I am still new in the React Native world, and generally in the mobile/native world as well, and I am finding the documentation a bit lacking when it comes to data persistence.
What are my options for storing data in React Native and the implications of each type? For instance, I see that there is local storage and async storage, but then I also see things like Realm, and I'm confused how all of this would work with an outside database.
I specifically want to know:
- What are the different options for data persistence?
- For each, what are the limits of that persistence (i.e., when is the data no longer available)? For example: when closing the application, restarting the phone, etc.
- For each, are there differences (other than general setup) between implementing in iOS vs Android?
- How do the options compare for accessing data offline? (or how is offline access typically handled?)
- Are there any other considerations I should keep in mind?
Thanks for your help!
