In PouchDB, a database can be created easily using PouchDB Constructor.

Syntax

new PouchDB(Database_name)

Example

We can create a database in PouchDB with the help of node,PouchDB package is required using the require() method and database can be created as shown in the below example.

//Requiring the package var PouchDB = require('PouchDB'); //Creating the database object var db = new PouchDB('my_database'); console.log ("Database created Successfully.");

We need to save the code as Create_Database.js. Open cmd and by using node, we need to execute the JavaScript as displayed below.

C:\PouchDB_Examples>node Create_Database.js

By doing this, we are now creating a database locally (where the folder in the current directory can be seen) that displays the below message.

Database created Successfully.
