IndexedDB API mock

Unit tested mock implementation of the browser IndexedDB API. Conforms as closely as possible to the W3C Indexed Database API (version 1.0).

Important: There are two outstanding features from the IndexedDB 1.0 spec that are not supported by this mock:

• Enforcing constraint for unique indexes (throw DOMException('DataError') on put() and add() etc).
• Indexes with array (multiple) keypaths and support for the multiEntry flag.

Please note: This mock supports the getAll() method without any optional params, functionality added in the 2.0 spec, but it does not support other functionality added in the 2.0 spec, such as getKey(), getAllKeys() and openKeyCursor()

Installation

npm install shelving-mock-indexeddb

Usage

Example: Using IndexedDB mock for Jest tests

This example shows the IndexedDB mock in use for testing including requiring the mock, making it global (so your code can access it through window.indexedDB, as it would in a browser), and inserting/reading records.

// Require the mock.
const { IDBFactory, IDBKeyRange, reset } = require('shelving-mock-indexeddb');

// Create an IDBFactory at window.indexedDB so your code can use IndexedDB.
window.indexedDB = new IDBFactory();

// Make IDBKeyRange global so your code can create key ranges.
window.IDBKeyRange = IDBKeyRange;

// Reset the IndexedDB mock before/after tests.
// This will clear all object stores, indexes, and data.
beforeEach(() => reset());
afterEach(() => reset());

// The IndexedDB mock uses setTimeout() to simulate the asyncronous API.
// Add fake timers before/after tests to ensure the asyncronous responses are received by the test.
beforeEach(() => jest.useFakeTimers());
afterEach(() => jest.runAllTimers());

// Your tests...
test('etc', () => {

	// Simple IndexedDB example.
	// Open a connection to IndexedDB database (version 1).
	const request = window.indexedDB.open('myDatabase', 1);

	// 'upgradeneeded' will be called as the IndexedDB currently doesn't contain any object stores or data.
	request.addEventListener('upgradeneeded', () => {

		// Create an object store.
		// IDBDatabase object is accessed by request.result
		const store = request.result.createObjectStore('myStore', { keyPath: 'id', autoIncrement: true });

		// Create some indexes on some additional properties in the stores.
		const index = store.createIndex('myNameIndex', 'name');
		const index = store.createIndex('myLengthIndex', 'length');

	});

	// 'success' will be called after the 'upgradeneeded' event.
	request.addEventListener('success', () => {

		// Create a readwrite transaction and put some data into the store.
		const putTransaction = request.result.transaction(['myStore'], 'readwrite');
		const putStore = putTransaction.objectStore('myStore');
		putStore.put({ name: 'Fusilli', length: 4 }); // ID: 1
		putStore.put({ name: 'Spaghetti', length: 22 }); // ID: 2
		putStore.put({ name: 'Linguini', length: 28 }); // ID: 3
		putStore.put({ name: 'Tagliatteli', length: 22 }); // ID: 4

		// Create a readonly transaction and read back the data.
		const getTransaction = request.result.transaction(['myStore'], 'readonly');
		const getStore = getTransaction.objectStore('myStore');
		getStore.get(2).addEventListener('success', (event) => {
			// Result is { id: 2, name: 'Spaghetti'...
			console.log('Found', event.target.result);
		});
		getStore.get(4).addEventListener('success', (event) => {
			// Result is { id: 4, name: 'Tagliatteli'...
			console.log('Found', event.target.result);
		});

		// Create a readonly transaction and count some data that matches the queries.
		const indexTransaction = request.result.transaction(['myStore'], 'readonly');
		const indexStore = indexTransaction.objectStore('myStore');
		const lengthIndex = indexStore.index('myLengthIndex');
		const nameIndex = indexStore.index('myNameIndex');
		nameIndex.count('Fusilli').addEventListener('success', (event) => { 
			// Result is 1.
			console.log('Found ' + event.target.result + ' pasta called Fusilli');
		});
		lengthIndex.count(IDBKeyRange.upperBound(20)).addEventListener('success', (event) => { 
			// Result is 3.
			console.log('Found ' + event.target.result + ' pastas with length > 20');
		});

	});

});

API

IndexedDB

This mock is conformant to the W3C Indexed Database API (version 1.0). Once required and set as global (see the example above), it will work like the standard IndexedDB API.

For additional usage examples of the IndexedDB API see the Mozilla IndexedDB API documentation.

For reference, this mock provides the following objects from the IndexedDB API:

• IDBFactory
• IDBDatabase
• IDBTransaction
• IDBRequest
• IDBOpenDBRequest
• IDBObjectStore
• IDBIndex
• IDBKeyRange
• IDBCursor
• IDBCursorWithValue

Reset

• reset() Resets all data in the database. Clears all version, object stores, and data.

Todo

• [ ] Enforce constraint for unique indexes (throw DOMException('DataError') on put() and add() etc).
• [ ] Allow indexes with array (multiple) keypaths and support for multiEntry flag.
• [ ] Add support for [https://w3c.github.io/IndexedDB/#async-api](Indexed Database API 2.0) features.
