IDBObjectStore: getAllKeys() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨January 2020⁩.

The getAllKeys() method of the IDBObjectStore interface returns an IDBRequest object retrieves record keys for all objects in the object store matching the specified parameter or all objects in the store if no parameters are given.

If a value is successfully found, then a structured clone of it is created and set as the result of the request object.

This method produces the same result for:

a record that doesn't exist in the database
a record that has an undefined value

To tell these situations apart, you need to call the openCursor() method with the same key. That method provides a cursor if the record exists, and no cursor if it does not.

Syntax

getAllKeys()
getAllKeys(query)
getAllKeys(query, count)
getAllKeys(options)

Parameters

The getAllKeys() method can take separate parameters or a single options object containing the parameters as properties.

The parameters can include:

query Optional: A value that is or resolves to an IDBKeyRange. If this value is not specified, this will default to a key range that selects all the records in this object store.
count Optional: Specifies the number of values to return if more than one is found. If it is lower than 0 or greater than 2^32 - 1 a TypeError exception will be thrown.

If an object parameter is specified, its properties can include:

query Optional

See the earlier query definition.

count Optional

See the earlier count definition.

direction Optional

An enumerated value specifying the direction in which the objects are traversed. Possible values are:

next: The objects are traversed from the beginning, in increasing key order. This is the default value.
nextunique: The objects are traversed from the beginning, in increasing key order. This will yield the same keys as next, because duplicate keys are not allowed in IDBObjectStores.
prev: The objects are traversed from the end, in decreasing key order.
prevunique: The objects are traversed from the end, in decreasing key order. This will yield the same keys as prev, because duplicate keys are not allowed in IDBObjectStores.

Return value

An IDBRequest object on which subsequent events related to this operation are fired.

If the operation is successful, the value of the request's result property is an Array of the keys for all records matching the given query, up to the value of count, if count was supplied.

Exceptions

This method may raise a DOMException of one of the following types:

TransactionInactiveError DOMException: Thrown if this IDBObjectStore's transaction is inactive.
DataError DOMException: Thrown if the key or key range provided contains an invalid key or is null.
InvalidStateError DOMException: Thrown if the IDBObjectStore has been deleted or removed.
TypeError DOMException: Thrown if the count parameter is not between 0 and 2^32 - 1, inclusive.
