Dexie.js

Dexie.js is a wrapper library for indexedDB - the standard database in the browser. https://dexie.org

Why?

Dexie solves three main issues with the native IndexedDB API:

Ambiguous error handling
Poor queries
Code complexity

Dexie provides a neat database API with a well thought-through API design, robust error handling, extendability, change tracking awareness and extended KeyRange support (case insensitive search, set matches and OR operations).

Hello World

<!doctype html>
<html>
 <head>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/dexie@latest/dist/dexie.js"></script>
  <script>
   //
   // Declare Database
   //
   var db = new Dexie("FriendDatabase");
   db.version(1).stores({
     friends: "++id,name,age"
   });

   //
   // Manipulate and Query Database
   //
   db.friends.add({name: "Josephine", age: 21}).then(function() {
       return db.friends.where("age").below(25).toArray();
   }).then(function (youngFriends) {
       alert ("My young friends: " + JSON.stringify(youngFriends));
   }).catch(function (e) {
       alert ("Error: " + (e.stack || e));
   });
  </script>
 </head>
</html>

Yes, it's that simple.

An equivalent modern version (works in all modern browsers):

<!doctype html>
<html>
 <head>
  <script type="module">
   import Dexie from "https://unpkg.com/dexie@latest/dist/modern/dexie.mjs";
   //
   // Declare Database
   //
   const db = new Dexie("FriendDatabase");
   db.version(1).stores({
     friends: "++id,name,age"
   });

   //
   // Manipulate and Query Database
   //
   try {
     await db.friends.add({name: "Josephine", age: 21});
     const youngFriends = await db.friends.where("age").below(25).toArray();
     alert (`My young friends: ${JSON.stringify(youngFriends)}`);
   } catch (e) {
     alert (`Error: ${e}`);
   }
  </script>
 </head>
</html>

Performance

Dexie has kick-ass performance. Its bulk methods take advantage of a lesser-known feature in IndexedDB that makes it possible to store stuff without listening to every onsuccess event. This speeds up the performance to a maximum.

This is a mix of methods from WhereClause, Table and Collection. Dive into the API reference to see the details.

Hello World (Typescript)

import Dexie, { Table } from 'dexie';

interface Friend {
    id?: number;
    name?: string;
    age?: number;
}

//
// Declare Database
//
class FriendDatabase extends Dexie {
    public friends!: Table<Friend, number>; // id is number in this case

    public constructor() {
        super("FriendDatabase");
        this.version(1).stores({
            friends: "++id,name,age"
        });
    }
}

const db = new FriendDatabase();

db.transaction('rw', db.friends, async() => {

    // Make sure we have something in DB:
    if ((await db.friends.where({name: 'Josephine'}).count()) === 0) {
        const id = await db.friends.add({name: "Josephine", age: 21});
        alert (`Addded friend with id ${id}`);
    }

    // Query:
    const youngFriends = await db.friends.where("age").below(25).toArray();

    // Show result:
    alert ("My young friends: " + JSON.stringify(youngFriends));

}).catch(e => {
    alert(e.stack || e);
});
