Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

A low-level, transactional browser database for storing large amounts of structured data client-side — far more capable than localStorage for complex offline data.

How to Learn This

  • 1Store a small structured dataset in IndexedDB using the raw API or a wrapper like `idb`.
  • 2Compare its capabilities (indexes, transactions, large storage) to localStorage.
  • 3Learn it's the storage layer most offline-first apps and PWAs rely on.
