Clear all project state on the device

ide

Sometimes (for development in particular) it's useful to clear all state on the device related to a project. This could be exposed either as a function or a button in the Expo UI somewhere.

This would be really useful for iOS. Android is designed well enough that you can do this yourself via the system menus.

Jay Simons

You'd think this would be a no-brainer

Im in the same boat, developing something that saves to localstorage on the web and SecureStore in the expo app, would be really useful to be able to clear it during development

+1. I am developing authentication, and I would like to be able to test the authentication flow, so I would like a button in the expo UI to clear the async storage.

Steve Moretz

Matthew Gaba: You don't actually need this for that.

Hebron Lorenzo

Steve Moretz: Then, how?

Steve Moretz

Hebron Lorenzo: AsyncStorage has a clear method, https://react-native-async-storage.github.io/async-storage/docs/api/#clear

This would be very useful. Surely there is a work around. Doesn't

expo start --clear

do this?

Steve Moretz

Ansh Nanda: Could you reference that argument in the docs? If --clear is short for -c then no, that just rebuilds the javascript bundle cache.

Mark Han

Steve Moretz: --clear only clears the Metro Bundle Cache

...

PLEASE add this! Any update on this?

This would be great for testing authentication, but especially to clear a fail state from the local storage (e.g. some value that stops react from initializing)

Mauro Garcia

Any news about this request?

Steve Moretz

I wished it was implemented by now.

Guille Acosta

Yeap, this would be really useful, in my case it would make easier work and test persist storage functionalities.
