IDBObjectStore: transaction property

In the following code snippet, we open a read/write transaction on our database and add some data to an object store using add(). After the object store has been created, we log objectStore.transaction to the console. For a full working example, see our To-do Notifications app (view example live).

js

// Let us open our database const DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4); DBOpenRequest.onsuccess = (event) => { note.appendChild(document.createElement("li")).textContent = "Database initialized."; // 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 to insert 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 the transaction completing, when everything is done transaction.oncomplete = (event) => { note.appendChild(document.createElement("li")).textContent = "Transaction completed."; }; transaction.onerror = (event) => { note.appendChild(document.createElement("li")).textContent = "Transaction not opened due to error. Duplicate items not allowed."; }; // create an object store on the transaction const objectStore = transaction.objectStore("toDoList"); console.log(objectStore.transaction); // Make a request to add our newItem object to the object store const objectStoreRequest = objectStore.add(newItem[0]); objectStoreRequest.onsuccess = (event) => { // report the success of our request note.appendChild(document.createElement("li")).textContent = "Request successful."; }; }
