Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

Syntax

Return value

IDBKeyRange: The newly created key range.

Exceptions

This method may raise a DOMException of the following types:

Exception Description
DataError

The value parameter passed was not a valid key.

 

Example

The following example illustrates how you'd use an only key range. Here we declare a keyRangeValue = IDBKeyRange.only("A"); — a range that only includes the value "A". We open a transaction (using IDBTransaction) and an object store, and open a Cursor with IDBObjectStore.openCursor, declaring keyRangeValue as its optional key range value. This means that the cursor will only retrieve the record with the key value "A".

Note: For a more complete example allowing you to experiment with key range, have a look at our IDBKeyRange-example repo (view the example live too.)

function displayData() {
  var keyRangeValue = IDBKeyRange.only("A");
  var transaction = db.transaction(['fThings'], 'readonly');
  var objectStore = transaction.objectStore('fThings');
  objectStore.openCursor(keyRangeValue).onsuccess = function(event) {
    var cursor = event.target.result;
      if(cursor) {
        var listItem = document.createElement('li');
        listItem.innerHTML = '<strong>' + cursor.value.fThing + '</strong>, ' + cursor.value.fRating;
        list.appendChild(listItem);  
        cursor.continue();
      } else {
        console.log('Entries all displayed.');
      }
    };
  };
