How do I use IndexedDB in Blazor WebAssembly?

Platform: Blazor| Category : General, WebAssembly

IndexedDB is used for the client-side storage of data and files. Follow these steps to use IndexedDB in Blazor WebAssembly:

  1. Create a Blazor WebAssembly app and install the IndexedDB.Blazor NuGet package using the NuGet package manager.

  2. Set up the IIndexedDbFactory configuration service in your Program.cs file and set it as scoped.
    [Program.cs]

    using IndexedDB.Blazor;
    builder.Services.AddScoped();
  3. Now add the properties inside the class to store and process data in the Data folder.
    [IndexDb.cs]

    using IndexedDB.Blazor; 
    using Microsoft.JSInterop;
    using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
    namespace Blazor_WebAssembly_App.Data
    {
    public class IndexDb : IndexedDb
    {
    public IndexDb ( IJSRuntime jSRuntime, string name, int version ) : base(jSRuntime, name, version) { }
    // These are like tables. Declare as many of them as you want.
    public IndexedSet employee { get; set; }
    }
    public class Employee
    {
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public string? FirstName { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public string? LastName { get; set; }
    }
    }
  4. Add the namespace for the IndexedDB in _Import.razor file.
    [_Import.razor]

    @using IndexedDB.Blazor 
    @using {{Your_App_Name}}.Data
  5. Add the Razor component to add and store the data using IndexedDB in the Index.razor file.
    [_Import.razor]

    @page "/" 
    @inject IIndexedDbFactory DbFactory
    <h1>employee</h1>
    @if (employee != null)
    {
    <table class="table">
    <thead>
    <tr>
    <th>ID</th>
    <th>First name</th>
    <th>Last name</th>
    <th></th>
    </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
    @foreach (var Employee in employee)
    {
    <tr>
    <td>@Employee.Id</td>
    <td>@Employee.FirstName</td>
    <td>@Employee.LastName</td>
    <td>
    <button class="btn btn-danger" @onclick="() => DeleteEmployee(Employee.Id)">Delete</button>
    </td>
    </tr>
    }
    </tbody>
    </table>
    }
    <fieldset>
    <legend>Add new Employee</legend>
    <EditForm Model="@newEmployee" OnValidSubmit="@SaveNewEmployee">
    <InputText @bind-Value="@newEmployee.FirstName" placeholder="First name..." />
    <InputText @bind-Value="@newEmployee.LastName" placeholder="Last name..." />
    <button type="submit">Add</button>
    <p><ValidationSummary /></p>
    <DataAnnotationsValidator />
    </EditForm>
    </fieldset>
    @code {
    List<Employee>? employee;
    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync ()
    {
    await RefreshEmployeeList();
    }
    Employee newEmployee = new Employee();
    async Task RefreshEmployeeList ()
    {
    using var db = await DbFactory.Create<IndexDb>();
    employee = db.employee.ToList();
    }
    async Task SaveNewEmployee ()
    {
    using var db = await this.DbFactory.Create();
    db.employee.Add(newEmployee);
    await db.SaveChanges();
    // Refresh list and reset the form
    newEmployee = new Employee();
    await RefreshEmployeeList();
    }
    async Task DeleteEmployee ( int id )
    {
    using var db = await this.DbFactory.Create<IndexDb>();
    var employeeToDelete = db.employee.FirstOrDefault(e => e.Id == id);
    if (employeeToDelete != null)
    {
    db.employee.Remove(employeeToDelete);
    await db.SaveChanges();
    await RefreshEmployeeList();
    }
    }
    }
