The count()
method of the IDBObjectStore
interface returns an IDBRequest
object, and, in a separate thread,
returns the total number of records that match the provided key or
IDBKeyRange
. If no arguments are provided, it returns the total number
of records in the store.
Note:
This feature is available in Web Workers.Syntax
var request = ObjectStore.count();
var request = ObjectStore.count(query);
Parameters
- query Optional
- A key or
IDBKeyRange
object that specifies a range of records you want to count.
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 |

InvalidStateError |
This IDBObjectStore has been deleted. |

Example
In this simple fragment we create a transaction, retrieve an object store, then count
the number of records in the store using count()
— when the success handler
fires, we log the count value (an integer) to the console.
var transaction = db.transaction(['fThings'], 'readonly');
var objectStore = transaction.objectStore('fThings');
var countRequest = objectStore.count();
countRequest.onsuccess = function() {
console.log(countRequest.result);
}
