The source
read-only property of the IDBRequest
interface returns the source of the request, such as an Index or an object store. If no source exists (such as when calling indexedDB.open
), it returns null.
An object representing the source of the request, such as an IDBIndex
, IDBObjectStore
or IDBCursor
.
The following example requests a given record title, onsuccess
gets the associated record from the IDBObjectStore
(made available as objectStoreTitleRequest.result
), updates one property of the record, and then puts the updated record back into the object store in another request. The source of the 2nd request is logged to the developer console. For a full working example, see our To-do Notifications app (view example live.)
var title = "Walk dog";
var objectStore = db.transaction(['toDoList'], "readwrite").objectStore('toDoList');
var objectStoreTitleRequest = objectStore.get(title);
objectStoreTitleRequest.onsuccess = function() {
var data = objectStoreTitleRequest.result;
data.notified = "yes";
var updateTitleRequest = objectStore.put(data);
console.log("The source of this request is " + updateTitleRequest.source);
updateTitleRequest.onsuccess = function() { displayData(); };
};
