The transaction
read-only property of the IDBObjectStore
interface returns the transaction object to which this object store belongs.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Syntax
var myTransaction = objectStore.transaction;
Value
An IDBTransaction
object.
Example
In the following code snippet, we open a read/write transaction on our database and add some data to an object store using add()
. After the object store has been created, we log objectStore.transaction to the console. For a full working example, see our To-do Notifications app ([[../../../../../../../mdn.github.io/to-do-notifications/index|view example live]].)
// Let us open our database
var DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4);
DBOpenRequest.onsuccess = function(event) {
note.innerHTML += '<li>Database initialised.</li>';
// store the result of opening the database in the db variable.
// This is used a lot below
db = DBOpenRequest.result;
// Run the addData() function to add the data to the database
addData();
};
function addData() {
// Create a new object ready to insert into the IDB
var newItem = [ { taskTitle: "Walk dog", hours: 19, minutes: 30, day: 24, month: "December", year: 2013, notified: "no" } ];
// open a read/write db transaction, ready for adding the data
var transaction = db.transaction(["toDoList"], "readwrite");
// report on the success of the transaction completing, when everything is done
transaction.oncomplete = function(event) {
note.innerHTML += '<li>Transaction completed.</li>';
};
transaction.onerror = function(event) {
note.innerHTML += '<li>Transaction not opened due to error. Duplicate items not allowed.</li>';
};
// create an object store on the transaction
var objectStore = transaction.objectStore("toDoList");
console.log(objectStore.transaction);
// Make a request to add our newItem object to the object store
var objectStoreRequest = objectStore.add(newItem[0]);
objectStoreRequest.onsuccess = function(event) {
// report the success of our request
note.innerHTML += '<li>Request successful.</li>';
};
};
