Switch to @react-native-community/async-storage.

[bengtan]

Importing AsyncStorage from react-native is deprecated. This is the replacement.

Please test this yourself before merging. I didn't test it because I don't know how to test a react native component in isolation.

Hey @bengtan

I need some additional support here before I can merge this in. AsyncStorage is bundled with RN via Expo still and the community repo requires linking which we can't do in ejected apps. I'm not sure if there's a way to support both expo and ejected applications...this is a bit above my skill level.

[bengtan]

Uh, sorry, I don't know anything about expo. I've heard of it, but I've not tried using it.

If this is too troublesome, feel free to postpone it indefinitely.

How is it going with this? I want to use this package in RN web project

[arronhunt]

@jeppan875 I just added this to the v1.0.0 roadmap (#49). This will be an optional feature that will require linking for some projects.

FWIW, Expo recommends @react-native-async-storage/async-storage for a non-deprecated alternative. That library doesn't require any additional linking.
