client-side-storage

client-side-storage

Provides key value pair storage. Right now only localStorage is implemented.

You want code coverage? We got code coverage so good it will make your head spin.

Installation

This package is distributed via npm:

npm install client-side-storage

Usage

var StorageAPI = require('client-side-storage');

//Optional name 'MyStorage' prevents namespace collisions
var MyStorage  = new StorageAPI('MyStorage');

MyStorage.addStorageMethod(require('client-side-storage/methods/localStorage');

MyStorage.set('stuff', 'things')
.then(function() {
  return MyStorage.get('stuff');
})
.then(function(stuff) {
  console.log(stuff); // 'things'
});

Set / Retrieve multiple items

MyStorage.set({stuff: 'things', children: 'the future'})
.then(function() {
  return MyStorage.get(['stuff', 'children']);
})
.then(function(obj) {
  console.log(obj); // {stuff: 'things', children: 'the future'}
});

Remove item

MyStorage.remove('stuff')
.then(function() {
  console.log('stuff is gone');
});

Clear storage

MyStorage.clear()
.then(function() {
  console.log('the past is dead, hoss...');
});

Implement your own Storage Method

Implementing new methods is easy. Simply return a value from your implemented methods as below. See client-side-storage/methods/localStorage.js for example

class MyStorageMethod() {
  constructor(name) {
    //Save use for prefixing when viable
    this.name = name;
  }
  //This method must be synchronous
  isSupported() {
    //Return true if the storage method will work in the current enviroment
    if (typeof(RandomGlobal.Storage.Plugin) != 'undefined') {
      return true;
    }
  }
  get(variable) {
    return '42';
    //OR - if you need async, simply return a promise
    var deferred = Q.defer();
    deferred.resolve(42);
    return deferred.promise;
  }
  getMultiple(array_of_values) {
    //getMultiple will be called when Storage.get is called with an array of values
    //Your class should return an object of key-value pairs (or a promise which resolves to one)
    return {key1: 'cool_value', key2: 'cool_value2'}
  }
  set(key, value) {
    //set key equal to value in your method
    //if async, return a promise that will resolve when the process is complete
    //i.e.

    var deffered = Q.defer();
    setValueOnServer(function() {
      deferred.resolve(true);
    });
    return deferred.promise;

  }
  setMultiple(obj) {
    //Called when Storage.set is called with an object of key value pairs
    //Set all keys in storage, return a promise or value as above

  }
  remove(variable) {
    //Delete variable, then return promise or value as above
  }
  clear() {
    //Clear your storage then return promise or value as above
  }

}
