@oleksii-pavlov/storages - List of Utilities for LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and Caching

Installation

npm install @oleksii-pavlov/storages

Usage

The package provides several classes that wrap native APIs to encapsulate repetitive logic like checking for existence, validations, passing keys, and so on. Here’s the list of available classes:

LocalStorage

interface NoteEntity {
  message: string
}

const defaultNote: NoteEntity = {
  message: 'Default'
}

const NotesLocalStorage = new LocalStorage<NoteEntity>('notes', defaultNote)

NotesLocalStorage.getValue() // { message: 'Default' }
NotesLocalStorage.setValue({ message: 'Hello' })
NotesLocalStorage.getValue() // { message: 'Hello' }

SessionStorage

const TokenSessionStorage = new SessionStorage<string>('token')

TokenSessionStorage.getValue() // null 
TokenSessionStorage.setValue('token')
TokenSessionStorage.getValue() // 'token'

Cache

interface Response {
  data: any[]
}

const APIResponseCache = new Cache<Response>('response', 5000)

APIResponseCache.getValue() // null

APIResponseCache.setValue({ data: [] })
APIResponseCache.getValue() // { data: [] }

setTimeout(() => {
  APIResponseCache.getValue() // null
}, 10000)

CollectionCache

The CollectionCache class allows for caching collections of items where each element is cached individually with expiration time and selection logic.

interface User {
  id: string
  name: string
}

const UserCache = new CollectionCache<User, string>({
  key: 'users',
  timeout: 60_000, // 1 minute
  selector: (user: User) => user.id
})

// Add a user
UserCache.addValue({ id: '1', name: 'Alice' })

// Get all users
const users = UserCache.getValue() // [{ id: '1', name: 'Alice' }]

// Get a user by ID
const user = UserCache.getValueById('1') // { id: '1', name: 'Alice' }

// Remove a user by ID
UserCache.removeValueById('1')

API

LocalStorage

constructor(key: string, defaultValue: Value | null = null)

• key: The key to store the value under in localStorage.
• defaultValue: The default value to return if the key does not exist.

getValue(): Value | null

Returns the stored value or the default value if the key does not exist or an error occurs.

setValue(value: Value): void

Stores the given value under the specified key in localStorage.

SessionStorage

constructor(key: string, defaultValue: Value | null = null)

• key: The key to store the value under in sessionStorage.
• defaultValue: The default value to return if the key does not exist.

getValue(): Value | null

Returns the stored value or the default value if the key does not exist or an error occurs.

setValue(value: Value): void

Stores the given value under the specified key in sessionStorage.

Cache

constructor(key: string, timeout: number, defaultValue: Value | null = null)

• key: The key to store the value under in localStorage.
• timeout: The time in milliseconds after which the cached value expires.
• defaultValue: The default value to return if the key does not exist or the cached value has expired.

getValue(): Value | null

Returns the stored value if it has not expired, otherwise returns the default value.

setValue(value: Value): void

Stores the given value along with the current timestamp under the specified key in localStorage.

CollectionCache

constructor(config: CollectionCacheConfig<Value, Selection>)

• config: An object containing configuration options for the CollectionCache:
  • key: The key to store the collection under in localStorage.
  • timeout: The time in milliseconds after which each cached item in the collection expires.
  • selector: A function that takes an item from the collection and returns a unique identifier (of type Selection) for that item.

getValue(): Value[]

Returns an array of stored values that have not expired. If no valid items are found, returns an empty array.

setValue(collection: Value[]): void

Stores an array of values, caching each item individually under the specified key.

removeValue(): Value[]

Removes the entire collection from the cache and returns the last valid collection of values before removal.

getValueById(id: Selection): Value | null

Returns a single item from the collection that matches the provided identifier (id) using the selector function. Returns null if the item is not found.

addValue(value: Value): void

Adds a single item to the cached collection, caching it individually with its own expiration time.

removeValueById(id: Selection): Value | null

Removes a single item from the cached collection based on its identifier (id) and returns the removed value. Returns null if the item is not found.
