capacitor-device-memory

A simple Capacitor plugin to retrieve system memory info on Android and iOS.

✨ Features

• ✅ Android: Returns total and available memory (via /proc/meminfo)
• ✅ iOS: Returns total memory only (as Apple restricts available memory access)
• ⚡ Fully compatible with Capacitor 6+

📦 Installation

npm install capacitor-device-memory
npx cap sync

🛠 Usage

import { DeviceMemory } from 'capacitor-device-memory';

const memory = await DeviceMemory.getMemoryInfo();

console.log(`Total: ${memory.totalMem} KB`);
console.log(`Available: ${memory.availableMem} KB`);

ℹ️ Values are returned in kilobytes (KB) for consistency with /proc/meminfo.

🔍 API

getMemoryInfo()

Returns:

interface MemoryInfo {
  totalMem: number;       // Total physical memory in KB
  availableMem: number;   // Available memory in KB (0 on iOS)
}
