PouchDB not detecting sqlite plugin using cordova

Question

I recently used PouchDB to get an easy way of developing through mobile phone but it seems there's a bit problem when I'm trying to deploy it on a mobile phone. You see, our data will contain a huge amount so the only option here is to use sqlite plugin for database instead of websql or indexeddb. So I tried the example provided by the documentation and it worked pretty well. But when I console.log(pouch.adapter) it says "websql". I tried browsing for the database using eclipse but there was nothing there. How can I force pouchdb to use sqlite always? Thanks!

Tldr; tried deploying pouchDB with sqlite plugin but instead it used websql. trying to force pouchDB to use sqlite all the time.

Answer 1

I responded in the Google Groups, but basically db.adapter will report "websql" whether it's using WebSQL or the SQLite plugin. Kinda confusing, sorry about that!

Update: as of PouchDB 3.4.0, you can call db.info().then(console.log.bind(console)) and print out the database info, and it will report sqlite_plugin true or false. Makes debugging easier. :)
