This API is available on Firefox OS for internal applications only.

The revisionId read-only property of the DataStore interface returns the current data store's current revision ID. This ID can be tracked, allowing you to synchronize apps using the data store to this point in its history.

Note: The Data Store API is available in Web Workers, from Firefox 32 onwards (Firefox OS 2.0; see bug 949325.)

Syntax

myStoreName = store.revisionId;

Value

A DOMString.

Example

The following example gets all the data stores on the device called "contacts", then logs the current revision ID to the console:

navigator.getDataStores('contacts').then(function(stores) {
  console.log(stores[0].revisionId);
});
