Important Change

⚠️ Migrating from rn-downloader to rn-file-toolkit

The rn-downloader package has been rebranded to rn-file-toolkit. This new version is fully compatible but includes significant upgrades like a complete Filesystem API, Zip/Unzip support, and managed queues.

👉 NPM package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/rn-file-toolkit

Migration Guide

To migrate to the new package, follow these steps:

1. Uninstall the old package

npm uninstall rn-downloader
# or
yarn remove rn-downloader

2. Install the new package

npm install rn-file-toolkit
# or
yarn add rn-file-toolkit

3. Update your imports

Simply replace all occurrences of rn-downloader with rn-file-toolkit in your code:

- import { download } from 'rn-downloader';
+ import { download } from 'rn-file-toolkit';

Why the change?

As the library grew, it became much more than just a downloader. It now supports:

• 📂 Full File System APIs (ls, stat, mkdir, readFile, writeFile, etc.)
• 📤 Multipart Uploads
• 🏗️ Managed Download Queues (cap concurrency and set priorities)
• 🔗 Base64 & Data URI conversions
• 📤 Native Sharing & File Opening
• 📦 Native Zip & Unzip (with zero third-party dependencies)

If you have any issues during migration, please open an issue on the new GitHub repository.
