Looks neat as I want to try making a local-first app. Though this seems to require React. Is that the case or will it work with vanilla JS?

Also not yet sure how I'd send an edited sqlite db to a backend like LiteFs—looks like Sqlite3Persister is the interface.

As the other commenter points out, the ui-react (and in turn ui-react-dom) modules are optional so you can run it with full ReactDom, with abstract React (eg React Native), or without React at all.

The way to do that would be to listen to data changes (eg addCellListener) and in the listener just manipulate the DOM directly. Probably a pretty slick approach, performance-wise.

For SQLite, a variety of flavors are supported including things like ElectricSQL, Turso, and PowerSync - which all let you sync back to a server. You might also consider running a ‘client’ on a server that can listen to changes coming through web sockets and persist itself to server storage - but I haven’t written that pattern up yet.

Hopefully you’ll get a chance to try it out in the meantime though!

“ The optional bindings to React and pre-built components let you easily build fully reactive UIs on top of TinyBase.”

Without docs/sample code, optional might as well be required.

The very first demo is React-less and so is this Vite template! Enjoy :)

I don’t know what vite is. Should I be interested? (Trying to keep the JS part of my app as simple as possible without a lot of deps.)

It's just a way to get up and running with an app template. But this is the essence of the JS in question: https://github.com/tinyplex/vite-tinybase/blob/main/src/inde...

Thanks!

The way I understood it, this is similar to Firebase? Though Firefox is server side, not client side. So I would have to check out a more fully fledged example to compare them.

Can you compare tiny base to RxDB?
