node-localstorage
Advanced tools
A drop-in substitute for the browser native localStorage API that runs on node.js.
The node-localstorage npm package provides a simple way to emulate the browser's localStorage API in a Node.js environment. This is particularly useful for storing data persistently across sessions in a Node.js application.
Set Item
This feature allows you to store a key-value pair in the local storage. The data is saved persistently in the specified directory.
const { LocalStorage } = require('node-localstorage');
const localStorage = new LocalStorage('./scratch');
localStorage.setItem('myKey', 'myValue');Get Item
This feature allows you to retrieve the value associated with a given key from the local storage.
const { LocalStorage } = require('node-localstorage');
const localStorage = new LocalStorage('./scratch');
const value = localStorage.getItem('myKey');
console.log(value);Remove Item
This feature allows you to remove a key-value pair from the local storage.
const { LocalStorage } = require('node-localstorage');
const localStorage = new LocalStorage('./scratch');
localStorage.removeItem('myKey');Clear Storage
This feature allows you to clear all key-value pairs from the local storage.
const { LocalStorage } = require('node-localstorage');
const localStorage = new LocalStorage('./scratch');
localStorage.clear();The localStorage package provides a similar API to node-localstorage but is designed to be a more lightweight and minimalistic solution. It offers basic localStorage functionalities but may lack some of the more advanced features and configurability of node-localstorage.
The node-persist package offers a more feature-rich and flexible solution for persistent storage in Node.js. It supports various storage backends and provides additional features like data expiration and encryption, making it a more robust alternative to node-localstorage.
The electron-store package is designed specifically for Electron applications but can also be used in Node.js. It provides a simple API for persistent storage and supports JSON schema validation, making it a good choice for applications that require more structured data storage.

syntax. If you are in an ES6 supported environment. Limitations:

unless localStorage?
{LocalStorage} = require('../') # require('node-localstorage') for you
localStorage = new LocalStorage('./scratch')
localStorage.setItem('myFirstKey', 'myFirstValue')
console.log(localStorage.getItem('myFirstKey'))
# myFirstValue
localStorage._deleteLocation() # cleans up ./scratch created during doctest
Open or create src/setupTests.js and add these two lines:
// /src/setupTests.js
import { LocalStorage } from "node-localstorage";
global.localStorage = new LocalStorage('./scratch');
if (typeof localStorage === "undefined" || localStorage === null) {
var LocalStorage = require('node-localstorage').LocalStorage;
localStorage = new LocalStorage('./scratch');
}
localStorage.setItem('myFirstKey', 'myFirstValue');
console.log(localStorage.getItem('myFirstKey'));
Polyfil your node.js environment with this as the global localStorage when launching your own code
node -r node-localstorage/register my-code.js
npm install node-localstorage
