Can I observe to IndexDB updates

[sankar-ganesh]

Is there a way I can observe to IndexDB actions like 'add', 'update', or 'delete'

[frederikbosch]

Nope, why would you want to?

[sankar-ganesh]

To keep multiple tabs that are open to be in sync?

[frederikbosch]

Something like this should work. Requires localForage observerable and a little extension to the default adapter to start observing.

import LFAdapter from 'ember-localforage-adapter/adapters/localforage';

export default LFAdapter.extend({

  startObserveringIndexDb: Ember.on('init', function () {
    var observable = window.localforage.newObservable();
    var subscription = observable.subscribe({
      next: function(args) {
        console.log('I observe everything', args);
      },
      error: function(err) {
        console.log('Found an error!', err);
      },
      complete: function() {
        console.log('Observable destroyed!');
      }
    });
  })

});

I couldn't find window.localforage.newObservable

@sankar-ganesh See that link I posted in the previous message. You will need an additional library.

[sankar-ganesh]

As these dependencies are not compatible like an addon ember build doesn't allow me to build it together with the app. By any chance, can i reload the datastore completely to get all of the latest value instead of observing it.

[frederikbosch]

Why not? You can use

app.import('bower_components/x/y.js');

to import external libraries that you installed with bower.

[sankar-ganesh]

BTW, the zen-observer and localforage-observable are not bower components either

[frederikbosch]

Then copy the distributable to your vendor folder.

[sankar-ganesh]

that's right but then it doesn't serve the deployment rules. Instead they have either served the es6 version or the dist folder which can't be used via app.import

[frederikbosch]

Fair enough. Then you should create a PR that adds the feature here. I am prepared to merge it.
