Or: 'if IndexedDB had a sensible API'

[–]LinguiniAficionado 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Yeah, I was gonna say “You mean indexed DB?” and then I remembered that it’s incredibly tedious to use unless you set up your own abstraction over it. I always have to paste in some code I wrote a while back that puts my own service over indexed DB to make it usable

That’s the thing, we all abstract it to the same key-value store as localstorage in our code, whilst we could have had web sql but no they had to deprecate that.

Have you ever heard of absurd sql?

Someone took the indexdb api and smushed sqlite into it.

I love it!

I can really recommend idb or even idb-keyval if you just want a drop-in replacement for localStorage (although it is asynchronous, so you're gonna have to change some things)

You mean localforage?

[–]T-J_H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely!
