persistent-storage

Abstracts access to any storage object implementing the webstorage Storage interface, and provides some extra features:

- Seamless Serialisation / Deserialization of objects (functions and prototype etc however will not be maintained)
- Optional seamless compression using lz-string
- Optional seamless encryption using node crypto / browserify-crypto
- Optional key scoping

See interfaces for documentation of configuration object

Example Usage

//Without Scoping
var PersistentStore = require('persistent-store')

var store = new PersistentStorage({
useCompression: false,
storageBackend: new StorageShim()
})

store.setItem("myObj", {foo: "bar"})
console.log(store.getItem("myObj")) // Prints {foo: "bar"}


//With scoping

var fred = new PersistentStorage({
useCompression: true,
keyPrefix: 'fred'
storageBackend: new StorageShim()
})

var bob = new PersistentStorage({
useCompression: false,
keyPrefix: 'bob'
storageBackend: new StorageShim()
})

fred.setItem("name", "Fred")
bob.setItem("name", "Bob")

console.log(fred.getItem("name")) // prints Fred
console.log(bob.getItem("name")) // prints Bob
