Vue Web Storage

Features

Choose either localStorage or sessionStorage or both
Prefix all of your stored keys
Auto JSON.stringify and JSON.parse
Events for cross tab communication

Installation

# yarn
yarn add vue-web-storage

# npm
npm install vue-web-storage

Usage

import Vue from 'vue';
import StoragePlugin from 'vue-web-storage';  
Vue.use(StoragePlugin); 
// Use as
// Vue.$localStorage

Configuration (optional)

Vue.use(StoragePlugin, {
  prefix: 'your_app_slug_',// default `app_`
  drivers: ['session', 'local'], // default 'local'
});

// This will register two instances
// Vue.$sessionStorage
// Vue.$localStorage

Methods

All methods take care of prefix in key name, so you no need to specify the prefix when using them.

`set(key,value)`

Stores the value under specified key in storage. Convert value to JSON before saving. This method throws error on failure.

Vue.$localStorage.set('name', 'john')
Vue.$localStorage.set('isAdmin', true)
Vue.$localStorage.set('roles', ['admin', 'sub-admin'])
Vue.$localStorage.set('permission', {id: 2, slug: 'edit_post'})

`get(key, ?defaultValue = null)`

Retrieves given key value from storage, parse the value from JSON before returning. If parsing failed then throws error.

Vue.$localStorage.get('name')
Vue.$localStorage.get('doesNotExistsInStorage','defaultValue')

`remove(key)`

Removes the key from storage.

Vue.$localStorage.remove('name')

`clear(?force = false)`

Removes all keys from storage. Passing true will clear whole storage without taking prefix into consideration.

Vue.$localStorage.clear()

`keys(?withPrefix = false)`

Returns array of keys stored in storage. Passing true will return prefixed key names.

Vue.$localStorage.keys()

`hasKey(key)`

Returns true if key exists in storage regardless of its value.

Vue.$localStorage.hasKey('name')

`length()`

Returns the number of keys stored in storage.

Vue.$localStorage.length()

Events

💡 These are not regular Vue.js events, these events to be used for cross tab communication.

`on(key,fn)`

Attaches a listener method to the given key. You can attach multiple methods on the same key.

const onChangeName = (newValue, OldValue, originUrl) => {
  // do something when `name` value gets changed
};
Vue.$localStorage.on('name', onChangeName);
Vue.$localStorage.on('name', this.anotherMethod)

`off(key,fn)`

Removes specified listener method form the given key.

Vue.$localStorage.off('name', this.onChangeName)

`clearEvents(?key)`

Removes all listeners for the given key otherwise clears the listeners pool when key not specified.

Vue.$localStorage.clearEvents('name');
Vue.$localStorage.clearEvents()
