local-storage's Introduction

`@script47/local-storage`

A handy wrapper around localStorage.

What you see is what you get; Simple and clean wrapper, nothing extra
Respects types; no longer do you have to worry about casting items after retrieving them
Custom events on actions; listen to events on set, remove, and clear

Note: This wrapper will not work if the localStorage API is not available.

API

Set or get a key using the quick accessor:

ls(key, value);

Example

ls('key', 'value'); // true
// or
ls({
   key: 'value'
});
ls('key'); // 'value'

Set a local storage item:

set(key, value);

Example

ls.set('key', 'value'); // true
// or
ls.set({
    key: 'value'
})

Get a local storage item:

get(key, def = undefined);

Example

ls.set('key', 'value'); // true
ls.set('key', 'default value'); // 'value'
ls.get('i-dont-exist', 'default value'); // 'default value'
ls.get('i-dont-exist'); // undefined

Remove a local storage item:

remove(key);

Example

ls.set('key', 'value'); // true
ls.get('key'); // 'value'
ls.remove('key'); // true
// or
ls.remove(['key']);
ls.get('key'); // undefined

Clear local storage completely:

clear();

Example

ls.set('key', 'value'); // true
ls.set('another-key', 'another-value'); // true
ls.clear(); // true
ls.get('key'); // undefined
ls.get('another-key'); // undefined

Listen to events attached to localStorage actions by the package:

on(type, listener);

Example

ls.on('ls.set', ({detail}) => {
    console.log(`${detail.key}=${detail.value}`);
});

ls.on('ls.remove', ({detail}) => {
    console.log(`${detail.key} was removed.`);
});

ls.on('ls.clear', () => {
    console.log('localStorage was cleared.');
})

ls.set('name', 'John Doe');
ls.set('age', 35);

setTimeout(() => {
    ls.remove('name');

    setTimeout(() => {
        ls.clear();
    }, 2500);
}, 2500);
