How to share an indexedDb

Hello friends, pretty new to nuxt and js/ts, so maybe a trivial question there, forgive me. How do I instantiate an indexedb and access it through all of my nuxt app ? Many thanks

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.hooks.hookOnce('app:suspense:resolve', () => {
    isHydrated.value = true

    const db_open_request = window.indexedDB.open("app");
    db_open_request.onerror = (event) => {
      let indexedDb = false
    };
    db_open_request.onupgradeneeded = (event) => {
      const db = event.target!.result
      const objectStore = db.createObjectStore("data");
    }
    db_open_request.onsuccess = (event) => {
      let ddb = event.target!.result // how do I share this
      let indexedDb = true // and maybe this too

      ddb.onerror = (event: Event) => {
        console.error(`Database error: ${event.target!.errorCode}`);
      };
    };

  })
})

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.hooks.hookOnce('app:suspense:resolve', () => {
    isHydrated.value = true

    const db_open_request = window.indexedDB.open("app");
    db_open_request.onerror = (event) => {
      let indexedDb = false
    };
    db_open_request.onupgradeneeded = (event) => {
      const db = event.target!.result
      const objectStore = db.createObjectStore("data");
    }
    db_open_request.onsuccess = (event) => {
      let ddb = event.target!.result // how do I share this
      let indexedDb = true // and maybe this too

      ddb.onerror = (event: Event) => {
        console.error(`Database error: ${event.target!.errorCode}`);
      };
    };

  })
})

Check out localforage. Makes working with IndexedDB a breeze. Pair it with a composable - or a plugin as you have - to achieve your desired result. here's a modified version using useState

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  const idb = useState<{
    ddb: IDBDatabase | undefined,
    indexedDB: boolean
  }>('idb', () => ({
    ddb: undefined,
    indexedDB: false,
  }))

  nuxtApp.hooks.hookOnce('app:suspense:resolve', () => {
    // isHydrated.value = true

    const db_open_request = window.indexedDB.open('app')
    db_open_request.onerror = (event) => {
      idb.value.indexedDB = false
    }
    db_open_request.onupgradeneeded = (event) => {
      const db = event.target!.result
      const objectStore = db.createObjectStore('data')
    }
    db_open_request.onsuccess = (event) => {
      const ddb = event.target!.result
      idb.value.ddb = ddb
      idb.value.indexedDB = true

      ddb.onerror = (event: Event) => {
        console.error(`Database error: ${event.target!.errorCode}`)
      }
    }
  })

  return {
    provide: {
      idb,
    },
  }
})

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  const idb = useState<{
    ddb: IDBDatabase | undefined,
    indexedDB: boolean
  }>('idb', () => ({
    ddb: undefined,
    indexedDB: false,
  }))

  nuxtApp.hooks.hookOnce('app:suspense:resolve', () => {
    // isHydrated.value = true

    const db_open_request = window.indexedDB.open('app')
    db_open_request.onerror = (event) => {
      idb.value.indexedDB = false
    }
    db_open_request.onupgradeneeded = (event) => {
      const db = event.target!.result
      const objectStore = db.createObjectStore('data')
    }
    db_open_request.onsuccess = (event) => {
      const ddb = event.target!.result
      idb.value.ddb = ddb
      idb.value.indexedDB = true

      ddb.onerror = (event: Event) => {
        console.error(`Database error: ${event.target!.errorCode}`)
      }
    }
  })

  return {
    provide: {
      idb,
    },
  }
})

Thanks you very much, I'll try that ! I didn't know of this return provide syntax I couldn't use idb in my stores (not found), so I used a composable and it seems to work fine ! Thanks mate

pyplacca•7mo ago

make sure the idb plugin is registered before the store

WildOP•7mo ago

Sorry I don't know how to check that ^^

pyplacca•7mo ago

you can rename the plugin to 1.{name}.ts the number prefix dictates the order in which the plugins are registered. if no numbers is specified, the plugins will be registered in alphabetical order. https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/plugins#registration-order

WildOP•7mo ago

I saw that, but the stores are in their own folder

pyplacca•7mo ago

can you share a screenshot of your directory structure?

WildOP•7mo ago

sure !

pyplacca•7mo ago

how are the stores registered? Pinia?

WildOP•7mo ago

yes

pyplacca•7mo ago

wait, are you in ssr mode?

WildOP•7mo ago

probably so

pyplacca•7mo ago

or is it a SSG site?

WildOP•7mo ago

I have an hydration stuff to fill the store only on the client

pyplacca•7mo ago

hmmm. since Pinia runs on the server side as well I'm thinking the plugin won't work because you're only registering it on the client side. I'm not sure how the hydration stuff you've got affects Pinia's ssr capabilities but I get idb.client.ts makes sense because it's a browser API

WildOP•7mo ago

someone helped me setup an onHydration hook so all the same except most of my stores are all empties after hydration and check the localstorage(now) indexdb is the target well my way of doing idb is faillible, if I load directly a page with a store the idb is empty yeah I cant get it to work, ref is always empty if the starting page has an indexeddb. it feels like the plugin is properly called in both cases, but the indexedbd calls being async make the ref/state update "late" and when store calls it it's empty instead of referring to the db actually if the page could wait on the plugin somehow maybe it could help

pyplacca•7mo ago

With this, I suspect the issue might be with the order in which the idb and pinia plugins are registered Plugins are registered before any component renders

pyplacca•7mo ago

Assuming you were handling the registration of the stores yourself, you could’ve done something like this https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/plugins#plugins-with-dependencies

Nuxt

plugins/ · Nuxt Directory Structure

Nuxt has a plugins system to use Vue plugins and more at the creation of your Vue application.

WildOP•7mo ago

well simple console.log confirms this

pyplacca•7mo ago

Yeah, but it seems fine when you log it in a watcher or view it in your template Have you tried awaiting it?

WildOP•7mo ago

I tried awaiting the idb.value, but since the ref is undefined it doesn't do anything

pyplacca•7mo ago

Can you provide a demo link? Maybe I could check it out and provide better assistance if possible

WildOP•7mo ago

any website reco for this ?

seems pretty representative maybe I should make this a pinia plugin, maybe it'll be loaded right then

Oh Pinia has plugins? Didn’t know that. Try that let’s see I’ve personally not had trouble working with IndexedBD in a Pinia store even with SSR enabled

WildOP•7mo ago

Lol this is unfair xD Maybe I thinking about it all wrong is my stackblitz fine or should I redo it with nuxt.new ?

pyplacca•7mo ago

I just left home. I’ll check it out when I return

WildOP•7mo ago

I'd love an example as I am not that versed in js/nuxt world but it seems exactly like what I am trying to do, I'm having a hard type with the async and onsuccess events I am trying to initialize the indexeddb only once and then share a ref (not vue ref because I don't think reactivity is usefull here) to avoid all the onsuccess/ onerror boilerplate, is that what you do in your composable ? We used a plugin with @pyplacca to instanciate our db, can this be bypassed with just using a composable ? can you do mycomposable.transaction... in your stores ? or should this be handled in the composable itself ? oh I see, you're using the localforage mentionned. I see the plugin is nuxt2 only, you use localforage directly ? Thanks for the code sample I am very close ! @pyplaca still a order issue thing, I found here https://medium.com/testing-nuxt-applications/introduction-to-nuxt-plugins-and-modules-7f10887ef31b that nuxt load Modules then plugin. So as a pinia plugin, it get loaded before other plugin. However, the time it take to resolve is enough to break the store, which starts hydrating before the plugin finished its' async stuff ! In parts due to me switchin from my homemade onHydrated trigger for the hydrate pinia function. I see that if I was waiting for it, it would work. Any idea of how I could nicely wait for the plugin to resolve ? the last blitz : https://stackblitz.com/edit/nuxt-starter-swapms?file=plugins%2Fpinia.client.ts actually pinia plugins seem to be loaded on every store mount, not what I'm looking for I changed my approach : like L422Y, I use a store. The store has a internal state, where i store the ref to my IndexedDb. When I access my db, I go through a computed getter which fetch the db if it is initialized, otherwise it set it. And I use my store where need be
