Safari 14 IndexedDB fix

Safari on macOS Big Sur 11.4 and iOS 14.6 has a nasty bug where IndexedDB requests get lost and never resolve.

This library (well, function) works around the issue and tells you when IndexedDB is actually available.

To install:

npm i safari-14-idb-fix

To use:

import idbReady from 'safari-14-idb-fix';

idbReady().then(() => {
  // Safari has figured out where IndexedDB is.
  // You can use IndexedDB as usual.
});

All bundles

A modern build tool will handle the above example fine, but if you need some different builds:

• dist/cjs/index.js CommonJS module.
• dist/cjs-compat/index.js CommonJS module, transpiled for older browsers.
• dist/esm/index.js EcmaScript module.
• dist/esm-compat/index.js EcmaScript module, transpiled for older browsers.
• dist/iife/index-min.js Minified plain JS, which creates an idbReady global.
• dist/iife-compat/index-min.js As above, but transpiled for older browsers.
