then being logged. For a full example, see our
To-do Notifications
app (view example live).
js
// Let us open our database
const DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4);
// these two event handlers act on the database being
// opened successfully, or not
DBOpenRequest.onerror = (event) => {
note.innerHTML += "<li>Error loading database.</li>";
};
DBOpenRequest.onsuccess = (event) => {
note.innerHTML += "<li>Database initialized.</li>";
// store the result of opening the database in the db variable. This is used a lot below
db = DBOpenRequest.result;
// This line will log the name of the database, which should be "toDoList"
console.log(db.name);
};
