SQLite: undefined is not an object

Expo SDK
1

Hi,

I am having the error undefined not an object while calling SQLite.openDatabase()

I followed the example of SQLite from https://github.com/expo/sqlite-example/blob/master/main.js

My Code:

import Expo, { SQLite } from 'expo';
const dataBase = SQLite.openDatabase({name: 'db.db'});

Error I got:

Looking at your package.json, you’re using quite an old version of Expo (15.1.2). I believe SQLite was added in SDK 16 (there is no page for it in the SDK 15 docs).

I recommend periodically upgrading to the latest version of Expo since we regularly test the latest version and drop old versions after several months (usually about half a year).

Hi ide,

Thank you. I got it.

Hi,

I update the expo to version 16.0.0. Now I can execute openDatabase and got the response. But when I execute the transaction, I got the issue

undefined is not a object (evaluating ‘ExponentSQLite.exec’)

Code

import Expo, { SQLite } from 'expo';
const db = SQLite.openDatabase({ name: 'db.db' });

class PurchaseHistory extends Component {
  componentDidMount(){
     db.transaction(tx => {
            tx.executeSql(
                "create table if not exists purchasehistory (id integer primary key not null, receiptnumber text)"
            );
        })
  }

  render(){...}
}

What is sdkVersion in your app.json or exp.json? Make sure to clear your node_modules/ directory and reinstall and restart your packager too before you re-launch your app after switching versions.

Hi nikki,

The sdkVersion version was the old one 15.0.0 in my app.json. Now I changed to 16.0.0 and it is working.
Thank you for the help.
