Angular Storage

Overview

Angular-Storage is a convenient library designed for AngularJS applications that simplifies the management of web storage. While the library has been archived and is considered deprecated, its availability on NPM allows developers to still integrate its features into their projects. It provides an effective solution for handling local and session storage needs, making it easier to work with different data types and ensuring that applications can maintain a seamless user experience.

For developers looking for a reliable method to manage stored data without delving into the complexities of web APIs, Angular-Storage presents a user-friendly interface. Its functionality, coupled with the capability to save JavaScript objects efficiently, helps streamline app development and management of user sessions.

Features

• Flexible Storage Options: Utilizes localStorage or sessionStorage by default, falling back to ngCookies when neither is available.

• JS Object Saving: Allows saving JavaScript objects directly, ensuring that data types are preserved, e.g., saving a Number gives you a Number, not a String.

• Caching Mechanism: Implements a caching system to prevent redundant reads from storage, improving performance and efficiency.

• Namespaced Storage: Supports the creation of namespaced storages, making it easier to manage related data groups without conflicts.

• Custom Storage Types: Provides the ability to set the underlying store type using storeProvider.setStore(storageName), allowing for greater flexibility in storage strategy.

• Easy Value Manipulation: Simple API for setting (store.set(name, value)), getting (store.get(name)), and removing (store.remove(name)) values stored in the designated storage.

• Namespaces and Delimiters: Allows for namespacing of stored data, enabling organized management using custom namespace patterns, e.g., auth0.object.

• Community Contributions: Open for community contributions, with guidelines for reporting issues and feature requests to continuously improve the library.
