Ionic and database

Hello everyone,
hope you are good,

So I have a little project, to create an application multi platform for browers, android and IOS
in this project we have user : he registers to application, login and sharing picture with other Users

my question, witch database I should use ? us we must know this application can used in offline, and when the user is online they upload modification

I started with firebase but I’m not sure if It possible or not

Thank you for answering

Cheers

The new firestore database from firebase has offline support built in. If you want to use the realtime database you can use angularfire2-offline for offline support. If you need help getting started using firebase in ionic, take a look at the javebratt.com blog by @javebratt.

If you’re looking for an alternative to firebase, joshmorony.com by @joshmorony has some great articles on using PouchDB and CouchDB (and superlogin), which should also work for your needs.

Hope that helps.
Cheers

Hi

I have build a manual solution for offline/online storage, as I wanted the offline db to be in sqlite, which I believe is not enforced (or not clear to me) on Angularfire2offline/firestore

Basically, online is a Angularfire provider and the Storage ionic provider for offline.

Suited my needs, but not necessarily universal as the syncing is quite rude (no version checking etc, just plain overwrite)
