electron-store

Data storage module for app preferences.

Getting Started

Most Electron apps need some sort of way to save user data. This could be user preferences (e.g. show/don’t show notifications) or some kind of application data (e.g. last window size and position). So how do we save user settings in an Electron app? And where do we save them to?

Prerequisites

fs, path and electron only

const electron = require('electron');
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');

Installing

npm install --save @jawadalik91/electron-store

and you are done.

Working Example

const Store = require('@jawadalik91/electron-store');
const store = new Store({
  // We'll call our data file 'user-preferences'
  configName: 'user-preferences'
});
store.set('myDataObj', { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3 });
var myDataObj = store.get('myDataObj');

-

const store = new Store();
store.set('myDataObj', anything);
var anything = store.get('myDataObj');
