Realm is a mobile database that runs directly inside phones, tablets or wearables.
|
||
This project hosts the JavaScript versions of [Realm](https://realm.io/). Currently we only support React Native (both iOS & Android) and Node.js (on MacOS and Linux) but we are considering adding support for Cordova/PhoneGap/Ionic as well.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
* **Mobile-first:** Realm is the first database built from the ground up to run directly inside phones, tablets and wearables.
|
||
* **Simple:** Data is directly [exposed as objects](https://realm.io/docs/react-native/latest/#models) and [queryable by code](https://realm.io/docs/react-native/latest/#queries), removing the need for ORM's riddled with performance & maintenance issues.
|
||
* **Modern:** Realm supports relationships, generics, and vectorization.
|
||
* **Fast:** Realm is faster than even raw SQLite on common operations, while maintaining an extremely rich feature set.

|
||
```
|
||
git clone https://github.com/realm/realm-js.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then in the cloned directory:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
