To install:

npm install --save @capacitor-community/sqlite
npx cap sync

yarn add @capacitor-community/sqlite
npx cap sync

pnpm install --save @capacitor-community/sqlite
pnpm install --save jeep-sqlite
pnpm install --save sql.js
npx cap sync

then add plugin to main capacitor.config.ts file:

import { CapacitorConfig } from '@capacitor/cli';

const config: CapacitorConfig = {
  appId: 'com.jeep.app.ionic7.angular.sqlite',
  appName: 'ionic7-angular-sqlite-starter',
  webDir: 'www',
  server: {
    androidScheme: 'https'
  },
  plugins: {
    CapacitorSQLite: {
      iosDatabaseLocation: 'Library/CapacitorDatabase',
      iosIsEncryption: true,
      iosKeychainPrefix: 'angular-sqlite-app-starter',
      iosBiometric: {
        biometricAuth: false,
        biometricTitle : "Biometric login for capacitor sqlite"
      },
      androidIsEncryption: true,
      androidBiometric: {
        biometricAuth : false,
        biometricTitle : "Biometric login for capacitor sqlite",
        biometricSubTitle : "Log in using your biometric"
      },
      electronIsEncryption: true,
      electronWindowsLocation: "C:\\ProgramData\\CapacitorDatabases",
      electronMacLocation: "/Volumes/Development_Lacie/Development/Databases",

export default config;

Web Quirks

The plugin follows the guidelines from the Capacitor Team,

• Capacitor Browser Support

Meaning that it will not work in IE11 without additional JavaScript transformations, e.g. with Babel. You'll need the usual capacitor/android/react npm script to build and copy the assets folder.

For Angular framework

• Copy manually the file sql-wasm.wasm from node_modules/sql.js/dist/sql-wasm.wasm to the src/assets folder of YOUR_APP

For Vue & React frameworks

• Copy manually the file sql-wasm.wasm from node_modules/sql.js/dist/sql-wasm.wasm to the public/assets folder of YOUR_APP

Android Quirks

• In case you get the following error when building your app in Android Studio: x files found with path 'build-data.properties'. You can you add the following code to app/build.gradle:

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'build-data.properties'
    }

See #301 and SO question for more information.

• Check/Add the following: Gradle JDK version 17 Android Gradle Plugin Version 8.0.0 In variables.gradle

  minSdkVersion = 22
  compileSdkVersion = 33
  targetSdkVersion = 33
  

  In AndroidManifest.xml

      <application
        android:allowBackup="false"
        android:fullBackupContent="false"
        android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/data_extraction_rules"
  

  In res/xml create a file data_extraction_rules.xml containing:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <data-extraction-rules>
      <cloud-backup>
        <exclude domain="root" />
        <exclude domain="database" />
        <exclude domain="sharedpref" />
        <exclude domain="external" />
      </cloud-backup>
      <device-transfer>
        <exclude domain="root" />
        <exclude domain="database" />
        <exclude domain="sharedpref" />
        <exclude domain="external" />
      </device-transfer>
  </data-extraction-rules>
  

Electron Quirks

• On Electron, go to the Electron folder of YOUR_APPLICATION

cd electron
npm install --save better-sqlite3-multiple-ciphers
npm install --save electron-json-storage
npm install --save jszip
npm install --save node-fetch@2.6.7
npm install --save crypto
npm install --save crypto-js
npm install --save-dev @types/better-sqlite3
npm install --save-dev @types/electron-json-storage
npm install --save-dev @types/crypto-js

• Important: node-fetch version must be <=2.6.7; otherwise you'll get an error running the app.

• Important: if you are using @capacitor-community/electron v5

  • you have to stick to Electron@25.8.4 till further notice so do:

npm install --save-dev electron@25.8.4
npm uninstall --save-dev electron-rebuild
npm install --save-dev @electron/rebuild
npm install --save-dev electron-builder@24.6.4

• in electron folder open the tsconfig.json file and add "skipLibCheck": true,

• on iOS, no further steps needed.

Dependencies

The iOS and Android codes are using SQLCipher allowing for database encryption. The iOS codes is using ZIPFoundation for unzipping assets files The Electron code is using better-sqlite3-multiple-ciphers , electron-json-storage and node-fetch from 5.0.4. The Web code is using the Stencil component jeep-sqlite based on sql.js, localforage. and jszip
