Library not working in Firefox and Chrome if COOKIE is disabled. about persist-js

[sjselvan]

Hi Jay,

I think the localStorage implementation is fairly new in FF (3.5)... this looks like a bug in Firefox.

A simple try/catch will resolve this, but Firefox is the only browser that doesn't respect this appropriately. Let me stew about a good way to resolve it.

Hi Jay,

From my understanding, the implementation of IE8 and Safari is appropriate. LocalStorage should work with cookies disabled. There may currently be no way to handle fine-grained localStorage vs cookies disabling, so some browsers currently disable both localStorage and cookies together. That's only speculation.

Unfortunately, because of the inconsistently in the implementation between Chrome and Firefox, the simple try/catch won't resolve this issue. I will work out another solution that makes sense shortly.

Thanks for using PersistJS,
Jeremy

Jeremy,

any news on this issue? The problem is that many people have disabled cookies and so loading the lib will fail, even with storage type cookies removed.

Thanks
