NEXT FOR CAPACITOR 3 🚧 (Master)

The refactor release has been upgraded to @capacitor/core@3.0.0-beta.1.

🚨 !!! ONLY iOS and Android plugins have been upgraded !!! 🚨

🚨 Since release 3.0.0-beta.11 ->> 🚨

• Checking of types has been removed in all methods of the plugin both iOS & Android. This has been achieved to allow the use of others RDBMS types. The type checking is now under the responsability of the developers.

• NULL values are now returned as null

• values for the query method is now an Array of any.

• option to disable transaction for the execute, executeSet, run.

🚨 Since release 3.0.0-beta.11 <<- 🚨

The test has been achieved on:

• a Ionic/Angular app

• a Ionic/React app

• a Ionic/Vue app

REFACTOR 🚀 (Move to branch 2.9.x)

The refactor offers now (since 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 on MacOs, !!! NOT ON WINDOWS !!!
• 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

• a Ionic/Vue app

Other frameworks will be tested later

• Stencil

@INITIAL 🛑 (Move to branch 2.4.x)

The 2.4.x is now 🛑 NOT MAINTAINED ANYMORE 🛑.

To install it

npm i --save @capacitor-community/sqlite@initial

The test has been achieved on:

• a Ionic/Angular app

• a Ionic/React app

• a Ionic/Vue app
