WatermelonDB is a new way of dealing with user data in React Native and React web apps.
It's optimized for building complex applications in React Native, and the number one goal is real-world performance. In simple words, your app must launch fast.
For simple apps, using Redux or MobX with a persistence adapter is the easiest way to go. But when you start scaling to thousands or tens of thousands of database records, your app will now be slow to launch (especially on slower Android devices). Loading a full database into JavaScript is expensive!
Watermelon fixes it by being lazy. Nothing is loaded until it's requested. And since all querying is performed directly on the rock-solid SQLite database on a separate native thread, most queries resolve in an instant.
But unlike using SQLite directly, Watermelon is fully observable. So whenever you change a record, all UI that depends on it will automatically re-render. For example, completing a task in a to-do app will re-render the task component, the list (to reorder), and all relevant task counters. Learn more.

Quick (over-simplified) example: an app with posts and comments.
First, you define Models:
class Post extends Model { @field('name') name @field('body') body @children('comments') comments } class Comment extends Model { @field('body') body @field('author') author }
Then, you connect components to the data:
const Comment = ({ comment }) => ( <View style={styles.commentBox}> <Text>{comment.body} — by {comment.author}</Text> </View> ) // This is how you make your app reactive! ✨ const enhance = withObservables(['comment'], ({ comment }) => ({ comment, })) const EnhancedComment = enhance(Comment)
And now you can render the whole Post:
const Post = ({ post, comments }) => ( <View> <Text>{post.name}</Text> <Text>Comments:</Text> {comments.map(comment => <EnhancedComment key={comment.id} comment={comment} /> )} </View> ) const enhance = withObservables(['post'], ({ post }) => ({ post, comments: post.comments }))
The result is fully reactive! Whenever a post or comment is added, changed, or removed, the right components will automatically re-render on screen. Doesn't matter if a change occurred in a totally different part of the app, it all just works out of the box!
