      Description — Couchbase Lite Database Sync - Synchronize changes between databases on the same device

      Overview

      Couchbase Lite supports replication between two local databases at the database, scope, or collection level. This allows a Couchbase Lite replicator to store data on secondary storage. It is useful in scenarios when a user’s device is damaged and its data is moved to a different device.

      Example 1. Replication between Local Databases
      let targetDatabase = DatabaseEndpoint(database: database2)
      var config = ReplicatorConfiguration(target: targetDatabase)
      
      guard let collection1 = try database.collection(name: "collection1", scope: "scope1") else { return }
      config.addCollection(collection1)
      config.replicatorType = .push
      
      self.replicator = Replicator(config: config)
      self.replicator.start()
