react-native-expo-image-cache VS react-native-image-cache

Checkout this: https://github.com/wcandillon/react-native-expo-image-cache and this issue where a fellow dev has made some improvements: https://github.com/wcandillon/react-native-expo-image-cache/issues/168

unfortunately it’s not compatible with expo. You could try out William’s module: https://github.com/wcandillon/react-native-expo-image-cache

To accomplish this task, we’ve chosen georstat/react-native-image-cache library.

I gave a try to smaller libs like georstat/react-native-image-cache but ran into some stability issues while attempting very simple use cases.

If you’re not caching images already and you’re in bare react-native then use this package for caching: https://github.com/georstat/react-native-image-cache , it’s lighter than FastImage. Disclaimer: I’m the author

Fast image can be a memory hogger in flatlists, you could try https://github.com/georstat/react-native-image-cache witch stores images in file system (i’m one of the authors).

Hi fellow devs, me and my colleagues after releasing react-native-image-cache we also released a simple image gallery with thumbnails preview. The module has 0 external dependencies so it can be used with expo. We're planning on creating a react-native-image-cache package for expo too, stay tuned :) .

I see you’re using 2 modules for image-caching, me and my colleagues have created a file system remote image caching module, in our cases react-native-fast-image was killing the device memory so we got inspiration from other modules and created: https://github.com/georstat/react-native-image-cache . It uses react-native-file-access witch is by far more stable than react-native-fs that you’re using and it supports almost the same stuff.

You could use this one: https://github.com/georstat/react-native-image-cache it supports custom animating placeholder, see the example.
