REFACTOR

The refactor offers now (2.9.0-beta.1) all the features that the previous was offering. It has been a quite heavy process, hoping that the developpers will take benefit from it.

The main reasons for it:

• multiple database connections
• db connector allowing for easy commands db.open(), db.close, ...
• improve the response time of the encrypted database by removing the internal open and close database for each sqlite query
• moving to the latest androidx.sqlite.db.xxx
• offering encryption for Electron platform by using @journeyapps/sqlcipher
• cleaning and aligning the code between platforms
• allowing developers to develop typeorm or spatialite drivers.

This was discussed lengthly in issue#1 and issue#52

Refactor available for Android, iOS and Electron platforms.

The test has been achieved on:

• a Ionic/Angular app

• a Ionic/React app

Other frameworks will be tested later

• Ionic/Vue will require an update of the vue-sqlite-hook.
• Stencil

Browser Support

The plugin follows the guidelines from the Capacitor Team,

• Capacitor Browser Support

meaning that it will not work in IE11 without additional JavaScript transformations, e.g. with Babel.
