Couchbase Lite with React Native

I went into this expecting a challenge but it was easy. Basically, Couchbase Lite has always had an optional HTTP listener that you can connect to from inside your app at http://lite.couchbase./mydatabase/. React Native has a fine XHR module and encourages using fetch so getting your app to sync can be as easy as adding some API calls to keep JSON in the database.

We haven't done a full example yet, but in the spirit of possiblity, here are quick instructions to connect Couchbase Lite iOS with a React Native app (generated from their cli).

• Download and unzip Couchbase Lite iOS (grep this page for ios)
• Drag and drop BOTH frameworks (CouchbaseLite.framework and CouchbaseLiteListener.framework) into your React Native app Xcode sidebar. More about the Listener capabilities in this blog post about peer to peer apps.
• Add the library dependenc

Scripted Jenkins Plugins install

Jenkins has a very rich catalog of plugins and it's quite easy to install and update them via UI. BTW, when you want to add tons of plugin via UI, it's a fairly long and boring procedure.

Hopefully, mass installation (or update) could be easy using a simple bash script (curl/python required) :

Create a file containing plugins to be installed (or updated), ie iplugins :

/*
 *  Stuff enclosed in %{ %} in the first section is copied verbatim to the
 *  output, so headers and global definitions are placed here to be visible
 * to the code in the file.  Don't remove anything that was here initially
