idb VS localForage

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"

Not really an answer but have you looked into https://github.com/localForage/localForage

I may not be pointing you in the right direction but, please read about [IndexDB storage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB\_API) method and packages like [localForage](https://localforage.github.io/localForage/) that use it under the hood.

LocalForage: this is a wrapper around IndexedDB, WebSQL, LocalStorage, and SessionStorage with a way to define more interfaces (called drivers) *for additional storage solutions. It does a great job handling all your serialization needs, it is **asynchronous **and handles a large set of data types. Its **API resembles Web Storage API* and it is ridiculously simple to learn.

Depending on what kind of storage requirements you have, LocalForage might be a good fit. It provides a unified API to access WebSQL, indexedDB or localStorage.

I find localForage is pretty helpful for this stuff https://github.com/localForage/localForage

localForage (https://localforage.github.io/localForage/) mirrors localStorage syntax, but uses IndexedDB in the background. If that's not supported, it uses WebSQL and then LocalStorage

This is why we have localForage.
