IDBKeyRange: only() static method

The only() method of the IDBKeyRange interface creates a new key range containing a single value.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers

Syntax

IDBKeyRange.only(value)

Parameters

value

The value for the new key range.

Return value

IDBKeyRange: The newly created key range.

Exceptions

DataError DOMException

Thrown if the value parameter was not a valid key.

Examples

The following example illustrates how you'd use an only key range. Here we declare a keyRangeValue = IDBKeyRange.only("A"); — a range that only includes the value "A". We open a transaction (using IDBTransaction) and an object store, and open a Cursor with IDBObjectStore.openCursor, declaring keyRangeValue as its optional key range value. This means that the cursor will only retrieve the record with the key value "A".

Note: For a more complete example allowing you to experiment with key range, have a look at our IDBKeyRange repo (view the example live too.)

function displayData() {
  const keyRangeValue = IDBKeyRange.only("A");

  const transaction = db.transaction(["fThings"], "readonly");
  const objectStore = transaction.objectStore("fThings");

  objectStore.openCursor(keyRangeValue).onsuccess = (event) => {
    const cursor = event.target.result;
    if (cursor) {
      const listItem = document.createElement("li");
      listItem.textContent = `${cursor.value.fThing}, ${cursor.value.fRating}`;
      list.appendChild(listItem);

      cursor.continue();
    } else {
      console.log("Entries all displayed.");
    }
  };
}
