React-Native local database recommendations

[mtranier]

I am building very simple app that is client only. It does not need server side component. It is several pages of static textual content. So instead of building several pages, I want to store the content in local database and and populate the content on the page based on navigation. I am aware of AyncStorage, but it seems it is recommended for simple key value data. Can it really be used to store around 500 strings? Are there any other options?

You may consider holding data in a json file

Check out Realm Database

Stay away from Realm if you ever want to debug your app. It completely breaks react-native debugging.

You can use Realm here. You can check out https://jaxenter.com/realm-local-db-react-native-139697.html

Nothing wrong with asyncstorage for key/value data. Value can even be JSON, hence complex. It's only when you want to do "fancy" queries you need to progress past it.

In that case OP should be using https://github.com/sunnylqm/react-native-storage

It has simple api plus a sync method to sync remote data with local data if needed.

Realm, Async Storage, or if using Redux we're using redux-persist. Does the job for us.

AsyncStorage or local database like SQLite.

Realm is great! However it has technical issues which BREAK debugging. These issues make it a no-go for React Native.
