Kinvey React-native SDK

Modified/ adapted from kinvey-html5-sdk, which consumes the kinvey-js-sdk. This repo was created to implement a different Cache Middleware, which utilizes AsyncStorage instead of LocalStorage for its caching store.

Documentation

Refer to the kinvey-html5-sdk Guides for API usage.

ActiveUser management

One drawback of using this SDK is managing the ActiveUser. The kinvey-js-sdk utilizes fast-memory-cache to store the active user, which is cleared when the app is hard-closed. To mitigate this, the App must use AsyncStorage outside of the SDK to store the ActiveUser. There are two places you will have to write custom the logic for this:

1. Get Active User

Upon loading the app, check AsyncStorage for the ActiveUser key.
If present, set in the Kinvey client. Kinvey.client.setActiveUser(data).
Fetch ActiveUser from Kinvey. Kinvey.User.getActiveUser will return as expected, and the SDK will have its reference in MemoryCache for the remainder of the current app lifecucle.

2. Log Out

Log out using the SDK
Delete ActiveUser key in AsyncStorage

Roadmap

This repo needs tests. We plan on bringing in the root testing and test suite from the html5-sdk, and modifying appropriately
