Using PouchDB with a REST API ?

[Clément Prévost]

Hi,

I was looking for an offline local database that sync when possible and I just landed on the PouchDB homepage. I love it, it's really awesome, but I don't know if it fits all my requirements.

My problem is simple: I already have a nice REST API built with Apigility and I don't want to throw it all away.

Will I be able to use PouchDB and make it sync with a REST API ?

Requirements:

- [x] Offline mobile storage

- [x] Automated sync

- [?] Integration with an existing REST API

Thanks !

That wont work unfortunately, PouchDB requires some specific functionality from the server that cant be provided from a generic rest api.

There is a library around I remember seeing that does straight caching of REST api calls, although that itself isnt complicated to implement, to get sync working pouch/couchdb is really needed, or some application specific prefetching

Thanks
Dale

You might be able to do this if you build an adapter with local.js http://www.httplocal.com/
