiMerge take arrays of key-value array pairs that match the output of multiGet, e.g.

multiSet([['k1', 'val1'], ['k2', 'val2']], cb);

static multiRemove(keys: Array<string>, callback: ?(errors: ?Array<Error>) => void) #

Delete all the keys in the keys array.

static multiMerge(keyValuePairs: Array<Array<string>>, callback: ?(errors: ?Array<Error>) => void) #

Merges existing values with input values, assuming they are stringified json.
