The name
read-only property of the IDBDatabase
interface is a DOMString
that contains the name of the connected database.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Syntax
var dbName = IDBDatabase.name;
Value
A DOMString
containing the name of the connected database.
Example
This example shows a database connection being opened, the resulting IDBDatabase
object being stored in a db variable, and the name property then being logged. For a full example, see our To-do Notifications app (view example live).
// Let us open our database var DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4); // these two event handlers act on the database being // opened successfully, or not DBOpenRequest.onerror = function(event) { note.innerHTML += '<li>Error loading database.</li>'; }; 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; // This line will log the name of the database, which should be "toDoList" console.log(db.name); };
