IDBKeyRange: lowerOpen property

Value

A boolean value:

Value	Indication
`true`	The lower-bound value is not included in the key range.
`false`	The lower-bound value is included in the key range.

The following example illustrates how you'd use a key range. Here we declare keyRangeValue = IDBKeyRange.upperBound("F", "W", true, true); — a range that includes everything between "F" and "W" but not including them — since both the upper and lower bounds have been declared as open (true). 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.

After declaring the key range, we log its lowerOpen property value to the console, which should appear as "true": the lower bound is open, so won't be included in the range.

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

js

function displayData() { const keyRangeValue = IDBKeyRange.bound("F", "W", true, true); console.log(keyRangeValue.lowerOpen); 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."); } }; }
