"An amazing Relational Query Engine with JS"

5/5

What do you like best about Lovefield?

One of the most valuable things viewed by developers is if the product/idea is an open source project. The Lovefield is an excellent example. This JavaScript SQL-like database library is very fast, useful and easy-to-learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lovefield?

Not that I did not like, but to be in the beginning also has a rather small community. If you face problems will have to count on a little help or solve their own way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lovefield is a great SQL interface to local browser storage."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Lovefield?

Easy to use, and very responsive support. The example code to is realistic and a great jumping off point, showing how to initialize the DB on first load, abstract it to a general data source that relies both on lf and $http. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lovefield?

Biggest issue was more more a result of JS than lf itself. All DB access is non-blocking and done with Promises, which means that when you have a lot of queries to implement sequentially, the code becomes bloated with promises chains.

That said, it's great to be able to have non-blocking queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lovefield:

Fast to set up, good responsive support on Github, open source Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lovefield solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used lf in a "functional" product mock up where I could send the product to clients and they could run it without me having to set up a app server to serve data.

The benefits were that my [angular] controllers/factories/services could easily access the data, often without knowing where it came from.

Without lf or any other local data storage, for this mock up I'd have probably just had a static JSON file storing my data, and had to write my own getters to access the data.. This would have been time consuming and slow (especially considering that the mock up was grabbing large amounts of 3D data to render with D3.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
