Dexie.js

Use it when

• Your PWA or web app needs structured offline storage with indexes and queries, and raw IndexedDB code has become a tangle of transactions, event callbacks, and browser quirks.
• You are storing app data client-side in Electron or Capacitor apps and need bulk writes, indexed range queries, and live queries that update React components as data changes.

What it solves

Not the fit when

• server-side databases; it wraps the browser's IndexedDB
• multi-device sync, auth, or collaboration without the separate Dexie Cloud service
• legacy dexie-observable and dexie-syncable addons are deprecated and unmaintained
• server-side persistence
• cross-device sync, authentication, or collaboration without the separate Dexie Cloud addon
• relational SQL querying

Install

npm install dexie  # or import from https://unpkg.com/dexie/dist/modern/dexie.mjs

Invoke

import { Dexie } from 'dexie'; const db = new Dexie('FriendDatabase'); db.version(1).stores({friends: '++id, age'}); await db.friends.add({name: 'Alice', age: 21}); const young = await db.friends.where('age').below(30).toArray();
