localstoragex v0.0.7

LocalStorageX

LocalStorageX is a polyfill for the W3C localStorage API backed by a more reliable storage mechanism.

For one, It resolves the painful behaviour of iOS WKWebView that deletes localStorage data, without warning, and as it sees fit - making implementations using the standard localStorage API break.

At its foundation it uses the localForage project (https://github.com/localForage/localForage)

Supports

• Browsers (Desktop Chrome, Android Chrome, iOS Safari)
• Cordova (Android, iOS)

Install

npm i localstoragex

Use

LocalStorageX exports a singleton (static) class. Thus no instantiation is required.

import { storage } from "LocalStorageX"; 

...

await storage.init(); 
window.localStorage.override();  //true

...

Build

npm run build

Link

npm run link

Test

npm run test
