Nuestros voluntarios aún no han traducido este artículo al Español. Únete a nosotros y ayúdanos a traducirlo

The delete() method of the IDBObjectStore interface returns an IDBRequest object, and, in a separate thread, deletes the specified record. This is for deleting individual records out of an object store.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

Syntax

var request = objectStore.delete(recordKey);

Return value

An IDBRequest object on which subsequent events related to this operation are fired. The request.result attribute is set to undefined.

Exceptions

This method may raise a DOMException of the following types:

Exception Description
TransactionInactiveError This IDBCursor's transaction is inactive.
ReadOnlyError The transaction mode is read-only.
InvalidStateError The cursor was created using IDBindex.openKeyCursor, is currently being iterated, or has iterated past its end.
DataError The key is not a valid key or a key range
 

Example

In the following code snippet, we open a read/write transaction on our database and delete one specific record out of our object store using delete() — a sample record with the key "Walk dog". For a full working example, see our To-do Notifications app (view example live.)

// Let us open our database
var DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4);

DBOpenRequest.onsuccess = function(event) {
  note.innerHTML += '<li>Database initialised.</li>';
    
  // store the result of opening the database in the db variable. This is used a lot below
  db = DBOpenRequest.result;
    
  // Run the deleteData() function to delete a record from the database
  deleteData();
};

function deleteData() {
  // open a read/write db transaction, ready for deleting the data
  var transaction = db.transaction(["toDoList"], "readwrite");

  // report on the success of opening the transaction
  transaction.oncomplete = function(event) {
    note.innerHTML += '<li>Transaction completed: database modification finished.</li>';
  };


  transaction.onerror = function(event) {
    note.innerHTML += '<li>Transaction not opened due to error: ' + transaction.error + '</li>';
  };

  // create an object store on the transaction
  var objectStore = transaction.objectStore("toDoList");

  // Delete the specified record out of the object store
  var objectStoreRequest = objectStore.delete("Walk dog");

  objectStoreRequest.onsuccess = function(event) {
    // report the success of our delete operation
    note.innerHTML += '<li>Record deleted.</li>';
  };
};

Parameters

Key
The key of the object(s) to be deleted.
