react-native-default-preference

Use SharedPreference (Android) and UserDefaults (iOS) with React Native over a unified interface. All data are stored as String, in case more complex data structure is needed, serialize it (e.g. JSON)

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-default-preference --save

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link react-native-default-preference

Manual installation

iOS

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
2. Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-default-preference and add RNDefaultPreference.xcodeproj
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libRNDefaultPreference.a to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• Add import com.reactlibrary.RNDefaultPreferencePackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new RNDefaultPreferencePackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-default-preference'
   project(':react-native-default-preference').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-default-preference/android')
   

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

     compile project(':react-native-default-preference')
   

Usage

DefaultPreference.get('my key').then(function(value) {console.log(value)});
DefaultPreference.set('my key', 'my value').then(function() {console.log('done')});

API

function get(key:String):Promise<String>;
function set(key:String, value:String):Promise<Void>;
function clear(key:String):Promise<Void>;
function getMultiple(keys:Array<String>):Promise<Object>;
function setMultiple(data:Object):Promise<Void>;
function clearMultiple(keys:Array<String>):Promise<Void>;
function getAll():Promise<Object>;
function clearAll():Promise<Void>;

/** Gets and sets the current preferences file name (android) or user default suite name (ios) **/
function getName():Promise<String>;
function setName(name:String):Promise<Void>;

Cordova Native Storage Compatibility

This module is compatible with cordova-plugin-native-storage.

Android

You need to use the same SharedPreference as in the cordova plugin, to do so add the following line:

import { Platform } from 'react-native';
// ...
if (Platform.OS === 'android') DefaultPreference.setName('NativeStorage');

iOS

You don't need to change the name, as cordova-plugin-native-storage uses the default value.
