IDBRequest: result property

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The result read-only property of the IDBRequest interface returns the result of the request. If the request is not completed, the result is not available and an InvalidStateError exception is thrown.

any

Examples

The following example requests a given record title, onsuccess gets the associated record from the IDBObjectStore (made available as objectStoreTitleRequest.result), updates one property of the record, and then puts the updated record back into the object store. For a full working example, see our To-do Notifications app (View the example live).

js
const title = "Walk dog";

// Open up a transaction as usual
const objectStore = db
  .transaction(["toDoList"], "readwrite")
  .objectStore("toDoList");

// Get the to-do list object that has this title as its title
const objectStoreTitleRequest = objectStore.get(title);

objectStoreTitleRequest.onsuccess = () => {
  // Grab the data object returned as the result
  const data = objectStoreTitleRequest.result;

  // Update the notified value in the object to "yes"
  data.notified = "yes";

  // Create another request that inserts the item
  // back into the database
  const updateTitleRequest = objectStore.put(data);

  // When this new request succeeds, run the displayData()
  // function again to update the display
  updateTitleRequest.onsuccess = () => {
    displayData();
  };
};
