Ionic’s Couchbase Lite integration is tailor-made for web developers, making it easy to build secure, high-performance, offline-enabled apps.
This premier integration supports apps built for iOS, Android, and native Windows.

Community-Edition-Only
Users of Community Edition can instead build their own native plugin on top of Couchbase Lite’s native API for iOS and Android. Ionic recommends use of Capacitor , which can be used independent of the application’s UI layer, to access native functionality from within Ionic apps. |
Accessing Couchbase Lite
Using a robust JavaScript API, you can access the entirety of Couchbase Lite’s functionality with no native experience required.
As a starting point, you should follow the hotel search tutorial.
The tutorial shows how to build an app that allows users to search and bookmark hotels.
It uses data loaded from a Couchbase Lite database — see the tutorial at
