Storage

While crafting your application, you'll inevitably encounter scenarios where local data storage becomes essential. In our boilerplate, we've seamlessly integrated the capability to store data locally. For instance, we utilize this feature to remember the user's chosen theme variant. This means that when a user opens the app, explores its features, switches themes, closes the app, and returns later, their preferred theme remains consistent, just as they left it.

This nifty functionality is made possible through the power of the react native mmkv library, ensuring a seamless and personalized user experience.

Setup

By default, the boilerplate comes with storage already configured, saving you time and effort. However, if you ever need to fine-tune your storage settings to better suit your project's requirements, rest assured that it's a breeze to do so.

Simply navigate to the src/App.tsx file, where you'll find the storage configuration. By default, we've set it up to use the default storage, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience from the get-go.

import { MMKV } from 'react-native-mmkv';

export const storage = new MMKV(
    // You can change the storage configuration here
);

Theme Provider Example

In our boilerplate, we take care of storing the selected theme variant directly on the user's device. As you may already know, our ThemeProvider component is responsible for generating themes, making it the ideal place to manage theme variants.

We've simplified the process with just two straightforward methods:

// To store the theme variant
storage.set('theme', 'default');

// To retrieve the theme variant
storage.getString('theme');
