Called localStorageObserver this is a simple storage library for JavaScript, get inspire from localForage but running as Observer. This library support TypeScript, and EasyTo-Use.

Problems why created this library:

window.addEventListener("storage", () => {});

This won't work on the same page that is making the changes — it is really a way for other pages on the domain using the storage to sync any changes that are made. Pages on other domains can't access the same storage objects. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/storage_event

How to use

To use localStorageObserver, just drop a single line into your app:

import localStorageObserver from "local-storage-observer";

See more real example.

Download the latest localStorageObserver from GitHub, or install with npm:

npm install local-storage-observer

Configuration

You can set several configuration with the config() method. Avalaible options description, storeName, and version (use for future, currently isn't some affect in your app).

Example:

localStorageObserver.config({
  storeName: "local_storage_observer",
});

Note: you must call config() before you interact with your data. This means calling config() before using get$(), or set$().

Get Item

Gets an item from the local storage and supplies the result to a subscriber. If the key does not exist, get$() will return null.

localStorageObserver.get$(key).subscribe((next) => {
  console.log("Result", JSON.parse(next));
});

Note: localStorageObserver doesn't store the value null / undefined.

localStorageObserver.set$(key, values).subscribe((next) => {
  console.log("Step two, set$", next);
});

• Object

localStorageObserver.remove$(key).subscribe({
  next: (message) => console.log("Message: ", message),
  error: (error) => console.error("Error: ", error),
});
