Idb-schema NPM

idb-schema

IndexedDB schema manager.

This modules provides declarative schema management API for IndexedDB. And it also fixes inconsistency between browsers:

Incorrect value of oldVersion in Safari during onupgradeneeded event
InvalidAccessError in Internet Explorer, when autoIncrement or keyPath are false

Installation

npm install --save idb-schema

Use IndexedDBShim to fallback to WebSQL.

Example

import Schema from 'idb-schema'

// define schema
const schema = new Schema()
.version(1)
  .addStore('books', { key: 'isbn' })
  .addIndex('byTitle', 'title', { unique: true })
  .addIndex('byAuthor', 'author')
.version(2)
  .getStore('books')
  .addIndex('byDate', ['year', 'month'])
.version(3)
  .addStore('magazines')
  .addIndex('byPublisher', 'publisher')
  .addIndex('byFrequency', 'frequency')
.version(4)
  .getStore('magazines')
  .delIndex('byPublisher')
  .addCallback((upgradeNeededEvent) => {
    // do something custom
  })

// get schema version
schema.version() // 4

// generate callback for db.onupgradeneeded event
schema.callback()

// get description of stores
schema.stores()
// [{ name: 'books', indexes: [{..}, {..}, {..}], keyPath: 'isbn' },
//  { name: 'magazines', indexes: [{..}] }]

API

schema.callback()

Generate onupgradeneeded callback.

const req = indexedDB.open('mydb', schema.version())
req.onupgradeneeded = schema.callback()
req.onsuccess = (e) => {
  const db = e.target.result
}

schema.stores()

Get JSON representation of database schema.

        "name": "byTitle",
        "field": "title",

schema.version(number)

Get current version or set new version to number and reset current store. Use it to separate migrations on time.

schema.addStore(name, opts)

Create object store with name.

Options:

key || keyPath - primary key (default: null)
increment || autoIncrement - increment key automatically (default: false)

schema.delStore(name)

Delete store by name.

schema.getStore(name)

Switch current store. Use it to make operations with indexes.

schema.addIndex(name, field, opts)

Create index with name and to field (or array of fields).

Options:

unique - (default: false)
multi || multiEntry - (default: false)

schema.delIndex(name)

Delete index by name from current store.

schema.addCallback(cb)

Add cb to be executed at the end of the upgradeneeded event.

new Schema()
.addStore('users', { increment: true, keyPath: 'id' })
.addIndex('byName', 'name')
.addCallback((e) => {
  const users = e.target.transaction.objectStore('users')
  users.put({ name: 'Fred' })
  users.put({ name: 'Barney' })
})
