A React Native library for downloading large files in both foreground and background on iOS and Android.
What is react-native-background-downloader?
react-native-background-downloader is a React Native library that facilitates downloading large files on iOS and Android, supporting both foreground and background operations. It solves the challenge of maintaining download progress and completion when an app is backgrounded or terminated by using system APIs to handle downloads separately. The library provides tools to re-attach to ongoing downloads after app restarts, ensuring no data is lost.
React Native developers building apps that require reliable downloading of large files, such as media players, document viewers, or offline content managers, where downloads must persist across app sessions.
Developers choose this library for its robust background download support, which is essential for apps that handle large files and need to maintain download continuity. It offers a simple API that abstracts complex system-level download management, reducing development time and improving reliability compared to basic download solutions.
