Question: IndexedDB size limit

[Frozenfire92]

• Electron version: newest
• Operating system: any

Is there a limit on IndexedDB for electron apps? I know it is somewhat dynamic between browsers link but I would assume it would be hard drive size dependent on electron apps. Asking because it wasn't in FAQ

[zcbenz]

We have the same size limitation with Chrome browser, which is "1/3 of the of available disk space".

Thank you

Is there more recent information on the "1/3 of the of available disk space" comment from 2.5 years ago?

It so happens that a new api that can help you determine your quota has been exposed.

What I would do is: know the quota and have a way of informing /warning my user when they are about to hit the quota.

This is the API I am using (that post is 2 years old), and it is for Chrome. I'm looking for something Electron specific, as it appears to override the spec. Thanks, though.
