IDBObjectStore.getKey()

The getKey() method of the IDBObjectStore interface returns an IDBRequest object, and, in a separate thread, returns the key selected by the specified query. This is for retrieving specific records from an object store.

If a key is successfully found, then a structured clone of it is created and set as the result of the request object.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers

Syntax

var request = objectStore.getKey(key);

Parameters

key

The key or key range that identifies the record to be retrieved.

Return Value

An IDBRequest object on which subsequent events related to this operation are fired.

Exceptions

This method may raise a DOMException of one of the following types:

Exception Description

  let yesterday = new Date(today);
  yesterday.setDate(today.getDate() - 1);
  let request = store.getKey(IDBKeyRange(yesterday, today));
