localstorage was cleared, when i restart my sketch

[zobor]

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Same. What I did to "solve" it, is persist it to the sketch plugin settings.

In the sketch "backend" code I used:

 const storedActiveProjectID = sketch.Settings.settingForKey(
        'storedActiveProjectID'
      );
      if (storedActiveProjectID) {
        browserWindow.webContents.executeJavaScript(
          `localStorage.setItem('storedActiveProjectID', "${storedActiveProjectID}")`
        );
      }

And in the frontend I used a pluginCall to pass it to the backend on change.

Not the greatest solution, but maybe it helps you!

Yeah I don’t think there is another solution. That’s also what I’m doing in the Sketch DevTools.

What we could do perhaps is automate this by monkey-patching localStorage automatically so that when you can localStorage, it would actually call the plugin’s “backend”

[happylinks]

That would be nice! Maybe with a special prefix so it’ll never conflict.

[mathieudutour]

Yes exactly. Do you want to have a go at it? There is already an example of monkey patching window.postMessage, it should probably be similar

[happylinks]

Sure, I can probably have a go at it this weekend or next week👌

[mathieudutour]

Perfect! Give me a shout if you need something

thanks, although it can't solve all the problems, but helpful.
