Offline desktop app

[Fernando_Martinez1 (Fernando Martinez)]

Hello community,

I am a little new on Mongodb but I would like to know what could be the better way to create a reactjs web app that can work offline and when it does get online can sync with atlas.

I have been searching and there are many options when using mobile but not for Desktop app.

Thank you

Hi,

One approach to consider for desktop applications is Electron. Quick start instructions available here:

Quick Start with Electron using React - Atlas Device SDKs

With Atlas Device SDKs being deprecated, does the above approach of considering Electron still apply? Kindly clarify…

Hi Lokesh, check out PowerSync (they have an electron demo app here: powersync-js/demos/example-electron at main · powersync-ja/powersync-js · GitHub)
