Is this library working with Electron? #357

Is this library working with Electron, What I mean by that is when I have a server-side (Node) code that saves data to the DB, will it be saved in the Electron window IndexedDB?

No. You could in theory serialize IndexedDB stored on the client or server (whether native IndexedDB in Electron or IndexedDBShim on Node), such as IndexedDBShim does internally (i.e., use encode in the file src/Sca.js which uses typeson-registry with the structured cloning preset to produce a JSON serialization) and then optionally diff the current serialization against the one known to be on the client or server (e.g., by using JSON Patch) and then send the diff or whole JSON serialization from client to server or vice versa, parse it back into JavaScript objects, (as with decode in src/Sca.js), and then replace the store or part of the store with the parsed result.

However, IndexedDBShim doesn't provide any utilities to do such transmission or syncing between client/server.

Closing as that essentially answers it, but feel free to comment further as needed.
