Couchbase Lite for Browsers

[Brad Gronek]

Are there any plans for a Couchbase Lite for Browsers version that essentially officially carries over the wonderful PouchDB library to the Couchbase world?

I am doing some initial investigations here, especially around what parts of the codebase would make sense to share with PouchDB, level-down, etc. No official plans but if we do build something the goal would be to have an API the same as Couchbase Lite on other platforms. 

So far all I've done is an initial test suite scaffold, generated from our API spec, but as soon as we have an implementation that's useful we'll open the repo.

Hey J. Chris,

We also happily accept pull requests, and for stuff that might not make sense for core, we have a pretty decent plugin API too. :)

Cheers,

{ "soapbox" : "As someone who completely depends both on PouchDB and CouchBase Lite, please, please, please, just make CouchBase Lite work with PouchDB as-is. The world desperately needs compatibility and making PouchDB 'just work' with CouchBase Lite would be a mitzvah. Right now our life is a mine field of incompatibilities that has reduced us to using CouchBase Lite just for local replication and almost nothing else. :(

I understand the logic behind still wanting the CouchBase lite API running in Javascript. But please just implement that on top of PouchDB. I know you know Nolan and friends really well but I can second from personal experience that the PouchDB team in general is super open to good ideas and happily willing to take PRs.

Standard protocols are what make for powerful communities. It's what enables us to leave our proprietary, closed off, limited corners and create a rich world where awesome things happen. When it comes to exchanging structured data we live in this bizarre retread of the world before the web where our data is locked behind proprietary and/or incompatible protocols. We desperately need an agreed upon standard for rich data exchange. CouchDB can be that standard. And CouchBase Lite is really close to actually implementing that standard. If we can just close that gap (which running on PouchDB would do, have you seen their awesome test suite? [1]) we could unleash enormous creativity!",
