DB8 is a storage method of webOS TV. DB8 is designed to meet the needs of robust, high-performance apps. DB8 is a service available on Luna Bus, and interfaces to an embedded JSON database. For more information about DB8, refer to DB8 Basics.
To put , delete, and merge data, create a kind using putKind() method first. The following code sample shows how to create a kind using the method.
private: The private parameter is available on webOS TV 3.0 or later. If the private parameter is true, when an app is uninstalled, the kind is also removed.schema: The schema parameter is optional. If you define the schema, you must put the valid data that conforms to the schema format. For more information about the schema, refer to the Schema Enforcement page.
webOS.service.request("luna://com.palm.db", {
method: "putKind",
parameters: {
id: "com.sample.db.owner:1",
owner: "com.sample.db.owner",
private: true,
schema: {
id: "com.sample.db.owner:1",
type: "object",
properties: {
_kind: {
type: "string",
value: kindId,
},
number: {
type: "integer",
description: "number",
},
grade: {
type: "string",
description: "grade string",
},
isUsed: {
type: "boolean",
description: "flag",
},
},
},
indexes: [
{
name: "index0",
props: [{ name: "number" }],
},
{
name: "index1",
props: [{ name: "grade" }, { name: "isUsed" }],
},
{
name: "index2",
props: [{ name: "isUsed" }],
},
],
},
onSuccess: function (res) {
clearLog;
printLog("[putKind] onSuccess");
},
onFailure: function (res) {
printLog("[putKind] onFailure");
printLog("(" + res.errorCode + ") " + res.errorText);
return;
},
});To find specific data from the database using queries, you must define indexes in the putKind() method. For more information about queries and indexes, refer to the Queries and Indexing page.
Three indexes were defined in the kind that was created in the code sample above. The following query examples show how to find data from the code sample.
find([{ prop: "number", op: ">", val: 3 }]);
find([
{ prop: "grade", op: "=", val: "A" },
{ prop: "isUsed", op: "=", val: false },
]);
find([{ prop: "isUsed", op: "=", val: true }]);
function find(query) {
webOS.service.request("luna://com.palm.db", {
method: "find",
parameters: {
query: {
from: "com.sample.db.owner:1",
where: query,
},
},
onSuccess: function (res) {
var result = res.results;
console.log("[find] onSuccess:", result);
// do something with result
},
onFailure: function (res) {
console.log(res.errorCode, res.errorText);
// do something on failure
},
});
}To allow other apps' access to a kind, use putPermissions() method. The following example shows how to grant permission to other apps.
webOS.service.request("luna://com.palm.db", {
method: "putPermissions",
parameters: {
permissions: [
{
operations: {
read: "allow",
create: "allow",
update: "allow",
delete: "allow",
},
object: "com.sample.db.owner:1",
type: "db.kind",
caller: "com.sample.db.*",
},
],
},
onSuccess: function (res) {
console.log("[putPermissions] onSuccess");
},
onFailure: function (res) {
console.log("[putPermissions] onFailure:", res.errorCode, res.errorText);
},
});After reserving data IDs using reserveIds() method, you can put, get, delete data by the IDs. The following example shows how to reserve IDs.
function reserveIds(count) {
webOS.service.request("luna://com.palm.db", {
method: "reserveIds",
parameters: {
count: count,
},
onSuccess: function (res) {
let result = res.ids;
console.log("[reserveIds] onSuccess:", result);
return result;
},
onFailure: function (res) {
console.log("[reserveIds] onFailure:", res.errorCode, res.errorText);
return [];
},
});
}You can install sample apps and see the results in the webOS TV or webOS TV Simulator as below image.
-
Do test these sample apps on your webOS TV or webOS TV Simulator.
-
Do update the webOSTV.js library when the new version is released.
-
The 'com.sample.db.user' sample app does not work properly if the 'com.sample.db.owner' sample app has not created a kind or granted the kind's permission.
