The upperBound()
method of the IDBKeyRange
interface creates a new upper-bound key range.
By default, it includes the upper endpoint value and is closed.
Syntax
myKeyRange = IDBKeyRange.upperBound("Z", true);
Returns
IDBKeyRange
: The newly created key range.
Exceptions
This method may raise a DOMException
of the following type:
Exception | Description |
---|---|
DataError |
The value parameter passed was not a valid key. |
Example
The following example illustrates how you'd use a lower bound key range. Here we declare keyRangeValue = IDBKeyRange.upperBound("M", true);
— a range that includes the value "M" and everything before it. We open a transaction (using IDBTransaction
) and an object store, and open a Cursor with IDBObjectStore.openCursor
, declaring keyRangeValue
as its optional key range value. This means that the cursor will only retrieve the record with the key value "M" and all that come before it. If we used IDBKeyRange.upperBound("M", true);
, then the range would not include "M"; only the values before it.
Note: For a more complete example allowing you to experiment with key range, have a look at our IDBKeyRange-example repo (view the example live too.)
function displayData() { var keyRangeValue = IDBKeyRange.upperBound("F"); var transaction = db.transaction(['fThings'], 'readonly'); var objectStore = transaction.objectStore('fThings'); objectStore.openCursor(keyRangeValue).onsuccess = function(event) { var cursor = event.target.result; if(cursor) { var listItem = document.createElement('li'); listItem.innerHTML = '<strong>' + cursor.value.fThing + '</strong>, ' + cursor.value.fRating; list.appendChild(listItem); cursor.continue(); } else { console.log('Entries all displayed.'); } }; };
Parameters
- bound
- The value of the upper bound of the range.
- open
- Optional. If false (default value), the range includes the lower-bound value.
