ngx-indexed-db

ngx-indexed-db is a service (CSR & SSR) that wraps IndexedDB database in an Angular service combined with the power of observables.

Installation

$ npm install ngx-indexed-db

OR

$ yarn add ngx-indexed-db

Usage

With Module

Import the NgxIndexedDBModule and initiate it:

import { NgxIndexedDBModule } from 'ngx-indexed-db';

const dbConfig: DBConfig  = {
  name: 'MyDb',
  version: 1,
  objectStoresMeta: [{
    store: 'people',
    storeConfig: { keyPath: 'id', autoIncrement: true },
    storeSchema: [
      { name: 'name', keypath: 'name', options: { unique: false } },
      { name: 'email', keypath: 'email', options: { unique: false } }
    ]
  }]
};

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    ...
    NgxIndexedDBModule.forRoot(dbConfig)
  ],
  ...
})

With Standalone API

Use provideIndexedDb and set it up:

import { provideIndexedDb, DBConfig } from 'ngx-indexed-db';

const dbConfig: DBConfig  = {
  name: 'MyDb',
  version: 1,
  objectStoresMeta: [{
    store: 'people',
    storeConfig: { keyPath: 'id', autoIncrement: true },
    storeSchema: [
      { name: 'name', keypath: 'name', options: { unique: false } },
      { name: 'email', keypath: 'email', options: { unique: false } }
    ]
  }]
};

const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [...,provideIndexedDb(dbConfig),...]
}

OR

@NgModule({
  ...
 providers:[
    ...
    provideIndexedDb(dbConfig)
  ],
  ...
})

SSR

Starting from version 19.2.0, ngx-indexed-db fully supports Server-Side Rendering (SSR). This enhancement prevents issues related to the absence of window.indexedDB in server environments.

Additionally, you can provide a custom implementation of IndexedDB using an injection token. This allows greater flexibility, especially when mocking IndexedDB for testing or in non-browser environments (like SSR).

const SERVER_INDEXED_DB = new InjectionToken<IDBFactory>('Server Indexed Db');

Migrations

import { NgxIndexedDBModule, DBConfig } from 'ngx-indexed-db';

// Ahead of time compiles requires an exported function for factories
export function migrationFactory() {
  // The animal table was added with version 2 but none of the existing tables or data needed
  // to be modified so a migrator for that version is not included.
  return {
    1: (db, transaction) => {
      const store = transaction.objectStore('people');
      store.createIndex('country', 'country', { unique: false });
    },
    3: (db, transaction) => {
      const store = transaction.objectStore('people');
      store.createIndex('age', 'age', { unique: false });
    }
  };
}

const dbConfig: DBConfig  = {
  name: 'MyDb',
  version: 3,
  objectStoresMeta: [{
    store: 'people',
    storeConfig: { keyPath: 'id', autoIncrement: true },
    storeSchema: [
      { name: 'name', keypath: 'name', options: { unique: false } },
      { name: 'email', keypath: 'email', options: { unique: false } }
    ]
  }, {
    // animals added in version 2
    store: 'animals',
    storeConfig: { keyPath: 'id', autoIncrement: true },
    storeSchema: [
      { name: 'name', keypath: 'name', options: { unique: true } },
    ]
  }],
  // provide the migration factory to the DBConfig
  migrationFactory
};

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    ...
    NgxIndexedDBModule.forRoot(dbConfig)
  ],
  ...
})

NgxIndexedDB service

Import and inject the service:

import { NgxIndexedDBService } from 'ngx-indexed-db';

...
  export class AppComponent {
    constructor(private dbService: NgxIndexedDBService){
    }
  }

API

We cover several common methods used to work with the IndexedDB

add(storeName: string, value: T, key?: any): Observable<T & {id: any}>

Adds new entry in the store and returns item added

• @param storeName The name of the store to add the item
• @param value The entry to be added
• @param key The optional key for the entry

It publishes in the observable the key value of the entry

this.dbService
  .add('people', {
    name: `Bruce Wayne`,
    email: `[email protected]`,
  })
  .subscribe((key) => {
    console.log('key: ', key);
  });

In the previous example I'm using undefined as the key because the key is configured in the objectStore as auto-generated.

bulkAdd(storeName: string, values: Array<T & { key?: any }>): Observable<number[]>

Adds new entries in the store and returns its key

• @param storeName The name of the store to add the item
• @param values The entries to be added containing optional key attribute

this.dbService
  .bulkAdd('people', [
    {
      name: `charles number ${Math.random() * 10}`,
      email: `email number ${Math.random() * 10}`,
    },
    {
      name: `charles number ${Math.random() * 10}`,
      email: `email number ${Math.random() * 10}`,
    },
  ])
  .subscribe((result) => {
    console.log('result: ', result);
  });

bulkDelete(storeName: string, keys: Key[]): Observable<number[]>

Delete multiple items in the store

• @param storeName The name of the store to delete the items
• @param keys The entries keys to be deleted

  this.dbService.bulkDelete('people', [5, 6]).subscribe((result) => {
    console.log('result: ', result);
  });

bulkGet(storeName: string, keys: Array): Observable<T[]>

Retrieve multiple entries in the store

• @param storeName The name of the store to retrieve the items
• @param keys The ids entries to be retrieve

this.dbService.bulkGet('people', [1, 3, 5]).subscribe((result) => {
    console.log('results: ', result);
  });

bulkPut(storeName: string, values: Array<T & { key?: any }>): Observable<number[]>

Adds or updates a record in store with the given value and key. Return all items present in the store

• @param storeName The name of the store to update
• @param items The values to update in the DB

@Return The return value is an Observable with the primary key of the object that was last in given array

@error If the call to bulkPut fails the transaction will be aborted and previously inserted entities will be deleted

this.dbService.bulkPut('people', people).subscribe((result) => {
  console.log('result: ', result);
});

update(storeName: string, value: T): Observable<T[]>

Adds or updates a record in store with the given value and key. Return item updated

• @param storeName The name of the store to update
• @param value The new value for the entry

this.dbService

    email: '[email protected]',
    name: 'Luke Skywalker',
  })
  .subscribe((storeData) => {
    console.log('storeData: ', storeData);
  });

Returns entry by key.

• @param storeName The name of the store to query
• @param key The entry key

getAll(storeName: string): Observable<T[]>

Return all elements from one store

• @param storeName The name of the store to select the items

  console.log(peoples);
});

getByIndex(storeName: string, indexName: string, key: IDBValidKey): Observable
