The version property of the IDBDatabase interface is a 64-bit integer that contains the version of the connected database. When a database is first created, this attribute is an empty string.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Syntax
db.version
Value
An integer containing the version of the connected database.
Example
// Let us open our database
var DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4);
// these two event handlers act on the database being opened successfully, or not
DBOpenRequest.onerror = function(event) {
note.innerHTML += '<li>Error loading database.</li>';
};
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;
// This line will log the version of the connected database, which should be "4"
console.log(db.version);
};
