Dexie.js VS tsyringe

The word on the street is that https://github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sqlite is nearly production ready, closing in on the neat 1.0.0 release, with its IDBBatchAtomic engine highly recommended at https://www.powersync.com/blog/sqlite-persistence-on-the-web. You can try out the benchmark https://rhashimoto.github.io/wa-sqlite/demo/benchmarks.html.

And the other contestant is Dexie, stable https://dexie.org/.

If you were to branch into a new venture today, which one would you pick? And why?

That said, there are some great ways to wrap IndexedDB to make it easier to work with. Since I’m writing this article I’ll toss in my local-first framework Verdant, which can be used without the sync features as a standalone IndexedDB-powered database with a type-safe schema and deployable data migrations. For a lighter-weight approach, maybe check out Dexie.

Using IndexedDB. I have heard its pretty cumbersome to use. There are wrappers like Dexie.js but I am not sure if it works seamlessly with Tauri or if it is the correct thing for my use case.

I use IndexedDB, specifically the idb library (https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb), or Dexie.js (https://dexie.org/) if you are more novice. This works great for large sets of data. For smaller amounts, Chrome Storage API will do.

To make things easier, Dexie.js provides a straightforward and simplified process of creating databases, storing data, updating data and database migrations, etc., over the top of indexedDB.

If you are just looking for a solution for your IndexedDB needs I find Dexie to be one of the best but depending on other needs, the others in the list are also good to consider.

Alguns frameworks trabalham desta forma por padrão, como é o caso do Angular, quando este não é o padrão do framework que utilizamos podemos usar alguma biblioteca, como a Inversify ou tsyringe da Microsoft.

We are writing a backend application that handles a data stream and provides REST and GraphQL endpoints to query and manage these data. We are using TypeScript with Express.js and TSyringe for our DI container.

This is exciting but also make be a bit nervous as my projects make extensive use of https://github.com/microsoft/tsyringe and the decorator changes are not going to play nice.

tsyringe

If you don’t want to tie yourself to a full web framework like Nest, there are a few DI-only frameworks that work with decorators, like TypeDI, TSyringe, or Typed Inject.

In next post I will show you how to using with other DI package like awilix , tsyringe, etc...

It is written in Typescript, it is modeled similarly to the Microsoft tsyringe (which I was using previously).

For existing projects, or if you don't want the weight of an opinionated framework like Nest, libraries like TypeDI and TSyringe can help.

I personally still always opt for that pattern to start with and refactoring to some sort of Reader monad as the application grows. Others may prefer instead to go the route of decorators and reflection with tsyringe.
