A polyfill to enable IndexedDB using WebSql.
IndexedDB is not supported on all browsers. This IndexedDB polyfill exposes the IndexedDB API in unsupported browsers using WebSQL. This shim is basically an IndexedDB-WebSql adapter.

Download
To keep the code manageable, the modules are in different files. The link above is simply a concatenation of all these files.
You can build a development
or production (minified)
version by running the default task in the gruntfile. The two files will be put in the
dist
folder.
You can also concantenate them again with javascript and download that copy using this link.
Test Cases
Run the test cases
to see how the polyfill performs on your non-IndexedDB supported browser like Opera or Safari. It also works on Chrome as Chrome also has WebSQL.
This would run on devices like the iPad and the iPhone too !!
Libraries tested to work with the shim
The polyfill implements the IndexedDB API specification.
The following libraries have examples that work with the polyfill.
- JQuery-IndexedDB plugin - See example
- LINQ API for IndexedDB LINQ2IndexedDB
- PouchDB Examples - See examples
- DB.JS library - See Examples
Source Code
Fork the repository on github. The source code is licensed under Apache 2.0.
The implementation is not 100% to the spec and some work still needs to be done. There are a couple of open issues
to be fixed
