Ephemeral Store

Why?

The Store class's use case is to be an ephemeral key-value store that only persists within the life time of a single user session. It intentionally provides a similar interface to localStorage or a browser's cookie storage.

However, it differs from them significantly as it's not persisted and is hence not subject to prior cookie consent policies of the European Union. (At least that's what I'm hoping for lol.)

An alternative to the Store class would be to set a cookie, but omit its expires date. Of course, using a plain JS object would be fine too.

Installation

$ npm i --save ephemeral-store

Usage

const EphemeralStore = require("ephemeral-store");
const store = new EphemeralStore();
store.setItem("hello", "world");
store.getItem("hello");
store.removeItem("hello");
store.clear();
