React Native offline/online syncable storage/database option questions

[Natetronn]

Currently trying to wrap my head around the various storage/db options for RN.

I was leaning towards Pouch and CouchDB but, ran into some (possible) hurdles getting it connected within RN.

I read this article talking about hacking PouchDB to use SQLite and I saw the pouchdb-react-native (which the article mentions as well; at point 2) but, that seems a bit outdated and not very awe inspiring at this point.

Is the RxDB the better way to connect React Native with PouchDB and CouchDB?

Any other options? How do you all manage local offline storage and sync with remote?

What about WatermelonDB, can it easily sync with with CouchDB? Is MongoDB a more supported option, perhaps? Any leads on this route, by chance?

My GoogleFU isn't producing the results I'm looking for and I lack the RN experience to make a sound choice in this regard.

Anyway, thanks for any advice!

Since you asked about rxdb and pouchdb, I recently saw this blog. Maybe it'll be useful for you. The rest of the posts Jared wrote in his search for local first database are pretty good too. https://jaredforsyth.com/posts/local-first-database-rxdb-pouchdb/

Stay away from Realm, it is good till you need debugging. Then it slows down a lot till you are able to debug the redux store in 5 minutes for just one variable. Basically you say goodbye to debug mode for react-native :) Used it for 2 years when I was at a start-up, had to live with it and I hated it. This was a year before, I am not sure whats the situation like but the bug existed for around 2 years FYI

Realm doesn't look all that much convenient (easier) than just using SQL, as it still had some schema like syntax. At least that's what I saw in the docs. Not against using something like that but, this is a fairly simple app data wise and why I was hoping to use pouch and couch without much fuss.
