How can I delete PouchDB Database indefinitly, to free space?

问题

How can I drop a database in PouchDB to get the space on the disk free again? Remove only sets a paramter _deleted and keeps the Data of the record anyway.
But how can I delete records in a way that actually gets rid of them and saves up some space?
Because I'd like to reset the database every now and then so it doesn't get too big.

回答1:

It sounds like you are looking for compaction. It will do exactly what you describe. :)

回答2:

You can destroy the database and create it again.

var _db = new PouchDB('foo');

var reset = function() {
  _db.destroy().then(function() {
    _db = new PouchDB('foo');
  });
};
