Annotator PouchDB Storage Plugin
PouchDB provides a fabulous offline-first storage option with the power to replicate between Apache CouchDB , IBM Cloudant, and others.
Annotator + PouchDB
Annotations are often personal things that you may want to share later. This plugin allows you to add offline-first storage into your Annotator-based extension, app, or UI.
Usage
$ npm install
$ npm run anno # builds annotator.js
$ npm run dev # builds annotator-pouchdb.js
You can then open the included index.html file and annotate it, or run it
inside a local web server (try python -m SimpleHTTPServer if you have python
handy and are in a hurry).
Use index.html as a reference for your project.
Replication
Obviously, there comes a time where you might want these annotations to live
in at least one other place. PouchDB supports the Apache CouchDB Replication
Protocol and you can use the .sync()
method to keep your offline-first copy in sync with a remote Apache CouchDB
or IBM Cloudant database.
