How to connect to surrealdb.wasm in the browser?

[limcheekin]

Hi there,

I managed to run the Development server (index.html) of the surrealdb.wasm using npm run serve.

But I have problem connecting to the SurrealDB's indxdb in the browser, I added the following code to the <script> tag of the index.html:

		<script type="module">
			import Surreal from "./lib/full.js";
			if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
				window.Surreal = Surreal;
			}

			const db = new Surreal();

			try {
				// Connect to the database
				await db.connect("indxdb");
			} catch (e) {
				console.error("ERROR", e);
			}
		</script>

The browser console return the following error:

There was a problem with the underlying datastore: Unable to load the specified datastore

After I change indxdb to memory, it is working fine. Is indxdb supported by surrealdb.wasm?

Please advise and let's me know if you need more information.

Thanks in advance.

I finally found a solution after digging into a comment of a closed issue at surrealdb/surrealdb.wasm#3 (comment):

	await db.connect("indxdb:test");

	// Select a specific namespace / database
	await db.use({ ns: "test", db: "test" });

IMHO, SurrealDB might be great database, but it is still a new kid in the database systems. It need to have many examples and improvements on documentation to showcase its capabilities and faster the adoption and acceptance by the enterprises and communities.
Don't you think so?

If the company hiring someone to do so, I'm open to such opportunity. :)
