Dexie.js

New Features

• New addon Dexie.Yield gives support for ES6 yield for awaiting Promises in the exact same way as with synchronous multithreaded programming. Works TODAY on Chrome, Opera and Firefox without transpiling(!)

    // Include addon "Dexie.Yield", and simplify your application code dramatically:
    db.transaction('rw', db.friends, db.pets, function* () {
        var catId = yield db.pets.add({ name: "Tito", kind: "cat" });
        var dogId = yield db.pets.add({ name: "Josephina", kind: "dog" });
        var friendId = yield db.friends.add({ name: "Gurra G", pets: [catId, dogId] });

        var gurra = yield db.friends.where('name').equals("Gurra G").first();
        var gurrasPets = yield db.pets.where('id').anyOf(gurra.pets).toArray();
        console.log(JSON.stringify(gurrasPets));
    });

In short, any method that returns a promise can be yielded instead of .then():ed. See more samples in tests-yield.html

• Typescript definition file added (nuget: Install-Package dexie.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped)
• Support for AMD Module Loading (see samples/requirejs)

API Changes

• Dexie.spawn() deprecated and replaced by Dexie.ignoreTransaction(). Still backward compliant though.

Solved Issues

• Fixed broken CommonJS support (browserify) with sample added.
• #81: TypeError undefined not an object. Kind of a regression bug. Systems that lacks indexedDB should get a promise rejection on db.open() not a TypeError thrown at them.
• #102 Empty array in anyOf()
• Broken intellisense / code completion when using Visual Studio 2013.
• Transaction/Promise issues #91, #95 and #97
• A little bit more defensive to IndexedDBShim issues
• #62 Performance improvement on mobile devices
• #100 Must abort upgrade transaction if schema error

Fixes since v1.0.3:

Features:

• Global exception handler for promises #69 (Promise.on('error'))
• Issue #77: Make Dexie adapt to IndexedDBShim without hacks when it's included
• HTML5 web worker support #76
• Commit 635c7f19243dd96cef304d35fd8c1f4e65d4d1dd: May create a Dexie instance with inactive addons

Bugs:

• Exception can be thrown in WhereClause methods #67
• If returning a Promise from from a sub transaction, parent transaction will abort #71
• Neither this.onsuccess or this.onerror called for hook('updating') #72
• Exception in a promise may result in loosing the callback totally #73
• Issue #66 Using Dexie.js inside Chrome App
• Possible stall if error in modify()/delete() (commit c889d845e3a8a66495ce3b63170f82a56c7d19aa)
• Support for using other db within a transaction (commit 8d9c062aeed685a545fd998f98115ec470a1b87d)

Bugs in addons:

• Wrong order of changes Dexie.Observable/Syncable when using sub transactions #75
• Dexie.Syncable may store changes in the wrong table #74

Safari native indeedDB support.

• This version contains workaround for Safari's native indexedDB. Note however, that a transaction must not include multiple stores since Safari has that limitation. But if you keep querying one object store at a time, it will work with native Safari.

Alternate Safari support using indexedDBShim:

• For those prefering indexedDBShim, the shim became unfunctional since Safari released its native support. Latest version of indexedDBShim uses a workaround for that that this version of Dexie should be compatible with (untested).

Releasing patch version 1.0.1
