Amplify DataStore in a chrome extension #7165

API, DataStore

Amplify CLI Version

Amplify, AppSync, Cognito, DynamoDb

Provide additional details e.g. code snippets

I've been trying to use the DataStore component for online/offline sync in a chrome extension. However it looks like DataStore only comes with support for IndexedDB and chrome extensions don't have access to IndexedDB. You'd have to solve it with a content script and that solution seems like a bit of a hack. Are there any other options that you can see? Is it worth writing an adapter to use LocalStorage (perhaps with localForage) instead of IndexedDB?
