1. Introduction

IndexedDB is an in-browser database with slightly more advantages than other in-browser databases. For example more storage space, support more complex data structure. Although it APIs are complex to use.

ClientDB.js is a wrapper for IndexedDB with simple APIs, all requests return a promise.

Features:

• ✅ Basic CRUD (create, read, update, delete) data records backed by sophisticated IndexedDB
• ✅ Filter data using keys/indices
• ✅ Event subscribers (subscribe event when insert, remove, and update)
• TODO: paging, limit, relationship

2. Quickstart

var stores = [{
    name: "Users",
    keys: {
        firstName: false,
        lastName: false,
        username: true
    }
}]

var myDB = new ClientDB({ stores });

// Insert
myDB.collect("Users").insert({
    _id: 'your_own_id', // auto 
    firstName: 'Peter',
    lastName: 'Griffin',
    username: 'peter_grif' // is unique
})
.then(({ items, changes}) => {
    
    // items => Array(1) => [{ added record }]
    // changes => { inserted: 1, removed: 0, updated: 0, unchage: 0 }
})
.catch(error => {

    // error => { message }
})
