Is this the same as realm db or couch db lite? about brick

Hey @ccfiel thanks for using Brick.

I'm not exactly familiar with these services on the client, but I'm going to do my best here.

They are somewhat similar. Both services support offline caching of organized data.

To my understanding, CouchDB performs a sync of the entire dataset by maintaining a changelog. This permits batching requests. Brick, on the client, will notify your API when something's been changed locally and will continue to retry that request to the API until the API acknowledges it's received the data with a successful status code or response.

For Realm, if you're using it with a service like Mongo the sync is performed (I believe), but if you're using it as an on-device cache, then Realm is most like SQLite.

I'm not as read on the fetching of data, so I'll only explain how Brick does it - data is fetched when it is not present or when it's requested explicitly using OfflineFirstPolicy.awaitRemote.

Does that answer your question? Do you have a specific part of the Couch or Realm docs that you're curious about / what the equivalent is in Brick?

@tshedor, thanks for the answer! :) This is an excellent project! So, if the client is offline, it will record all the activities offline, and If the client is online again, it will send all the offline activity logs to the provider. The provider will decide how the log activities data will be processed. Did I get it right?
