Stored locally? #5

Open HeeringsNET opened 6 years ago

Hello Andrey,

Love your extention / code, a little creepy that it's so easy but very cool at the same time :) In your README you say that the extention stores the data locally, can you tell me where it stores the data? I've been looking around for about a hour but I can't find anything.

Thanks in advance 👍

Hello,

The Chrome App uses a local IndexedDB database. The relevant code is in background.js. The database is opened by the openDatabase() function, with the opening itself happening here. You can see some of the writes to the database happening here and here.

You can also inspect the database using the Chrome development tools, by right-clicking the window, selecting 'Inspect', going to the 'Application' tab, and clicking the 'IndexedDB' option from the pane on the left.

Hope this helps, Andrey
