[PWA] 15. Using The IDB Cache And Display Entries

时间 2019-11-30 标签 pwa 15 using idb cache display entries

We want to use IDB to store the wittr messages. web

The logic is when the page start:socket

service worker will read the skeleton from the cache and show to the interface.
read the message data from the IDB first instead of going to network.
Show the data from IDB then open socket to fetch updated wittr.
Once data arrive, update the interface and save into IDB.

export default function IndexController(container) {
  this._container = container;
  this._postsView = new PostsView(this._container);
  this._toastsView = new ToastsView(this._container);
  this._lostConnectionToast = null;
  this._openSocket(); this._dbPromise = openDatabase(); this._registerServiceWorker();
}

In openDatabase(), we create Wittr db, set id as primary key and time as index called 'by-time'post

function openDatabase() {
  // If the browser doesn't support service worker,
  // we don't care about having a database
  if (!navigator.serviceWorker) {
    return Promise.resolve();
  }

   return idb.open('wittr', 1, function(upgradeDb){
      const store = upgradeDb.createObjectStore('wittrs', {
        keyPath: 'id'
      });

    store.createIndex('by-date', 'time');
  });
}

In _openSocket, we have a function to fetch the old data from the IDB.fetch

// open a connection to the server for live updates
IndexController.prototype._openSocket = function() {


...

  ws.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
    requestAnimationFrame(function() {
      indexController._onSocketMessage(event.data);
    });
  });

...
};

// called when the web socket sends message data
IndexController.prototype._onSocketMessage = function(data) {
  var messages = JSON.parse(data);

  this._dbPromise.then(function(db) {
    if (!db) return;

    // TODO: put each message into the 'wittrs'
    // object store.
    const tx = db.transaction('wittrs', 'readwrite');
    const wittrs = tx.objectStore('wittrs');
    messages.forEach( (message) => {
      wittrs.put(message);
    });

    return tx.complete;
  });

  this._postsView.addPosts(messages);
};
