IDBVersionChangeEvent.newVersion

The newVersion property of the IDBVersionChangeEvent interface returns the new version number of the database.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

Syntax

JavaScript
<span id="idl-def-IDBVersionChangeEvent" class="idlInterface">readonly    attribute unsigned long long? <span class="idlAttrName"><a href="https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/IndexedDB/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#widl-IDBVersionChangeEvent-newVersion" class="external">newVersion</a>;</span></span>

Example

In the following code snippet, we make a request to open a database, and include handlers for the success and error cases. These events are fired via the custom IDBVersionChangeEvent interface. For a full working example, see our To-do Notifications app (view example live.)

JavaScript
var note = document.querySelector("ul");

// In the following line, you should include the prefixes of implementations you want to test.
window.indexedDB = window.indexedDB || window.mozIndexedDB || window.webkitIndexedDB || window.msIndexedDB;
// DON'T use "var indexedDB = ..." if you're not in a function.
// Moreover, you may need references to some window.IDB* objects:
window.IDBTransaction = window.IDBTransaction || window.webkitIDBTransaction || window.msIDBTransaction;
window.IDBKeyRange = window.IDBKeyRange || window.webkitIDBKeyRange || window.msIDBKeyRange;
// (Mozilla has never prefixed these objects, so we don't need window.mozIDB*)

// Let us open version 4 of 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 later on, for opening transactions and suchlike.
  db = DBOpenRequest.result;
};

Value
