Database access from UWP app in HTML5/JS

Question

What is the best way to use a database (be it Redis, SQLite, WebSQL or just about anything actually) from a UWP app being developed in HTML5/Javascript ? For a C# or VB.NET app I guess it would be quite easy, since you can just use stuff like this . But how would I do that for a JS-based app?

I guess one option would be to do a wrapper C# project and use that as a data layer (since I believe my JS/HTML project can invoke methods in my other projects in the solution). Is that the best/easiest way or are there any other really good options that I'm missing somehow? It feels a bit clumsy, since I would prefer a solution with 100% Javascript in this case.

Answer 1

You could use IndexedDB in UWP javascript apps.

You can easily find samples online ( here for example) and relevant MSDN documentation is here .
