IDBIndex: isAutoLocale property

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

Non-standard: This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

The isAutoLocale read-only property of the IDBIndex interface returns a boolean value indicating whether the index had a locale value of auto specified upon its creation (see the options parameter to IDBObjectStore.createIndex().)

Value

A boolean value.

Examples

In the following example we open a transaction and an object store, then get the index lName from a simple contacts database. We then open a basic cursor on the index using IDBIndex.openCursor — this works the same as opening a cursor directly on an ObjectStore using IDBObjectStore.openCursor except that the returned records are sorted based on the index, not the primary key.

The isAutoLocale value is logged to the console.

js

function displayDataByIndex() {
  tableEntry.innerHTML = "";
  const transaction = db.transaction(["contactsList"], "readonly");
  const objectStore = transaction.objectStore("contactsList");

  const myIndex = objectStore.index("lName");
  console.log(myIndex.isAutoLocale);

  myIndex.openCursor().onsuccess = (event) => {
    const cursor = event.target.result;
    if (cursor) {
      const tableRow = document.createElement("tr");
      tableRow.innerHTML =
        `<td>${cursor.value.id}</td>` +
        `<td>${cursor.value.lName}</td>` +
        `<td>${cursor.value.fName}</td>` +
        `<td>${cursor.value.jTitle}</td>` +
        `<td>${cursor.value.company}</td>` +
        `<td>${cursor.value.eMail}</td>` +
        `<td>${cursor.value.phone}</td>` +
        `<td>${cursor.value.age}</td>`;
      tableEntry.appendChild(tableRow);

      cursor.continue();
    } else {
      console.log("Entries all displayed.");
    }
  };
}
