We were giving this plugin hopeful glances, as IndexedDB performance in the official JS SDK is awful.

But it seems this is mostly a proof of concept?

No, it's fully working AFAIK. Login is handled using one of the firebase authentication plugins and the state is maintained and passed to this plugin by firebase internally. So, for example, using my cordova-plugin-firebaseui-auth plugin you can authenticate and then take advantage of the database rules.

@larssn Further to what I wrote, this talks about using Firebase Authentication in conjunction with Firestore.

Sounds good, we'll give it a go. 👍 Might fork it to update dependencies though. Firestore SDK is also up to 5.1.0.

edit: We missed the fact that there was no doc()/batch() support. :(
