Dexie.js is a minimalistic and bulletproof IndexedDB wrapper library designed to simplify client-side storage. At only ~29k minified and gzipped, it offers a concise API that addresses the complexities of native IndexedDB, such as ambivalent error handling, poor queries, lack of reactivity, and code complexity. Dexie.js provides a well-thought-through API design, robust error handling, extendability, change tracking awareness, and extended KeyRange support, including case-insensitive search, set matches, and OR operations. It embraces the IndexedDB specification and all its features, allowing developers to use existing IndexedDB data without the need for data migration. Dexie.js supports composable real-time queries, enabling components to mirror the database in real-time across various front-end frameworks like React, Svelte, Vue, and Angular. With Dexie Cloud, developers can build consistent, authenticated, and access-controlled local-first apps with just a few lines of extra code.
