Couchbase Lite Tutorial

App Overview
We will be working with a very simple “User Profile” app. It does one thing –
– Allows users to log in and create or update his/her user profile information
The user profile information is persisted as a Document in the local Couchbase Lite Database. So subsquently, when the user logs out and logs back in again, the profile information is loaded from the Database.
