An IDBDatabase
object.
In the following code snippet, we open a read/write transaction on our database and add some data to an object store. Note also the functions attached to transaction event handlers to report on the outcome of the transaction opening in the event of success or failure. At the end, we return the associated database connection using db
. For a full working example, see our To-do Notifications app (view example live).
js
const note = document.getElementById("notifications"); // an instance of a db object for us to store the IDB data in let db; // Let us open our database const DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4); DBOpenRequest.onsuccess = (event) => { note.innerHTML += "<li>Database initialized.</li>"; // store the result of opening the database in the db variable. // This is used a lot below db = DBOpenRequest.result; // Run the addData() function to add the data to the database addData(); }; function addData() { // Create a new object ready for being inserted into the IDB const newItem = [ { taskTitle: "Walk dog", hours: 19, minutes: 30, day: 24, month: "December", year: 2013, notified: "no", }, ]; // open a read/write db transaction, ready for adding the data const transaction = db.transaction(["toDoList"], "readwrite"); // report on the success of opening the transaction transaction.oncomplete = (event) => { note.innerHTML += "<li>Transaction completed: database modification finished.</li>"; }; transaction.onerror = (event) => { note.innerHTML += "<li>Transaction not opened due to error. Duplicate items not allowed.</li>"; }; // create an object store on the transaction const objectStore = transaction.objectStore("toDoList"); // add our newItem object to the object store const objectStoreRequest = objectStore.add(newItem[0]); objectStoreRequest.onsuccess = (event) => { // report the success of the request (this does not mean the item // has been stored successfully in the DB - for that you need transaction.onsuccess) note.innerHTML += "<li>Request successful.</li>"; }; // Return the database (IDBDatabase) connection with which this transaction is associated transaction.db; }
