Storing database json file in optimal way for react native app

I’m using react native, redux and firebase and I have a 1 MB database export that contains food nutritional information from the Canadian Nutrition File database.

This data will never change and is used in a FlatList users can search and import from.

What’s the optimal way for me to store this for my users to access as fast as possible when searching?

I am thinking of simply including the json file with my other source files and calling it from there using require.

But since I have firebase and redux all setup I wondered if it made more sense for whatever reason to consider those options instead.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Since you are already using redux, i'd go for adding the json content to the store on app init/mount so you can get it easily from everywhere.

Another options i'd consider:

  1. Import, parse & render the JSON file stactically on runtime (as it never changes);
  2. Use the AsyncStorage to make it available in local database but outsite the redux store thing.
