Ionic offers a fully supported Offline Storage Plugin that is powered by Couchbase Lite Enterprise Edition. The plugin exposes a JavaScript API that has full feature-parity with the underlying native API layer. The Ionic native plugin leverages the Cordova plugin to access Couchbase Lite’s native functionality on iOS and Android. This means that with Ionic’s native plugin, you can build hybrid apps using Cordova/PhoneGap for iOS and Android platforms. If you do not have access to the plugin, please contact your Accounts team.

You can also build your own Cordova plugin on top of Couchbase Lite’s native API for iOS and Android. We have a couple of tutorials that describe how you can build your own plugin for Android and iOS respectively. You can use the samples as a starting point and expand it to suit your application requirements. As described in the tutorials, it is recommended that your plugin implements a subset of native APIs that is relevant to your application.
