IDBTransaction: complete event

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The complete event of the IndexedDB API is fired when the transaction has successfully committed, which is either after you explicit call IDBTransaction.commit() or when all requests have been successfully completed, and after handling their results, no new requests have been placed. See IDBTransaction for more information.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js
addEventListener("complete", (event) => { })

oncomplete = (event) => { }

Event type

A generic Event.

Examples

Using addEventListener():

js
// Open the database
const DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4);

DBOpenRequest.onupgradeneeded = (event) => {
  const db = event.target.result;

  db.onerror = () => {
    console.log("Error creating database");
  };

  // Create an objectStore for this database
  const objectStore = db.createObjectStore("toDoList", {
    keyPath: "taskTitle",
  });

  // define what data items the objectStore will contain
  objectStore.createIndex("hours", "hours", { unique: false });
  objectStore.createIndex("minutes", "minutes", { unique: false });
  objectStore.createIndex("day", "day", { unique: false });
  objectStore.createIndex("month", "month", { unique: false });
  objectStore.createIndex("year", "year", { unique: false });
};

DBOpenRequest.onsuccess = (event) => {
  const db = DBOpenRequest.result;

  // open a read/write db transaction, ready for adding the data
  const transaction = db.transaction(["toDoList"], "readwrite");

  // add a listener for `complete`
  transaction.addEventListener("complete", (event) => {
    console.log("Transaction was completed");
  });

  const objectStore = transaction.objectStore("toDoList");
  const newItem = {
    taskTitle: "my task",
    hours: 10,
    minutes: 10,
    day: 10,
    month: "January",
    year: 2019,
  };
  const objectStoreRequest = objectStore.add(newItem);

  objectStoreRequest.onsuccess = () => {
    // Issue a second request in the onsuccess handler,
    // so we can run this request after the first one completes,
    // while still reusing the same transaction
    const getAllRequest = objectStore.getAll();

    getAllRequest.onsuccess = () => {
      // No more requests, so the transaction completes after running this handler
      console.log(getAllRequest.result);
    };
  };
};
