rStorage

jQuery rStorage Plugin

localStorage and sessionStorage helper utility for jQuery

rStorage simplify the usage of localStorage and sessionStorage with JSON objects.

If you have any idea about improving this plugin please let me know

Functionalities

• Simple namespacing
• Store objects and encoding, decoding to or from JSON happens automatically
• Same function call for getters and setters
• Setters and getters recognize dot notation format
• Integrated unit tests

How to use

The API is the same for both storages.

Setter

var myObject = {
  level1 : {
     level2 : {
        level3 : 'level3'
     }
  }
}

$.localStorage('testNamespace', myObject);     //setter

//updating an existing key somewhere deep inside the object
$.localStorage(
    'testNamespace.level1.level2',
    {
        foo : {
            bar : 'Gauranga!'
        }
    });

//insert a new key deeply
$.localStorage(
    'testNamespace.aNew.deeply.foo',
    {
        bar : 'Gauranga!'
    });

Getter

$.localStorage('testNamespace');      //getter
$.localStorage('testNamespace.level1');      //dot notation getter

Removing parts by dot notation

$.localStorage.remove('testNamespace.level1.level2');

Same examples for sessionStorage

$.sessionStorage('testNamespace');     //getter, it does not see what we have in $.localStorage
$.sessionStorage('testNamespace',
    {
       book : {
          chapter1: {
             title : 'First Chapter',
             pages : 200
          }
          chapter2: {
             title : 'Second Chapter',
             pages : 300
          }
       }
    });

$.sessionStorage(
    'testNamespace.level1.level2',
    {
        foo : {
            bar : 'Gauranga!'
        }
    });

$.sessionStorage(
    'testNamespace.aNew.deeply.foo',
    {
        bar : 'Gauranga!'
    });


$.sessionStorage('testNamespace');    //getter will return our book object
