This library provides an easy to use service to manage the web storages (local and session) from your Angular application. It provides also two decorators to synchronize the component attributes and the web storages.
-
Download the library using npm
npm i @kruijt/ng-webstorage
-
Declare the library in your main module
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core'; import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser'; import {NgWebstorageModule} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage'; @NgModule({ declarations: [...], imports: [ BrowserModule, NgWebstorageModule.forRoot(), //NgWebstorageModule.forRoot({ prefix: 'custom', separator: '.', caseSensitive:true }) // The forRoot method allows to configure the prefix, the separator and the caseSensitive option used by the library // Default values: // prefix: 'kruijt-ng-webstorage' // separator: '|' // caseSensitive: false ], bootstrap: [...] }) export class AppModule { }
-
Inject the services you want in your components and/or use the available decorators
import {Component} from '@angular/core'; import {LocalStorageService, SessionStorageService} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage'; @Component({ selector: 'foo', template: `foobar` }) export class FooComponent { constructor(private storage: LocalStorageService) {} ngOnInit() { this.storage.observe('key') .subscribe((value) => console.log('new value', value)); } }
import {Component} from '@angular/core'; import {LocalStorage, SessionStorage} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage'; @Component({ selector: 'foo', template: `{{boundValue}}`, }) export class FooComponent { @LocalStorage() public boundValue; }
create or update an item in the local storage
- key: String. localStorage key.
- value: Serializable. value to store.
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `
<section><input type="text" [(ngModel)]="attribute"/></section>
<section><button (click)="saveValue()">Save</button></section>
`,
})
export class FooComponent {
attribute;
constructor(private storage: LocalStorageService) {}
saveValue() {
this.storage.store('boundValue', this.attribute);
}
}
retrieve a value from the local storage
- key: String. localStorage key.
- Any; value
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `
<section>{{attribute}}</section>
<section><button (click)="retrieveValue()">Retrieve</button></section>
`,
})
export class FooComponent {
attribute;
constructor(private storage: LocalStorageService) {}
retrieveValue() {
this.attribute = this.storage.retrieve('boundValue');
}
}
- key: (Optional) String. localStorage key.
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService, LocalStorage} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `
<section>{{boundAttribute}}</section>
<section><button (click)="clearItem()">Clear</button></section>
`,
})
export class FooComponent {
@LocalStorage('boundValue')
boundAttribute;
constructor(private storage: LocalStorageService) {}
clearItem() {
this.storage.clear('boundValue');
//this.storage.clear(); //clear all the managed storage items
}
}
- key: (Optional) localStorage key.
- Observable; instance of EventEmitter
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService, LocalStorage} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `{{boundAttribute}}`,
})
export class FooComponent {
@LocalStorage('boundValue')
boundAttribute;
constructor(private storage: LocalStorageService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.storage.observe('boundValue')
.subscribe((newValue) => {
console.log(newValue);
})
}
}
The api is identical as the LocalStorageService's
Synchronize the decorated attribute with a given value in the localStorage
- storage key: (Optional) String. localStorage key, by default the decorator will take the attribute name.
- default value: (Optional) Serializable. Default value
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorage, SessionStorage} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `{{boundAttribute}}`,
})
export class FooComponent {
@LocalStorage()
public boundAttribute;
}
Synchronize the decorated attribute with a given value in the sessionStorage
- storage key: (Optional) String. SessionStorage key, by default the decorator will take the attribute name.
- default value: (Optional) Serializable. Default value
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorage, SessionStorage} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `{{randomName}}`,
})
export class FooComponent {
@SessionStorage('AnotherBoundAttribute')
public randomName;
}
- Serialization doesn't work for objects:
NgWebstorage's decorators are based upon accessors so the update trigger only on assignation. Consequence, if you change the value of a bound object's property the new model will not be store properly. The same thing will happen with a push into a bound array. To handle this cases you have to trigger manually the accessor.
import {LocalStorage} from '@kruijt/ng-webstorage';
class FooBar {
@LocalStorage('prop')
myArray;
updateValue() {
this.myArray.push('foobar');
this.myArray = this.myArray; //does the trick
}
}
