Couchbase for electron desktop apps

[Femi Matthew]

I'm a newbie in this, so pardon me if I'm wrong. How can I use couchbase mobile for electron desktop apps. I saw a post by nic raboy where he use pouchdb instead. Is there a way to use couchbase mobile not pouchdb for electron desktop apps

Thanks in anticipation

PouchDB is pure JS, while Couchbase Lite is implemented in native code with an internal REST API that JS can call. So getting CBL to run in a container like Electron requires some work at the native-code level, like writing a plugin, that will load and initialize it in the process. I don’t know whether or not anyone has created such a plugin.
