Inheritance Hierarchy

Error
- Dexie.DexieError
  - Dexie.OpenFailedError

Description

Happens when a db operation has failed due to that database couldn’t be opened.

NOTICE! Always inspect the inner property of a OpenFailedError, which will hold the reason why the call to db.open() has failed.

Sample using Promise.catch()

doSomeDatabaseWork()
  .then(function () {
    // Success
  })
  .catch(function (e) {
    // Failed with OpenFailedError
    console.error('open failed due to: ' + e.inner);
  })
  .catch(Error, function (e) {
    // Any other error derived from standard Error
    console.error('Error: ' + e.message);
  })
  .catch(function (e) {
    // Other error such as a string was thrown
    console.error(e);
  });

Sample: switch(error.name)

db.on('error', function (error) {
  switch (error.name) {
    case Dexie.errnames.OpenFailed:
      const innerError = error.inner;
      console.log('open failed due to ' + innerError.name);
      break;
    default:
      console.log('error: ' + e.message);
  }
});
