IDBObjectStore.autoIncrement
The autoIncrement
read-only property of the
IDBObjectStore
interface returns the value of the auto increment flag
for this object store.
Note that every object store has its own separate auto increment counter.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers
Value
A boolean value:
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
true |

false |
The object store does not auto increment. |
Examples
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.autoIncrement
to
the console. For a full working example, see
our To-do Notifications app
(view example live.)
// Let us open our database
var DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4);
DBOpenRequest.onsuccess = function(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;
// 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.autoIncrement);
// 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>';
};
};
