Hi everyone,

Just announcing this early - it is still only in a proof-of-concept form at the moment - to get feedback from the collective brain. 😁

PouchDB is a local database compatible with CouchDB and its derivatives (Cloudant and Couchbase). It handles the data locally with the option to sync to a server. It is like the SQLite of the no-sql world.

So far, I've only implemented:

- Database creation via a configuration node so that it can be shared between nodes
- An output node that only does a simplistic `put` of new documents to the db
- An input node that listens for changes to the db and outputs the change data

Minimal settings and error checking. I just wanted to prove that I could get it working and get something useful.

If you want to try it, please install direct from GitHub `npm install totallyinformation/node-red-contrib-pouchdb`.

It should be fairly trivial to add the option to sync to an external CouchDB compatible server.

Check out the [TODO list](https://github.com/TotallyInformation/node-red-contrib-pouchdb/blob/main/TODO.md) for things already identified but _I'm looking for feedback from the community on what you think should be implemented_.

Enjoy!
