A database adapter provides an interface between the Tina database and the underlying database implementation. It implements a limited subset of functionality required by a sorted key-value store, which can be provided by almost any database implementation. We currently have database adapters for the following database implementations:
We're considering support for additional database adapters in the future, if this interests you let us know through GitHub discussions.
Configuring a database adapter can be done in the database.{ts,js} file by passing it to the createDatabase function.
// ...export isLocal ? createLocalDatabase() : createDatabase({// ...databaseAdapter: new DatabaseAdapter()})
