Add CouchDB and PouchDB to your local development environment.

1. Install Docker and Node.js

2. Create a new app project:

   npm create vite

3. Add CouchDB as a backend:

   npx add-couchdb-backend

4. Add PouchDB to the frontend:

   npm install pouchdb

• Run npm run backend to start the backend

• Open the CouchDB backend at http://localhost:5984/_utils/

  • Login with username root and password root

• Synchronize the database with the frontend:

  // Import PouchDB
  import '../node_modules/pouchdb/dist/pouchdb.min.js'
  
  // Configure the local and remote databases
  const db = new PouchDB('development')
  const dbRemote = new PouchDB('http://localhost:5984/development')
  
  // Synchronize both databases
  db.sync(dbRemote, { live: true, retry: true })

• no dependency will be added to the repository (only PouchDB itself)
• you have full control of all source files for fine tuning
• running npx add-couchdb-backend will download the package in a cache folder
  • the package will create a docker/ folder with the Dockerfile
  • the package will create a docker-composer.yml file to configure the container setup
  • the package will add a backend script to the package.json file
