No.

React Native uses AsyncStorage as its main data persistence solution. It makes use of its setItem and getItem methods to store/retrieve data.

All methods of AsyncStorage (see complete list) are asynchronous, and need to be awaited to retrieve their values.

Example usage:

                
  import { AsyncStorage } from 'react-native';

  async componentDidMount() {
    const user = await AsyncStorage.getItem('user');
    this.setState({ currentUser: JSON.parse(user) });
  }

  storeUser = async (user) => {
    const userString = JSON.stringify(user);
    await AsyncStorage.setItem('user', userString);
    console.log('User succesfully saved.');
  }
            

Keep in mind that setItem will only allow values of type string, so make sure to JSON.stringify any objects that you want to store to AsyncStorage, and to JSON.parse any objects retrieved by getItem.
