Phonegap SQLitePlugin ===================== DISCLAIMER: We are brand new to objective-c, so there could be problems with our code! Installing ========== For installing with PhoneGap 1.3.0: in PGSQLitePlugin.h file change for PhoneGaps JSONKit.h implementation. #ifdef PHONEGAP_FRAMEWORK #import #import #import #import #import #else #import "PGPlugin.h" #import "JSON.h" #import "PhoneGapDelegate.h" #import "File.h" #endif In the Project Build Phases tab, select the "Link Binary with Libraries" dropdown menu and add 2 libraries: libsqlite3.0.dylib libsqlite3.dylib Drag .h and .m files into your project's Plugins folder (in xcode) -- I always just have "Create references" as the option selected. Take the precompiled javascript file from build/, or compile the coffeescript file in src/ to javascript WITH the top-level function wrapper option (default). Use the resulting javascript file in your HTML. Look for the following to your project's PhoneGap.plist: Plugins ... Insert this in there: PGSQLitePlugin PGSQLitePlugin General Usage ============= ## Coffee Script db = new PGSQLitePlugin("test_native.sqlite3") db.executeSql('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_table') db.executeSql('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test_table (id integer primary key, data text, data_num integer)') db.transaction (tx) -> tx.executeSql [ "INSERT INTO test_table (data, data_num) VALUES (?,?)", "test", 100], (res) -> # success callback console.log "insertId: #{res.insertId} -- probably 1" console.log "rowsAffected: #{res.rowsAffected} -- should be 1" # check the count (not a part of the transaction) db.executeSql "select count(id) as cnt from test_table;", (res) -> console.log "rows.length: #{res.rows.length} -- should be 1" console.log "rows[0].cnt: #{res.rows[0].cnt} -- should be 1" , (e) -> # error callback console.log "ERROR: #{e.message}" ## Plain Javascript var db; db = new PGSQLitePlugin("test_native.sqlite3"); db.executeSql('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_table'); db.executeSql('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test_table (id integer primary key, data text, data_num integer)'); db.transaction(function(tx) { return tx.executeSql(["INSERT INTO test_table (data, data_num) VALUES (?,?)", "test", 100], function(res) { console.log("insertId: " + res.insertId + " -- probably 1"); console.log("rowsAffected: " + res.rowsAffected + " -- should be 1"); return db.executeSql("select count(id) as cnt from test_table;", function(res) { console.log("rows.length: " + res.rows.length + " -- should be 1"); return console.log("rows[0].cnt: " + res.rows[0].cnt + " -- should be 1"); }); }, function(e) { return console.log("ERROR: " + e.message); }); }); Lawnchair Adapter Usage ======================= Include the following js files in your html: - lawnchair.js (you provide) - pgsqlite_plugin.js - lawnchair_pgsqlite_plugin_adapter.js (must come after pgsqlite_plugin.js) The `name` option will determine the sqlite filename. Optionally, you can change it using the `db` option. In this example, you would be using/creating the database at: *Documents/kvstore.sqlite3* (all db's in PGSQLitePlugin are in the Documents folder) kvstore = new Lawnchair { name: "kvstore", adapter: PGSQLitePlugin.lawnchair_adapter }, () -> # do stuff Using the `db` option you can create multiple stores in one sqlite file. (There will be one table per store.) recipes = new Lawnchair {db: "cookbook", name: "recipes", ...} ingredients = new Lawnchair {db: "cookbook", name: "ingredients", ...} ### Other notes from @Joenoon: I played with the idea of batching responses into larger sets of writeJavascript on a timer, however there was only a barely noticeable performance gain. So I took it out, not worth it. However there is a massive performance gain by batching on the client-side to minimize PhoneGap.exec calls using the transaction support.
