Description

Happens when a db operation has failed due to that database couldn't be opened.

NOTICE! Always inspect the inner property of a OpenFailedError, which will hold the reason why the call to db.open() has failed.

Sample using Promise.catch()

doSomeDatabaseWork().then(function(){
    // Success
}).catch(Dexie.OpenFailedError, function (e) {
    // Failed with OpenFailedError
    console.error ("open failed due to: " + e.inner);
}).catch(Error, function (e) {
    // Any other error derived from standard Error
    console.error ("Error: " + e.message);
}).catch(function (e) {
    // Other error such as a string was thrown
    console.error (e);
});

Sample: switch(error.name)

db.on('error', function (error) {
    switch (error.name) {
        case Dexie.errnames.OpenFailed:
            const innerError = error.inner;            
            console.log ("open failed due to " + innerError.name);
            break;
        default:
            console.log ("error: " + e.message);
    }
});
