# has-localstorage

> returns true if localStorage is supported _and_ persistent

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gr2m/has-localstorage.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gr2m/has-localstorage/)

returns `true` or `false` depending on whether localStorage is supported or not.
Beware that some browsers like Safari do not support localStorage in private mode.


## Downlaod or Installation

- Download [has-localstorage.js](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gr2m/has-localstorage/master/lib/has-localstorage.js)
- or: install via Bower: `bower install --save has-localstorage`
- or: install via npm: `npm install --save has-localstorage`


## Usage

```js
if (hasLocalStorage()) {
  // localStorage can be used, all data gets persisted
} else {
  // localStorage is not available, or changes are not persisted
}
```


## Help wanted!

The current test setup is very simple: it only tests in latest Firefox
using Selenium and [Sauce Labs](http://saucelabs.com/). Unfortunately,
Sauce Labs has no support to start browsers in private mode, which would
be necessary, as `localStorage` behaves different if in private mode
in Safari, probably in other browsers as well.

If anynone has an idea to for that, ping me at
https://github.com/gr2m/has-localstorage/issues/1
