If I'm reading the current spec right (besides the "[NoInterfaceObject]"
attributes that I thought Nikunj was going to remove), if I want to open a
cursor, this is what I need to do:
myObjectStore.openCursor(new IDBKeyRange().leftBound("key"), new
IDBCursor().NEXT_NO_DUPLICATE);
Note that I'm creating 2 objects which get thrown away after using the
constructor and constant. This seems pretty wasteful.
Jonas' proposal (which I guess Nikunj is currently in the middle of
implementing?) makes things a bit better:
myObjectStore.openCursor(window.indexedDB.makeLeftBoundedKeyRange("key"),
new IDBCursor().NEXT_NO_DUPLICATE);
or, when you have a single key that you're looking for, you can use the
short hand
myObjectStore.openCursor("key", new IDBCursor().PREV);
But even in these examples, we're creating a needless object. I believe we
could also use the prototype to grab the constant, but the syntax is still
pretty verbose and horrid.
Can't we do better?
