Usage

getOrCache

Saves the file from the given URI or retrieves the cached file content if already present. Note that the key must be unique, otherwise files will be overwritten with different content.

import {FileCacheManager} from '@meecode/expo-cached-remote-files'

  FileCacheManager
    .getOrCache(`https://xyz.test.at/api/v1/faqs?language=${i18n.locale}`, `faq-${i18n.locale}`)
    .then((response: any) => {
        if (response) {
           //TODO: implement
        } else {
            console.error('Response is empty', response);
        }
    });
