The local Database for Ionic Apps
- Build apps that work Offline
- Sync with any Backend
- Observable Realtime Queries
- All JavaScript Runtimes Supported
In RxDB, everything is observable. Query Results, Documents, Document Fields, Events.
RxDB's high-performance replication protocol powers real-time synchronization between Ionic clients and servers. While specialized plugins exist for GraphQL, CouchDB, P2P, Firestore, and NATS, it remains backend-agnostic — seamlessly integrating with any infrastructure over HTTP for unmatched flexibility and speed.
RxDB adopts an offline-first approach, keeping your app fully functional even without a connection. Data is stored locally on the Ionic client and seamlessly replicated in the background, and you can even skip the backend entirely if you choose.
RxDB's modular storage architecture adapts to any JavaScript runtime — Browsers, React Native, Node.js, Electron, and beyond. Simply switch the storage plugin to reuse the same database and replication logic across all your Ionic apps, saving time and ensuring consistency.
Since its creation in 2018, RxDB has evolved into a powerhouse of features and plugins, offering an all-inclusive, future-proof solution for any type of Ionic application. Whatever you need now or might need down the road, is already built in. Giving you the confidence to create robust, scalable apps with ease.
RxDB is a proven, battle-tested solution used by countless developers across the globe. With its flexibility, RxDB is used in a vast spectrum of Ionic apps and services — from real-time collaboration tools to mission-critical enterprise systems:
