Does calling AsyncStorage multiple time in a react native app impacts performance?

Question

I am building a React Native app which requires calling AsyncStorage multiple times in different components.

For example a particular screen can only be opened in web if the user is logged in, which requires checking the local storage.

Callings AsyncStorage every time doesn’t seem like a good idea and might impact performance as the application grows.

Is implementing redux the best option or is there any other way?

Answer 1

Yes, if you rely on saving too many records. You can however optimize it by using redux persist or using in-memory cache.
