idb-wrapper

IDBWrapper is a cross-browser wrapper for the HTML5 IndexedDB API. While this API is the future of offline storage, it is not very intuitive to use. IDBWrapper is there to provide easy access to IndexedDB's features.

##Browser Support

IDBWrapper works on all browsers supporting the IndexedDB API, which are:

Desktop

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Opera 15+
• IE 10+
• Safari 8+

Mobile

• Chrome for Android
• Firefox for Android
• Opera for Android
• IE10 for WP8
• iOS 8+

Worker IDBWrapper runs inside of a worker on following browsers:

• Chrome (also on Android)
• Firefox (also on Android)
• Opera (also on Android)
• IE10+ (also on WP8+)

If using in an older browser supporting WebSql along with IndexedDBShim, IndexedDBShim needs to run first.

Note on limited/buggy IndexedDB support:

• IE has limited support, which can be fixed by including idb-iegap
• Safari has buggy support, which can be fixed by using the above mentioned shim
