## README

# expo-asset

An Expo universal module to download assets and pass them into other APIs

# API documentation

- [Documentation for the latest stable release](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/asset/)
- [Documentation for the main branch](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/unversioned/sdk/asset/)

# Installation in managed Expo projects

For [managed](https://docs.expo.dev/archive/managed-vs-bare/) Expo projects, please follow the installation instructions in the [API documentation for the latest stable release](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/asset/). If you follow the link and there is no documentation available then this library is not yet usable within managed projects — it is likely to be included in an upcoming Expo SDK release.

# Installation in bare React Native projects

For bare React Native projects, you must ensure that you have [installed and configured the `expo` package](https://docs.expo.dev/bare/installing-expo-modules/) before continuing.

### Add the package to your npm dependencies

```
npx expo install expo-asset
```
