Overriding default implementations with plugin not working

[louwers]

Issue

It doesn't seem to be possible to override default PouchDB implementations anymore.

Maybe related #8450

This example in the docs doesn't work because of this: https://pouchdb.com/api.html#plugins:~:text=Example%20Plugin%3A%20Intercept%20Updates (also there is a typo, doc is undefined).

Info

• Environment: (Node.js/browser/hybrid app/etc.) Browser
• Platform: (Chrome/FF/Safari/Edge/iOS/Android/etc.) Firefox
• Adapter: (idb/indexeddb/memory/leveldb/etc.) N/A
• Server: (CouchDB/Cloudant/PouchDB Server/etc.) N/A

Reproduce

  PouchDB.plugin({
    bulkDocs : function () {
      console.log("Hello!");
    }
  });


const localDb = new PouchDB('db')
localDb.bulkDocs() // does not call above method

@louwers Is this a duplicate of this issue?

If you think so, could you try the fix in this PR?

If that works then we can dust of the PR and get it merged...

[louwers]

@garethbowen Looks like it. I think it would work.

I don't know how to try it out though.

[garethbowen]

@louwers Well it depends how you're depending on pouchdb. If you use npm you can just go into your node_modules and manually apply the fix. Or you can depend on the branch instead of a released version.

When I depend on the branch I get a pouchdb-monorepo dependency.

I will try your other suggestion. 👍
