Encryption documentation missing

[amoghbanta]

I am not able to figure out how to use encryption with this library. I see that SQLCIPHER is implemented in the latest version but couldn't find any documentation or examples of how to use it. Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks

From my pr for android:
#187
// for sqlitecipher support:
+include ':sql-cipher-plugin'
+project(':sql-cipher-plugin').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-sqlite-storage/src/android/sql-cipher-plugin')

It's not in yet, so you'd need to fork my branch if you want it.

For iOS, I think you need to have a fork in which you add the sqlitecipher as a dependency to the Podfile also you need to define SQLITECIPHER to make it work.

@andpor, or anyone with iOS experience what would be the best approach to handle this? Make two Podfiles: one for with sqlitecipher and one without, other ideas?

Also, you need to pass the key to the database open method.
It will be used to encrypt the database.
If there is no key, it's not encrypted even in case you are using the sqlitecipher.

For storage of the password, you might want to use the react-native-keychain. It has keychain support for both iOS and Android.

Hope it answers your question.
