does anyone have experience with Realm? I know there is an open ticket on realm-cocoa about supporting multiplatform projects somehow, how difficult would it be to write wrappers around realm-java and realm-cocoa for a kotlin multiplatform project, I'm stuck on how I would approach creating the Realm models... (currently I'm just handling the persistence outside of KMP, maybe this if fine for now until it's officially supported upstream)

If it's persistence you're looking for, not necessarily being Realm, consider using SqlDelight.

Thanks! SqlDelight looks great. I'm mostly interested in the syncing services offered by realm, would love to use something like SqlDelight but I need some collaborative editing features and don't really want to implement a whole sync engine for that

If realm doesnt have any multiplatform support already, you'll probably have to define a common interface for realm-java and realm-cocoa yourself in your common code After that you use a facade pattern (either using

expect

/

actual

keywords or dependency injection), and you should be able to use it in your common code

thanks a lot @Mgj, the put me in the right direction, I know they are working on it but not sure when that'l be released officially.

For what its worth my plan is to use SqlDelight but yeah, i dont think it has the "auto-sync-with-cloud" features as Realm does

I've gone down the road of "build your own offline-sync" feature before and while I learned a lot I wouldn't do it myself again 😂
