Is is possible to use something like PouchDB as the storage layer #90

Hi, I am looking for an offline app solution for both desktop and mobile, and it seems GroundMeteor is the best choice. But I am really concerned with the localStorage's 5MB quota, because I am going to store something larger than 5MB. On the other side, I tried another database named PouchDB(http://pouchdb.com/), it works great. As it advertised: PouchDB supports all modern browsers, using IndexedDB under the hood and falling back to WebSQL where IndexedDB isn't supported.

I can also use PouchDB with SQLite plugin for cordova, then there will be "no" size limitation. Besides that, there is a plugin for PouchDB named Crypto Pouch which I can used for encrypting the database.

So I am thinking whether we can make a wrapper to make PouchDB act as a localStorage, and then we can get rid of the size quota issue. Or maybe there are other solution to solve it?

Any idea? thanks in advance.

We just need to add extra storage adapters to ground:store - I've been looking / reading a lot of code to find a nice library to use - but they all lack some features needed in ground db - why ground:store exists.

To add support for indexedDB etc. we just need to write a storage adapter for it. With same api as: https://github.com/GroundMeteor/localstorage - it should then plug right in with ground:store and ground:db

hi, thanks for your reply. Do you have any plan to add any extra storage adapter to get rid of the quota problem of localStorage?
