These are a set of behaviors and elements that make it easy to synchronize in-memory data to persistant storage systems.
See: Documentation,
AppStorageBehavior is an abstract behavior that makes it easy to
synchronize in-memory data and a persistant storage system, such as
the browser's IndexedDB, or a remote database like Firebase.
AppNetworkStatusBehavior tracks the status of whether the browser
is online or offline. True if the browser is online, and false if the browser is
offline matching the HTML browser state spec.
app-indexeddb-mirror is a purpose-built element to easily add read-only
offline access of application data that is typically only available when the
user is connected to the network.
When an app using this element is connected to the network, the element acts as
a pass-through for live application data. Data is bound into the data
property, and consumers of the data can bind to the correlated persistedData
property. As live data changes, app-indexeddb-mirror caches a copy of the live
data in a local IndexedDB database. When the app is no longer connected to the
network, app-indexeddb-mirror toggles its persistedData property to refer
to a read-only copy of the corresponding data in IndexedDB.
This element is particularly useful in cases where an API or storage layer (such as Firebase, for example) does not support caching data for later use during user sessions that begin while the user is disconnected from the network.
app-localstorage-document synchronizes storage between an in-memory value and a location in the browser's localStorage system.
localStorage is a simple and widely supported storage API that provides both permanent and session-based storage options. Using app-localstorage-document you can easily integrate localStorage into your app via normal Polymer databinding.
app-localstorage-document is the reference implementation of an element
that uses AppStorageBehavior. Reading its code is a good way to get
started writing your own storage element.
