pouchdb-hoodie-unsynced-local-docs

This PouchDB plugin provides simple methods to check if local DB has unsynced changes.

Usage

// Initialisation

var db = new PouchDB('dbname')
var api = db.unsyncedLocalDocs({remote: 'http://example.com/mydb'})

api.unsyncedLocalDocs()
.then(function(changes) {
  // changes is array of docs?
})

api.unsyncedLocalDocs('docid') // pass doc id
api.unsyncedLocalDocs({_id: 'docid'}) // pass doc with _id property
api.unsyncedLocalDocs(['docid', {_id: 'docid'}]) // array of IDs and objects

Approach

1. we know localDb, but not the state of remoteDB when we are offline
2. update_seq(for localDb/remoteDb) + get _local/ ids for both, 1-time replication & continuous replication*
3. localDb/_changes?since=
4. if it returns anything: there are changes
