@remelondb/driver-rn

The React Native driver for remelonDB: a thin adapter over expo-sqlite, which owns the native SQLite build on both platforms.

Because expo-sqlite ships inside Expo Go, apps using this driver need no custom native build: expo start, scan, done. Development builds and bare React Native apps work the same way (expo-sqlite installs as a regular Expo module).

Usage

import { Database } from '@remelondb/core'
import { RnSqliteDriver } from '@remelondb/driver-rn'

const db = await Database.open({
  driver: new RnSqliteDriver(),
  schema,
  name: 'app.db',   // or ':memory:'
})

Requires expo-sqlite (peer dependency): npx expo install expo-sqlite.

The optional C++ driver

@remelondb/driver-rn-cpp is the same seam implemented as a pure C++ TurboModule with a bundled, pinned SQLite — no expo dependency, at the cost of requiring a development build. The two export the same class name, so switching is one import change. Choose it when you need a specific SQLite version or want zero dependencies between remelonDB and Expo.

Both drivers are proven by the same @remelondb/core/conformance suite; which one an app injects into Database.open is the whole difference.
