@amorenew @lekerning unfortunately, realm for native platforms (iOS, Android, and UWP) is totally separate from realm for react-native. realm for react-native is more like realm for JavaScriptCore, with a bit of native functionality to ensure that the realm hooks are installed. What we need to get realm working on react-native-windows is realm for Chakra(Core).

This plugin provides a WebSQL-compatible API to store data in a react native app, by using a SQLite database on the native side. Can you check it we write a simple bridge here :

"I'm hopeful we can get a release out before Feb"
"We released Windows Desktop (i.e. WPF/Console app) support. We're actively working on UWP and hope to have an alpha release in several weeks."

Welcome

@amorenew
However, I see a blog https://blog.realm.io/realm-mobile-database-for-universal-windows-platform/,
does it mean that UWP is supported, but react-native-windows is not supported by realm yet?
Another question is, can I use realm.js in react-native-windows?
Thanks

@lekerning Maybe it's in alpha or beta not final release but anyway it will take time to support React Native
Check the milestone

Hello, what good offline DB options we have now in 2020 to use with react-native-windows and android too?
NeDB have this on github:
Deprecated. When I started this project, there were no off-line storage options for react-native besides AsyncStorage. Today there are many better options, which receive PRs and have entire teams working on. For these reasons, this project is archived.
