Summary

The new release of Couchbase Lite for Ionic Capacitor 1.0 enables developers to build modern hybrid apps that can seamlessly work offline and sync smoothly online, using the web technologies they already know. This release addresses key outstanding issues and builds on Couchbase Lite 3.2.2, making it easier to bring database power to Ionic apps. When combined with Ionic Capacitor, developers unlock cross-platform app development with local persistence, sync capabilities, and full offline-first functionality. The pairing is ideal for a wide range of use cases, including field service tools, inventory systems, and mobile point-of-sale apps. Developers can provide instant responsiveness and a consistent experience regardless of the network state. The plugin also supports bi-directional data replication with Couchbase Capella or Couchbase Sync Gateway over WebSockets, enabling applications to continue working even in remote or low-connectivity environments.
