PouchDB 5.3.1 adapter for Ember Data 2.5.0

This Ember-Data adapter allows an Ember.js app with Ember-Data model layer to store its data in PouchDB databases.

PouchDB makes it possible to synchronize the data with CouchDB and keep the data on the client-side persistently, i.e. surviving browser refreshes and restarts. PouchDB automatically detects available backends on the client, e.g. IndexedDB, WebSQL or even LocalStorage and more.

This adapter will sideload non-async records and push them to the store. It is not recommended to use syncroneus relationships though, just let the store decide when to fetch the data asynchronously. This feature will be dropped, when there are no syncronous relationships in Ember-Data anymore, as it is clumpy and slow.

Usage

Create a new adapter (e.g. ember g adapter application):

import {Adapter as PouchDBAdapter} from 'ember-pouchdb-adapter';
import Ember from 'ember';

export default PouchDBAdapter.extend({
  databaseName: "my-local-db"
});

The models should define the properties id and rev as strings, at least.

Future Plans

• Support interoperability between many pouchdb databases and records in different adapters having the PouchDB serializer
• add batch save (when Ember-Data supports it)

Running Tests

• npm test (Runs ember try:testall to test your addon against multiple Ember versions)
• ember test
• ember test --server
