localForage-setItems

Adds setItems method to localForage.

Requirements

• localForage v1.4.0+
  • for earlier versions of localforage, please use the v1.1.x releases

Installation

npm i localforage-setitems

Importing

TypeScript

Include localforage with an import statement appropriate for your configuration and import localforage-setitems right after it.

Normally, localforage-setitems will extend the prototype of locaforage to include the setItems() method, but unfortunately the typings can't be updated. As a result you should use the exported extendPrototype() method, which returns the provided localforage instance but with inherited typings that also include the setItems() method.

import localForage from 'localforage';
// OR based on your configuration:
// import * as localForage from 'localforage';

import { extendPrototype } from 'localforage-setitems';

extendPrototype(localforage);

// Keep using localForage as usual.

Known issues with module bundlers

In some ES6 module bundlers .setItems() might not automatically be made available to the localforage object on import. In this case, import the provided extendPrototype() method and extend localforage manually, as shown in the Typescript section.

API

You can pass an array with the key-value pairs:

var items = [
  { key: 'asdf', value: 'asdf value!' },
  { key: 'asap', value: 'asap value!' },
  { key: 'async', value: 'async value!' }
];
localforage.setItems(items);

Or you can pass a object with the keys as properties:

var items = {
  asdf: 'asdf value!',
  asap: 'asap value!',
  async: 'async value!'
};
localforage.setItems(items);
