Getting Started
Dexie.js can be consumed as a module. But let’s skip that for now and just show the simplest possible setup. You will just need a text editor and a web browser.
Quick Start
- Copy this code to and save as ‘whatever.html’
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Include Dexie -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/dexie@latest/dist/dexie.js"></script>
<script>
//
// Define your database
//
var db = new Dexie("friend_database");
db.version(1).stores({
friends: 'name,shoeSize'
});
//
// Put some data into it
//
db.friends.put({name: "Nicolas", shoeSize: 8}).then (function(){
//
// Then when data is stored, read from it
//
return db.friends.get('Nicolas');
}).then(function (friend) {
//
// Display the result
//
alert ("Nicolas has shoe size " + friend.shoeSize);
}).catch(function(error) {
//
// Finally don't forget to catch any error
// that could have happened anywhere in the
// code blocks above.
//
alert ("Ooops: " + error);
});
</script>
</head>
</html>
-
Open the file in Chrome, Opera or Firefox. If you need to test on IE, Edge or Safari, make sure to serve the page over http or https
-
You should see an alert box pops up saying
Nicolas has shoe size 8
. -
Play with this file. Change some code and see what happens.
