Async IndexedDB

When I made this, I was no stranger to JavaScript or working with databases - including NoSQL - but had no experience with IndexedDB Web API, specifically. So, I used this to learn it. I hope you enjoy my experiment.

Idea #1 - Promises

I noticed quickly that the Request objects could be easily replaced with Promises, so I created a list of decorator classes I dubbed "AsyncIDB". The core change I added was the use of Async

Idea #2 - Database Versioning

After thinking deeper about the versioning process, I figured it would be useful to create schema migrations and seed the data, just like you might do with an API/server-side logic.

Idea #3 - Push-based/Reactive Development

IDBCursors really threw me for a loop (pun 100% intended). I knew Observables were push-based but figured I could still accomplish the same results with an async generator function. That is, until I found callback-to-async-iterator.

How to run

1. Manually install Node or use the included Dockerfile (see below)
2. npm install
3. npm start

Docker Setup (optional)

1. docker build -t async-indexeddb .
2. docker run --rm -it -v [cd]:/app -p 3000:3000 async-indexeddb, replacing [cd] depending on your environment:

• CMD: %CD%
• PowerShell: ${PWD}
• Linux/MacOS Terminal: $(pwd)
