- Cordova SQLite storage plugin or Cordova SQLite Plugin 2 or Cordova SQLCipher adapter plugin
- localForage v1.5.0+
- for localforage 1.4.x, please use the v1.5.0 release of this package
- for even older versions of localforage, please use the v1.2.x releases
Install Dependencies
- install Cordova-sqlite-storage plugin
cordova plugin add https://github.com/litehelpers/Cordova-sqlite-storage.git
- install localForage-cordovaSQLiteDriver via npm with:
npm i --save localforage localforage-cordovasqlitedriver
(ionic 2 users might prefer ths one)
Cordova-sqlcipher-adapter support
install the plugin by
cordova plugin add cordova-sqlcipher-adapter --save
Pass the key required by the database to localforage by passing a dbKey
property to the .config()
or .createInstance()

via IonicStorageModule in your NgModule.
CHANGELOG
v1.8
Add support for the localforage.dropInstance()
method.
v1.7
Add support for cordova-sqlcipher-adapter. Thanks to @kohlia for PRing this.
v1.6
Use localforage v1.5 & drop @types.
v1.5
Add typescript typings.
v1.4
Refactor to es6.
v1.3
Reduce driver size (almost by 50%) by "inheriting" the method implementations of the localforage.WEBSQL
driver.
v1.2 BREAKING CHANGE
Add support for newer versions of Cordova SQLite storage plugin (v0.8.x & v1.2.x).
UPGRADE WARNING: The default storage location for SQLite has changed in newer versions of Cordova SQLite storage plugin. The new "default
" location value is NOT the same as the old "default
" location and will break an upgrade for an app that was using the old default value (0) on iOS. If you are upgrading to a newer version of localForage-cordovaSQLiteDriver
you need to verify where your previous storage location was and update the location
property of the localForage database. Otherwise the default is 'default'
. This is to avoid breaking the iCloud Design Guide. See here for further details.
v1.1
Try using the getSerializer()
(available in localforage v1.3) as the prefered way to retrieve the serializer.
