WatermelonDB VS localForage

Storing the notes: For storing the notes, we will use the amazing WatermelonDB package which is a popular sqlite wrapper for react-native. Instead of using the default package we will use a fork of this that uses sqlcipher instead of the regular sqlite, allowing us to encrypt the database by passing a secret key.

Because most of the libraries I evaluated (RxDB, WatermelonDB) were entirely JS oriented, by design, none could provide a positive API surface in Native code.

never tried it but there is https://github.com/nozbe/WatermelonDB

As title says, is it a good option? There'll be like 60 webp images not some high quality. Or should I add some local db instead, something like: 1. https://github.com/ammarahm-ed/react-native-mmkv-storage 2. https://github.com/Nozbe/WatermelonDB

Watermelon DB.

Significantly improved performance (a lot of optimizations were done, and state management is more scalable by relying on an actual database)

Watermelondb it gives you an ORM, reactivity (when a records changes it cause UI re-render), and easy syncing with remote server, go with that if you don't know SQL that well.

Not really an answer but have you looked into https://github.com/localForage/localForage

I may not be pointing you in the right direction but, please read about [IndexDB storage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB\_API) method and packages like [localForage](https://localforage.github.io/localForage/) that use it under the hood.

LocalForage: this is a wrapper around IndexedDB, WebSQL, LocalStorage, and SessionStorage with a way to define more interfaces (called drivers) *for additional storage solutions. It does a great job handling all your serialization needs, it is **asynchronous **and handles a large set of data types. Its **API resembles Web Storage API* and it is ridiculously simple to learn.

Depending on what kind of storage requirements you have, LocalForage might be a good fit. It provides a unified API to access WebSQL, indexedDB or localStorage.

I find localForage is pretty helpful for this stuff https://github.com/localForage/localForage

localForage (https://localforage.github.io/localForage/) mirrors localStorage syntax, but uses IndexedDB in the background. If that's not supported, it uses WebSQL and then LocalStorage

This is why we have localForage.
