The open() method of the indexedDB interface requests opening a connection to a database. This method returns an IDBOpenDBRequest object immediately and performs the open operation asynchronously.
Syntax:
var IDBOpenDBRequest = indexedDB.open(name); // Or var IDBOpenDBRequest = indexedDB.open(name, version);
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- name: The name of the database to be opened.
- version (Optional): The version to open the database with.
Return value: This method returns a IDBOpenDBRequest object.
Example: In this example, we will open a database named “toDoList” using this method.
