indexeddb-getall-shim

IndexedDB-getAll-shim

A shim/polyfill for supporting IDBObjectStore.getAll, IDBIndex.getAll, IDBObjectStore.getAllKeys, and IDBIndex.getAllKeys.

Browser support

TLDR: As of late 2019, you should probably use this shim if you're using getAll or getAllKeys, unless you can guarantee all your users are on recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

Details:

Chrome and Firefox - getAll and getAllKeys have been supported for years. This library is not needed unless you're supporting really old versions.

Edge and IE - no support for getAll or getAllKeys, except in the latest Edge beta. You'll find this library useful if you need to support Edge or IE.

Safari - has supported getAll and getAllKeys since version 10.1. However, there's a really nasty bug in Safari 10.1 where using getAll inside a web worker crashes the browser. This library works around that bug. I know 10.1 is kind of old these days, but it's still out there, and a hard crash of the browser is really bad.

Usage

Install it with npm:

npm install --save indexeddb-getall-shim

or yarn:

yarn add indexeddb-getall-shim

and include it like this:

require("indexeddb-getall-shim");

or this:

import "indexeddb-getall-shim";

Don't you just love all the options of the JavaScript ecosystem? :)

Alternatively, if you don't want to mess around with npm, you can just include IndexedDB-getAll-shim.js on your page. To see an example of how this, look in example.html.
