IDBObjectStore: getAllRecords() method
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Experimental:This is anexperimental technology
Check theBrowser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
ThegetAllRecords() method of theIDBObjectStoreinterface retrieves all records (including primary keys and values) from the object store.
getAllRecords() effectively combines the functionality ofgetAllKeys() andgetAll() by enumerating both primary keys and values at the same time. This combined operation enables certain data retrieval patterns to be significantly faster than alternatives such as iteration with cursors.

Syntax
getAllRecords()getAllRecords(options)Parameters
An options object whose properties can include:
queryOptionalA key or an
IDBKeyRangeidentifying the records to retrieve. If this value isnullor not specified, the browser will use an unbound key range.countOptionalThe number of records to return. If this value exceeds the number of records in the query, the browser will retrieve only the queried records. If the value is less than
0or greater than2^32 - 1, aTypeErrorexception will be thrown.directionOptionalAn enumerated value specifying the direction in which the records are traversed, which in turn defines the order in which they are returned. Possible values are:
nextThe records are traversed from the beginning, in increasing key order. This is the default value.
nextuniqueThe records are traversed from the beginning, in increasing key order. This will yield the same records as
next, because duplicate keys are not allowed inIDBObjectStores.prevThe records are traversed from the end, in decreasing key order.
prevuniqueThe records are traversed from the end, in decreasing key order. This will yield the same records as
prev, because duplicate keys are not allowed inIDBObjectStores.
Return value
AnIDBRequest object on which subsequent events related to this operation are fired.
If the operation is successful, the value of the request'sresult property is anarray of objects representing all records that match the given query, up to the number specified bycount (if provided).
Each object contains the following properties:
keyA value representing the record's key.
primaryKeyThe record's key; identical to the
keyproperty.valueA value representing the record's value.
Exceptions
This method may raise aDOMException of the following types:
InvalidStateErrorDOMExceptionThrown if the
IDBObjectStorehas been deleted or removed.TransactionInactiveErrorDOMExceptionThrown if this
IDBObjectStore's transaction is inactive.TypeErrorDOMExceptionThrown if the
countparameter is not between0and2^32 - 1, inclusive.
Examples
const query = IDBKeyRange.lowerBound("myKey", true);const objectStore = transaction.objectStore("contactsList");const myRecords = (objectStore.getAllRecords({ query, count: "100", direction: "prev",}).onsuccess = (event) => { console.log("Records successfully retrieved");});Specifications
