If you're building a Capacitor app and need a solid way to handle local data, I put together a practical SQLite tutorial.

SQLite gives you a much more robust alternative to things like localStorage or IndexedDB:

• Structured queries, filtering, and relationships
• Fast and predictable performance
• Transactions for data consistency
• Same API across iOS, Android, and Web

In the video I focus on the fundamentals with a simple demo:

• CRUD operations
• Transactions (how to use them properly)
• Structuring your data layer in a Capacitor app

I also included free starter apps so you don’t have to start from scratch:

• Angular + Ionic + Capacitor
• React + Ionic + Capacitor

Would love feedback or to hear how you’re handling local data in your apps 🙌

The project uses capacitor-sqlite plugin which is only available to Capawesome Insiders.
