🎯 Key Concepts

Before diving into the documentation, familiarize yourself with these core concepts:

• Offline-First: Synquill prioritizes local operations, syncing with remote APIs when connectivity allows
• Model-Driven: Define your data models once, generate repositories, DAOs, and database tables automatically
• Queue-Based Sync: Smart sync queues handle dependencies between related data operations
• Reactive Streams: Real-time UI updates through Stream<T> APIs that respond to data changes
• Configurable Policies: Control when and how data is loaded and saved with flexible policies

🔧 Common Use Cases

💡 Tips for Success

1. Start Simple: Begin with basic CRUD operations before implementing complex sync scenarios
2. Test Offline: Always test your app's behavior when connectivity is unavailable
3. Monitor Queues: Use the queue monitoring tools to debug sync issues
4. Use Indexes: Leverage indexes for better performance
5. Handle Errors: Implement proper error handling for network and database operations
