angular-storage

A Storage done right for AngularJS.

Key Features

• Uses localStorage by default but if it's not available, it uses ngCookies.
• Lets you save JS Objects
• If you save a Number, you get a Number, not a String
• Uses a caching system so that if you already have a value, it won't get it from the store again.

Installing it

You have several options:

bower install a0-angular-storage

npm install angular-storage

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://rawgit.com/auth0/angular-storage/master/dist/angular-storage.js"></script>

Using it

angular.module('app', ['angular-storage'])
.controller('Controller', function(store) {
  var myObj = {
    name: 'mgonto'
  };

  store.set('obj', myObj);

  var myNewObject = store.get('obj');

  angular.equals(myNewObject, myObj); // return true

  store.remove('obj');

  store.set('number', 2);

  typeof(store.get('number')) === 'number'
});

Namespaced Storages

You can also create namespaced storages if you want

angular.module('app', ['angular-storage'])
.factory('Auth0Store', function(store) {
  return store.getNamespacedStore('auth0');
})
.controller('Controller', function(Auth0Store) {

  var myObj = {
    name: 'mgonto'
  };
  
  // This will be saved in localStorage as auth0.obj
  Auth0Store.set('obj', myObj);

  // This will look for auth0.obj
  var myNewObject = Auth0Store.get('obj');

  angular.equals(myNewObject, myObj); // return true
});

API

store.set(name, value)

Sets a new value to the storage with the key name. It can be any object.

store.get(name)

Returns the saved value with they key name. If you saved an object, you get an object.

store.remove(name)

Deletes the saved value with the key name

store.getNamespacedStore(namespace, delimiter)

Returns a new store service that will use the namespace and delimiter when saving and getting values like the following namespace[delimiter]key. For example auth0.object considering auth0 as namespace and . as a delimiter
