What is the import statement for cordova-plugin-sqlite-2 in Ionic framework?

Issue

I am trying to use cordova-plugin-sqlite-2 plugin in my Ionic app, but I'm not sure how to use its features for opening or creating a database . What import () statement should I give to use this plugin ?

I have referred this Question in which 'import { SQLite } from 'ionic-native'; is used , but it is showing error when used.

Solution

I'm not sure if you're trying to use sqlite only or some other DB, but I have recently used PouchDB inside my Ionic5+ReactJs+Typescript app, and here is what I did:

1. Install the necessary packages

npm install pouchdb pouchdb-adapter-cordova-sqlite cordova-plugin-sqlite-2 @types/pouchdb @ionic-native/sqlite

Please note that @types packages are for typescript support.

2. Create a sample database

import PouchDB from "pouchdb";

import "cordova-plugin-sqlite-2/dist/sqlite-plugin";

import cordovaSqlitePlugin from "pouchdb-adapter-cordova-sqlite";

PouchDB.plugin(cordovaSqlitePlugin);

let sampleDB = new PouchDB("sampleDatabase", { adapter: "cordova-sqlite", });

3. After that you can use the database object directly

sampleDB.post({name: "my first object"});
