IndexedDB - Promise Wrapper

Promises, pke callbacks, are a technique of telpng what you want your code to perform once an asynchronous operation completes without stopping the runtime’s thread of javascript.

Instead of supplying a callback to an asynchronous function to run after it completes, promises can be used instead.

Promise pbrary was created by Jake Archibald and it uses promises rather than events.

It is easier to use than the traditional IndexedDB. It simppfies the API while still maintaining its structure.

Here we are showing the enhancements only as to why we can use the Promised pbrary to know more about it you can visit the following website −

It has a few enhancements −

IDBDatabase

IDBTransaction

IDBCursor

IDBDatabase

Shortcuts to get or set from an object store

const value = await db.get(storeName, key);
await db.put(storeName, value, key);

Shortcuts to get from an Index

const value = await db.getFromIndex(storeName, indexName, key);

IDBTransaction

tx.store

If a transaction is a single store the store property references the store or else it is undefined then we use

const tx = db.transaction( any transaction );
const store = tx.store;
tx.objectStore(storeName);

tx.done

The .done promise resolves when a transaction is completed successfully else it rejects with a transaction error.

const tx = db.transaction(storeName,  readwrite );
await Promise.all([
   tx.store.add( one ,  two ),
   tx.store.put( three ,  four ),
   tx.done,
]);

IDBCursor

The cursor advance methods are −

Advance

Continue

ContinuePrimaryKey

They return a promise to cursor or else it returns null.

let cursor = await db.transaction(storeName).store.openCursor();
while (cursor) {
   document.write(cursor.key, cursor.value);
   cursor = await cursor.continue();
}
