idb VS Dexie.js

From this github issue and pr it seems to be a limitation with how union works in TypeScript.

I've worked on a core async app that used indexeddb heavily, but instead of using the indexeddb apis directly I used https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb for a the promise API. Worked well.

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.

This was also the library I landed on: Github link

I had good luck using IDB ( https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb ) It makes using IndexedDB easy.

That entire chunk of code is copied from a library https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb

So that kind of ends this simple setup. It's incredible how little help you're able to find online regarding all of this, so hopefully this will help myself in the future, and maybe some lost soul will stumble upon it as well. There's loads of other features that can be used, but I won't get into that right now. You can find more examples on Jake Archibald's library readme: https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb

I've had good experiences with

https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb

It's basically a promise-based version of the standard API.

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "idb"

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.
