BlazorIndexedDbJs

This is a Blazor library for accessing IndexedDB, it uses Jake Archibald's idb library for handling access to IndexedDB API.

It tries to implement IndexedDB API with same classes and function names when possible, so you can use public documentation

This library was originally a fork from William Tulloch library Blazor.IndexedDB.

ATTENTION Current 2.3.x versions are development versions, it can suffer major changes between minor version, 2.4.x versions will be considered stable.

Advanced query functions

The filter expression is the body of a function that receives de parameter obj than handle each record of ObjectStore. The function must return an Object of type TResult, that will be included in the List<TResult> result and can be one of the following options:

for example, return a list of objects that contains the world "per" in property firstName ordered using index lastName.

List<Person> result = await theFactoryDb.Store("people").Index("lastName").Query<Person>(
    "if (obj.firstName.toLowerCase().includes('per')) return obj;"
);

Demo

Check simple Blazor WASM PWA demo in Demos BlazorIndexedDbJsClientDemo

Using the library

requires

NET 5.0 or newer

1. Install NuGet package

Install-Package BlazorIndexedDbJs

or

dotnet add package BlazorIndexedDbJs

2. Refence to BlazorIndexedDb.js library

For blazor wasm, in wwwroot\index.html

...
<body>
    ...
    <script src="_framework/blazor.webassembly.js"></script>

    <script src="_content/BlazorIndexedDbJs/BlazorIndexedDb.js"></script>
</body>

For blazor server, in Pages/_Host.cshtml

...
<body>
    ...
    <script src="_framework/blazor.server.js"></script>

    <script src="_content/BlazorIndexedDbJs/BlazorIndexedDb.js"></script>
</body>

3. create a database definition

Although it is not mandatory, because ObjectStores and Indexes can be accessed by name, it is preferable to define the database schema using classes, this facilitates refactoring and detecting errors at compile time.

Without classes

var people = await theFactoryDb.Store("Employees").Index("firstName").GetAll<Person>();

With classes

var people = await theFactoryDb.Employees.FirstName.GetAll<Person>();

Example of schema using classes:

Data/TheFactoryDb.cs

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.JSInterop;
using BlazorIndexedDbJs;

namespace BlazorIndexedDbJsClientDemo.Data
{
    public class Employees: IDBObjectStore
    {
        public IDBIndex FirstName { get; }
        public IDBIndex LastName { get; }
        public IDBIndex FullName { get; }

        public Employees(IDBDatabase database): base(database)
        {
            Name = "Employees";
            KeyPath = "id";
            AutoIncrement = true;

            FirstName = new IDBIndex(this, "firstName", "firstName");
            LastName = new IDBIndex(this, "lastName", "lastName");
            FullName = new IDBIndex(this, "fullName", "firstName,lastName");
        }
    }

    public class TheFactoryDb: IDBDatabase
    {
        public Employees Employees { get; }

        public TheFactoryDb(IJSRuntime jsRuntime): base(jsRuntime)
        {
            Name = "TheFactory";
            Version = 1;

            Employees = new Employees(this);
        }
    }
}

4. Add a scoped service for each IDBDatabase

For blazor wasm, in program.cs

    public class Program
    {
        public static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
            builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");

            builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });

            builder.Services.AddScoped<TheFactoryDb>();

            await builder.Build().RunAsync();
        }
    }

For blazor server, in startup.cs

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddRazorPages();
            services.AddServerSideBlazor();
            services.AddSingleton<WeatherForecastService>();

            services.AddScoped<TheFactoryDb>();
        }

Examples

For the following examples we are going to assume that we have Person class which is defined as follows:

    public class Person
    {
        public long? Id { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }

    }

And the data store name is "Employees"

Accessing IDBDatabase

To use IndexedDB in a component or page, first inject the IDBDatabase instance.

@inject TheFactoryDb theFactoryDb

Open database

This will create the database if it not exists and will upgrade schema to new version if it is older.

await theFactoryDb.Open()

Getting all records from a store

var people = await theFactoryDb.Employees.GetAll<Person>();

Get one record by Id

var person = await theFactoryDb.Employees.Get<long, Person>(id);

Getting one record using an index

var person = await theFactoryDb.Employees.FirstName.Get<string, Person>("John");

Getting all records from an index

var people = await theFactoryDb.Employees.FirstName.GetAll<string, Person>("John");

Adding a record to an IDBObjectStore

var newPerson = new Person() {
    FirstName = "John",
    LastName = "Doe"
};

await theFactoryDb.Employees.Add(newPerson);

Updating a record

await theFactoryDb.Employees.Put<Person>(recordToUpdate)

Deleting a record

await theFactoryDb.Employees.Delete<int>(id)

Clear all records from a store

await theFactoryDb.Employees.Clear()

Deleting the database

await theFactoryDb.DeleteDb()
