re-opening this so that people can +1 / subscribe to this for updates

While this is not supported out of the box, is there any way for me build a local storage layer myself and integrate with stream-chat-react-native?

Any timeline on when official support would be available?

[vishalnarkhede]

Offline support has been moved to Q2!!

[aleplusplus]

Any update on this?

[madsroskar]

Just an update here, we're planning to include offline support in version 4.0.0, which we expect to release by the end of the month. 🙂

Update: this feature is currently in the making and will be available in alpha prod in a few weeks.
Stay tuned for more info.

+1 are you all still planning on a Q2 launch of caching messages and images in the client (offline mode)? Loading channels / messages in a channel / images on slower phone internet connections is quite painful. Thanks in advance! Happy to test a pre-release if available 😄

I assume you’re using MMKV given the recent sponsorship? 😎

[vishalnarkhede]

@nandorojo we are going to leave it for users to make a choice on storage library ... mmkv or async-storage or anything else which supports simple get-set key value storage :)

This is exactly what I'm hoping for 💯 nice work!

Hey guys!! So due to some technical limitations we had to abandon our development around offline caching layer on RN for stream chat. But we still have plenty of good performance fixes in v4.0.0. And we will plan on implementing offline database support soon.

Hey @EJohnF,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Currently we don't have offline support OOTB. Its currently in pipeline, and will be available in future, although I can't really give any timeline about it.

[virdesai]

we're working to make this happen sometime in Q1

[nandorojo]

Is this planned with AsyncStorage?

[nandorojo]

That’s amazing news!

Really looking forward to 4.0.0 🎉 Any update on release date? A beta branch we can test? Thanks!

@vishalnarkhede
Thank you for the update! Any info on the approx. release date for the offline database support? Will it include encryption?

[buneme]

Hello @vishalnarkhede, are there any updates on this? And are there any possible work around that we could use in the meantime?

Are there any updates for offline support?

[vishalnarkhede]

Hey guys, we don't have any solid update on this one yet. But we are re-picking this epic now so probably in a month or so we will have some specific timeline and plan for it.

[RRaideRR]

Just checking in a month later: what's the timeline or plan for it?

[andreibarabas]

[andreibarabas]
