PouchDB-Unlimited-Storage

Storage limits for PouchDB + IndexedDB are limited to about 6% of the available memory on a machine. There is currently no API to request more storage space for IndexedDB. However, Chrome extensions support an unlimitedStorage mode which allows IndexedDB to occupy 100% of the available memory. This library enables you to use PouchDB with an IndexedDB inside the extension to expand the storage capacity.

const PouchdbUnlimitedStorage = require('pouchdb-unlimited-storage');

const pouchdb = new PouchdbUnlimitedStorage({
  chromeExtensionId: 'jalhnbpalbfpokpfechjfbkocddggdbf',
});

const db = pouchdb('database');

db.changes({
  since: 'now',
  live: true,
  include_docs: true,
})
  .on('change', change => console.log('onChange triggered', change))
  .on('error', console.error);

const id = new Date().toISOString();
await db.put({ _id: id, title: 'New Object' });
await unlimitedPouch('database').get(id);

Project contains samples of a Chrome extension which requests unlimitedStorage and a sample client application which uses the library. This project is a proof of concept and not production ready. Works for most basic scenarios including replicate, sync, etc.
