OfflineReactNative

An offline storage extension that records events in AsyncStorage when offline, and resyncs them when back online. The extension adds a timestamp to each saved extension under the timeSaved key.
Like all offline storage extensions, this extension expects that you're already storing a connectivity flag in your app's state.

Installation

npm install --save @redux-beacon/offline-react-native

Import

import OfflineReactNative from '@redux-beacon/offline-react-native';

Usage

Step 1

The first step is to track the connection status in your state. Here's an example of how you would do so using NetInfo:
import { NetInfo } from 'react-native';
const initialState = {
isConnected: true, // by default the app is assumed to have a connection
}
function reducer(state = initialState, action) {
switch (action.type) {
case 'UPDATE_CONNECTIVITY' {
return Object.assign({}, state, { isConnected: action.payload });
}
...
default:
return state;
}
}
// add event listeners to update the connectivity flag when the
// connection status changes
NetInfo.isConnected.addEventListener('change', (isConnected) => {
store.dispatch({
type: 'UPDATE_CONNECTIVITY',
payload: isConnected,
});
});

Step 2

Create a connectivity selector that accepts the state, and returns your app's connection status:
const isConnected = state => state.isConnected;
The connectivity selector should return a boolean:
  • true when the app is online
  • false when the app is offline

Step 3

Initialize the extension and provide it when creating the middleware:
import { AsyncStorage } from 'react-native';
import offlineReactNative from '@redux-beacon/offline-react-native';
// Pass the connectivity selector from Step 2 as the second parameter
const offlineStorage = offlineReactNative(AsyncStorage, isConnected);
// Create or import an events map and target.
// See "getting started" pages for instructions.
const middleware = createMiddleware(eventsMap, target, { offlineStorage });
Now, whenever your app loses connection, your analytics events will now be saved offline until it regains its connection.
