Whether Realm sync can be work with IonicFramework?

MongoDB Atlas App Services & Realm Atlas Device Sync

We are working on that as the next post - taking the integration to the next level with a Realm Capacitor Plugin. So, it’s on the cards and hopefully before the end of the year.

luck was not on our side, let’s hope that the integration with IONIC and angular will be soon.

Hi Nils,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the MongoDB Forums.

Not yet, we still don’t have the Realm Capacitor Plugin. Today I saw a task to follow up on this, so I’ll try to get an idea about when this will be available.

Thanks again for posting,

Diego

Hi Alfred,

Welcome to the MongoDB Forums. As you can read here still no Capacitor plugin, sorry.

Just wanted to see if there are any updates surrounding timeline or likelihood of an Ionic realm sync, or a capacitor version.

Yes +1, I’d also like to use this, a lot of mobile app need to work offline, so without the realm/sync it’s pretty useless IMHO. This is the main barrier to us adopting MongoDb for the majority of our projects, instead we tend to use CouchDb/PouchDb which allows for offline first and syncing.

Yep, +1. Capacitor.js is getting increasingly popular, and while they suggest using an SQLite for some data, If MongoDB Atlas steps into adding a capacitor plugin for Realm support, together with its syncing capabilities, they can attract a lot of developers . The MongoDB App Services with the serverless infrastructure would be a game changer.

And before someone says - why do not just use ReactNative, well, I personally can do it, BUT this is a library of Facebook, and it was BSD+ (now MIT after dev world pressure). I prefer something like Vue3 with Composition API - clean, super fast, and secure. So I shall be really out of any options to jump on the React ship. :slight_smile:

I don’t want to use SQLite or another solution, Realm is perfect for use with MongoDB.

It would be, indeed if it was supporting not only React Native but also other mobile hybrid solutions - e.g. Capacitor.

The Preview release of the Realm JS WebAssembly SDK is out:

Note that the release has not been tested inside Ionic or Cordova apps but we are expecting it to work nevertheless in iOS and Android.

That’s excellent news, can you elaborate further on the following limitation:

Device Sync on the browser is currently subject to the following limitations:

  • No persistence: The Realm JS Web SDK does not persist Device Sync data to disk. All local data is stored in memory and will be lost when the browser tab is closed or refreshed.

I’m trying to understand how this would work in an offline first mobile application (e.g. Ionic on Android or iOS)?

With the initial release of the SDK we were mainly interested in the feasibility and performance of Atlas Device Sync and hence persistency was left out.

I’m also very interesting if there is any update or roadmap / schedule for this please. Thanks.
