typed-db

typed-db is a small promise-based entity manager for IndexedDB written entirely in TypeScript. In general it exposes almost the same API as the native IndexedDB factory, but all available methods are wrapped in promises. Additionally it allows you to define your entities in a more declarative way.

@Entity()
class Employee {
  @Key({ autoIncrement: true })
  id?: number;
 
  name: string;
 
  @Index()
  age: number;
 
  @Index()
  salary: number;
}
 
const db = new Db('myDb', 1);
db.use(Employee);
 
const getAllEmployees = () => 
  db.transaction([Employee], 'readonly', 
    tx => tx.for(Employee).openCursor().asList()
  );
 
getAllEmployees().then(employees => {
  console.log('Transaction has finished successfully.');
  console.log(employees);
})

For more query examples see tests/Db.ts :)

Install

Your environment needs support for the Reflect Metadata API, so install a proper polyfill alongside typed-db if you haven't already one :)

$ npm install typed-db reflect-metadata --save

or

$ yarn add typed-db reflect-metadata

Additionally you will need a Promise polyfill, Map polyfill and some ES2015 array functions (e.g. find). babel-polyfill satisfies all this requirements :)

API

Db

Creates the database object, opens the connection if needed and let you register your entities.

// pass in database name and version
const db = new Db('dbname', 1);
db.use(Foo);

If you increase the version number, you have to add migrations for you entites. See the migration guide for an example. (TODO)

Create a transaction:

// pass in an array of entities which are in the same transaction scope
// set the mode of the transaction, supported: readwrite | readonly
// callback with transaction (tx), return value auf this function will be the result of the transaction, can be async
db.transaction([Foo], 'readwrite', tx => {...});

@Entity

function Entity(): ClassDecorator;

Sets up a class to be used as a collection.

@Key

function Key(options?: KeyOptions): PropertyDecorator;

Indentifies a property as a primary key of the entity. You can create compound keys by applying @Key multiple times. In this case the optional options object is omitted.

@Index

Creates an index for the property its applied on.

function Index(): PropertyDecorator;
function Index(options: IDBIndexParameters): PropertyDecorator;
function Index(key: string): PropertyDecorator;
function Index(key: string, options: IDBIndexParameters): PropertyDecorator;

This decorator has multiple overloads, for examle you can create a named index by applying @Index('myIndex') or set some options @Index({ unique: true }).

You can easily create an compound index by using the same name for multiple properties:

@Entity()
class Foo {
  @Index('compoundIndex')
  age: number;
 
  @Index('compoundIndex')
  salary: number;
}
