Wipe AsyncStorage in react native

Question

I notice that I am wasting a certain amount of time debugging redux actions that I am persisting to AsyncStorage in react-native thanks to redux-persist. Sometimes I'd just like to wipe AsyncStorage to save some development time and try with fresh data.

EDIT: Best case the solution should work on simulators and real devices, iOS and Android. Maybe there are different work arounds for different platforms.

Thanks

Answer 1

Try using clear() function which erases all AsyncStorage for all clients, libraries, etc

Answer 2

clearAsyncStorage = async() => {     AsyncStorage.clear(); } 

This function can be applied anywhere on the code base to clear AsyncStorage. For example, here is how it can be called on a <Button> component.

<Button onPress={this.clearAsyncStorage}>   <Text>Clear Async Storage</Text> </Button>
