Offline images in ionic

I am working on offline images in ionic apps. The concept is when i use pull to refresh.It will retrieve images from live site and store in local for offline images.

I guess someone had the same question.

There is no tutorial for that.Only they suggest the ng-cordova file plugin.

On the official ngCordova website you can find a small documentation of how you work with that plugin:

http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/fileTransfer/

Another solution is once you’ve downloaded the image, you can store it as a base64 string using local storage.

bumping old thread, is the filetransfer plugin still recommended practice, is there a link on specifying save locations, what path is recommended and what are the options

base64 in cordova-sql-lite sounds interesting but i feel like performance woudl be slower than just having them locally accessabile as files…
