Could this be a pure JavaScript package instead?

@dpa99c I just discovered this plugin from Ionic-native. I would like to start with a note of appreciation for your hard work to help people deal with some of the issues they encounter with sqlite and Cordova in general. I made a small donation and would like to give you a word of encouragement to keep up the good work. I am sure your work will be recognized more and more over time.

Looking at this project I see that it could be just as useful for either Cordova or Web SQL in the browser. While the Web SQL spec is unfortunately deprecated and not supported by some newer browsers such as Edge I can imagine some possible uses including:

• custom Chrome-based application
• use with https://github.com/nolanlawson/node-websql

Ideally it should be possible to consume as a CommonJS (ES5) module or ES6 module by systems such as Browserify, Webpack, Rollup, or prepack.io. You may want to look at what I did in https://github.com/brodybits/sql-promise-helper in the past.

I would love to make this contribution but am pretty swamped with backlog right now.

@brodybits Firstly, thanks for the donation - it's much appreciated, as are your kind words.

I originally created this plugin out of my own necessity when building Cordova apps that used SQLite storage. However, you're right in that it could be generalised into being non-Cordova-specific so it would work in browser, node environments, etc. It's something I'd considered may be useful, but I've not had need of it myself.

This repo contains some Cordova-specific bits, both in the documentation and files such as plugin.xml, so I think if the core functionality were to be generalised, it should live in a different repo (sqlite-porter?).

Like yourself, I am also pretty swamped with backlog: in addition to my day job, I have my own apps in the app stores, as well as my open source software to maintain. What you propose makes sense, so I will add it to the TODO list and get around to it when I eventually have some time.
