<p>The LokiJS RxStorage is based on <a href="https://github.com/techfort/LokiJS" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LokiJS</a> which is an <strong>in-memory</strong> database that processes all data in memory and only saves to disc when the app is closed or an interval is reached. This makes it very fast but you have the possibility to lose semingly persisted writes when the JavaScript process ends before the persistence loop has been done.</p>

There are known bugs like having wrong query results of losing data. LokiJS bugs that occur outside of the RxDB layer will not be fixed and the LokiJS RxStorage was removed in RxDB version 16. Using LokiJS as storage is no longer possible. In production it is recommended to use another <a href="/rx-storage.html">RxStorage</a> instead. For browsers better use the <a href="/rx-storage-dexie.html">Dexie.js</a> or <a href="/rx-storage-indexeddb.html">IndexedDB</a> storage. For fast lazy persistend in memory data (similar to how lokijs works) you can use the <a href="/rx-storage-memory-mapped.html">Memory Mapped</a> storage. If you really need the lokijs RxStorage, you can fork the open-source code from the previous RxDB version.</p></div></div>

<ul>
<li>Queries can run faster because all data is processed in memory.</li>
<li>It has a much faster initial load time because it loads all data from IndexedDB in a single request. But this is only true for small datasets. If much data must is stored, the initial load time can be higher than on other RxStorage implementations.</li>

<ul>
<li>It does not support attachments.</li>
<li>Data can be lost when the JavaScript process is killed ungracefully like when the browser crashes or the power of the PC is terminated.</li>
<li>All data must fit into the memory.</li>
<li>Slow initialisation time when used with <code>multiInstance: true</code> because it has to await the leader election process.</li>
<li>Slow initialisation time when really much data is stored inside of the database because it has to parse a big <code>JSON</code> string.</li>

<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="adapters">Adapters<a href="#adapters" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Adapters" title="Direct link to Adapters"></a></h2>
<p>LokiJS is based on adapters that determine where to store persistent data. For LokiJS there are adapters for IndexedDB, AWS S3, the NodeJS filesystem or NativeScript.
Find more about the possible adapters at the <a href="https://github.com/techfort/LokiJS/blob/master/tutorials/Persistence%20Adapters.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LokiJS docs</a>. For react native there is also the <a href="https://github.com/jonnyreeves/loki-async-reference-adapter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">loki-async-reference-adapter</a>.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="multi-tab-support">Multi-Tab support<a href="#multi-tab-support" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Multi-Tab support" title="Direct link to Multi-Tab support"></a></h2>
<p>When you use plain LokiJS, you cannot build an app that can be used in multiple browser tabs. The reason is that LokiJS loads data in bulk and then only regularly persists the in-memory state to disc. When opened in multiple tabs, it would happen that the LokiJS instances overwrite each other and data is lost.
With the RxDB LokiJS-plugin, this problem is fixed with the <a href="https://github.com/pubkey/broadcast-channel#using-the-leaderelection" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LeaderElection</a> module. Between all open tabs, a leading tab is elected and only in this tab a database is created. All other tabs do not run queries against their own database, but instead call the leading tab to send and retrieve data. When the leading tab is closed, a new leader is elected that reopens the database and processes queries. You can disable this by setting <code>multiInstance: false</code> when creating the <code>RxDatabase</code>.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="autosave-and-autoload">Autosave and autoload<a href="#autosave-and-autoload" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Autosave and autoload" title="Direct link to Autosave and autoload"></a></h2>
<p>When using plain LokiJS, you could set the <code>autosave</code> option to <code>true</code> to make sure that LokiJS persists the database state after each write into the persistence adapter. Same goes to <code>autoload</code> which loads the persisted state on database creation.
But RxDB knows better when to persist the database state and when to load it, so it has its own autosave logic. This will ensure that running the persistence handler does not affect the performance of more important tasks. Instead RxDB will always wait until the database is idle and then runs the persistence handler.
A load of the persisted state is done on database or collection creation and it is ensured that multiple load calls do not run in parallel and interfere with each other or with <code>saveDatabase()</code> calls.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="known-problems">Known problems<a href="#known-problems" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Known problems" title="Direct link to Known problems"></a></h2>
<p>When you bundle the LokiJS Plugin with webpack, you might get the error <code>Cannot find module "fs"</code>. This is because LokiJS uses a <code>require('fs')</code> statement that cannot work in the browser.
You can fix that by telling webpack to not resolve the <code>fs</code> module with the following block in your webpack config:</p>

<p>For custom operations, you can access the internal LokiJS database.
This is dangerous because you might do changes that are not compatible with RxDB.
Only use this when there is no way to achieve your goals via the RxDB API.</p>

<p>We want to be transparent with our community, and you'll notice a console message when using the free Loki.js based RxStorage implementation. This message serves to inform you about the availability of faster storage solutions within our <a href="/premium/">👑 Premium Plugins</a>. We understand that this might be a minor inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize for that. However, maintaining and improving RxDB requires substantial resources, and our premium users help us ensure its sustainability. If you find value in RxDB and wish to remove this message, we encourage you to explore our premium storage options, which are optimized for professional use and production environments. Thank you for your understanding and support.</p>
<p>If you already have premium access and want to use the Dexie.js <a href="/rx-storage.html">RxStorage</a> without the log, you can call the <code>setPremiumFlag()</code> function to disable the log.</p>
