The readyState
read-only property of the IDBRequest
interface returns the state of the request.
Every request starts in the pending
state. The state changes to done
when the request completes successfully or when an error occurs.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Syntax
var currentReadyState = request.readyState;
Value
The IDBRequestReadyState
of the request, which takes one of the following two values:
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
pending |
The request is pending. |
done |

Example
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 readyState
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"; // Open up a transaction as usual var objectStore = db.transaction(['toDoList'], "readwrite").objectStore('toDoList'); // Get the to-do list object that has this title as it's title var objectStoreTitleRequest = objectStore.get(title); objectStoreTitleRequest.onsuccess = function() { // Grab the data object returned as the result var data = objectStoreTitleRequest.result; // Update the notified value in the object to "yes" data.notified = "yes"; // Create another request that inserts the item // back into the database var updateTitleRequest = objectStore.put(data); // Log the source of this request console.log("The readyState of this request is " + updateTitlerequest.readyState); // When this new request succeeds, run the displayData() // function again to update the display updateTitleRequest.onsuccess = function() { displayData(); }; };
