repetition of naming both the transaction and the object store

Specifying the name of the "table" in the Object Store method seems repetitive if the transaction is for only 1 "table".

Q: Is there a way to reduce the repetition of:

var transaction = db.transaction(["toDoList"], "readwrite");
var objectStore = transaction.objectStore("toDoList");

The reason there is repetition is that you can open a transaction on multiple object stores. If you are commonly just opening a transaction on one object store, you could wrap it in a function:

function getObjectStore(name) {
    var transaction = db.transaction([name], "readwrite");
    return transaction.objectStore(name);    
}

var objectStore = getObjectStore("toDoList");

More generally, the entire IndexedDB API is rather verbose and it's more pleasant to use a wrapper library like http://dexie.org/ or https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb
