import { storageConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage";

storageConfig({
  namespace: 'app',
  delimiter: '/'
  react: React
  storages: {
    user
  }
})

available configuration options

config	default	optional	description
namespace	null	true	namespace your storage keys to avoid conflicts especially in the case micro-frontends.
delimiter	/	true	delimiter between the namespace and keys, ie: if namespace is app then key of user will be app/user
react	null	false	react-local-storage uses useState hook internally which will be abstracted from the given react instance.
storage	window.localStorage	true	choose between local or session storage
storages	null	true	storage keys config & definition

Key configurations

Each key can have its own configuration

Defaults

Configure default values to the localstorage key

import { storageKeyConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage"

const user = storageKeyConfig({
  defaults: {
    name: 'Guest',
    email: 'guest@email.com'
  }
})

typescript

import { storageKeyConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage"

const user = storageKeyConfig<User>({
  defaults: {
    name: 'Guest',
    email: 'guest@email.com'
  }
})

Versions & Migrations

If there is a schema change required in the local storage or in its default value, the storage can be simply migrated to the latest version by incrementing the version of a key. It will invoke the given migration method when there is a conflict with version.

import { storageKeyConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage"

const user = storageKeyConfig({
  defaults: {
    name: 'Guest',
    email: 'guest@email.com',
    avatar: 'example.com/guest.png'
  },
  version: 2,
  migration: (currentValue, defaultValue) {
    return Object.assign({}, ...currentValue, ...defaultValue);
  }
})

typescript

import { storageKeyConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage"

const user = storageKeyConfig<User>({
  defaults: {
    name: 'Guest',
    email: 'guest@email.com',
    avatar: 'example.com/guest.png'
  },
  version: 2,
  migration: (currentValue, defaultValue) {
    return Object.assign({}, ...currentValue, ...defaultValue);
  }
})
