A polyfill to enable IndexedDB using WebSql.

IndexedDB is not supported on all browsers. This IndexedDB polyfill exposes the IndexedDB API in unsupported browsers using WebSQL. This shim is basically an IndexedDB-WebSql adapter.

More details about the project at gh-pages

Using this polyfill, you can use a single offline storage API across browsers (Opera, Safari, Firefox, Chrome and IE10) and even mobile devices (Phonegap on iOS and Android).

To use the polyfill, simply download the concatenated, minified product from the dist directory and include it in your HTML document.

If IndexedDB is not natively supported (and WebSQL is), the polyfill kicks in and makes a window.IndexedDB object available for you to use. If you want to force the use of this polyfill (on Chrome where both IndexedDB and WebSql are supported), simply use window.shimIndexedDB.__useShim().

To build IndexedDBShim.min.js

1. Ensure that you have node and grunt.
2. Run npm install grunt-jsmin-sourcemap to get the latest version of sourcemap generator.
3. Run grunt (or grunt.cmd on windows) on your command line
4. The output files will be generated in the dist directory.

To check if the IndexedDB polyfill works, open test/index.html (hosted from a local server) and check if all the tests complete.

The IndexedDB polyfill has sourcemaps enabled, so the polyfill can be debugged even if the minified file is included. To print out debug status, use window.shimIndexedDB.__debug(true)
