Realm is a mobile database that runs directly inside phones, tablets or wearables. This project hosts the JavaScript versions of Realm. Currently we only support React Native (both iOS & Android) and Node.js (on MacOS and Linux) but we are considering adding support for Cordova/PhoneGap/Ionic as well.
Please see the detailed instructions in our docs to use Realm Javascript.
The documentation can be found at realm.io/docs/javascript/latest.
The API reference is located at realm.io/docs/javscript/latest/api.
In case you don't want to use the precompiled version on npm, you can build Realm yourself from source. You’ll need an Internet connection the first time you build in order to download the core library.
