I'm just curious about the default key-value usage.

import {Storage, SqlStorage } from 'ionic-angular';

let storage = new Storage(SqlStorage);
storage.set(key, value);
storage.get(key).then((value) => { ... });

Where can I find the sqlite file(s)?

I assume I will be able to read/write outside of the app; is that true? Honestly I'm only interested for debugging reasons, so it would be okay if I can only have read access, and only after the app is closed. And I particularly interested on my desktop during development (as opposed to on a device). Do I have to use the backup file option and specify my own path for the database in order to do that?

the documentation states it is stored to WebSQL unless you have installed the SQLite Plugin

First few lines of the documentation...

  • Ah, hmm. I think that the first few lines of the documentation *actually* say that it uses WebSQL if serving the app to a browser, regardless of whether the sqlite plugin is available. Thanks. So, question still stands: where is the data stored (when the sqlite plugin is installed or when WebSQL is installed)? – jmilloy Sep 02 '16 at 02:25

    if you open the chrome debugger and click applications, you can see the database(s) that hold the data... also see this for ios - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4644158/how-to-view-the-data-in-sqlite-file-running-in-iphone-application?noredirect=1&lq=1 – Aaron Saunders Sep 02 '16 at 02:42

The default database file name within the app storage folder will be '__ionicstorage' per the source here:
