Cross-browser key-value store database to store data locally in the browser. Simpler fork of jStorage

simplestorage's Issues

Adding check for if file exists in internal storage.

I want to do a pull request to allow users to check if a file exists in internal storage, bet this will help some people out.

Default value in get() function

Hi,

I like Simplestorage.But the [defaultValue] in get() function is missing ...
I must copy the jstorage code (one line ...) on every new version
if you can add this little but "required" option :)

Bug: keys that expire while page is closed are not removed from the data

UNCONFIRMED:

If keys are added and the browser is closed, the expiration timeouts are removed, but the data is not. I suspect this is happening on simpleStorage startup.

Will confirm and update.

Auto Storage?

I'm testing out simpleStorage.

I see you have a timer for length of time to persist.

I am wondering if an automated storing option to this software, might be more appropriate.

Example: Local Storage allows you to set an interval option to auto store. How might I do that with simpleStorage to accomplish the same thing, basically an auto store of a data/js var with simpleStorage js?

Maybe an addition? Or needed feature?

Readme: "storageAvailable" should be "canUse"

The readme indicates that the simpleStorage object has a method named storageAvailable. The method is, in fact, canUse.

[enhancement request] add set key option: session

Please consider adding another option for setting keys: session.
Similar to jQuery cookie, this would clear that key on browser close (or on re-open, if not technically possible on close).

Might require using cookies internally to figure out when browser was closed/open.

Question: collision problem

If two sites both use simpleStorage for caching data, and they each decide to give the same key to different items, they would clobber each other, correct?

Maybe this means domain name + port should be automatically added to the key?

Thoughts?

.min.js where ?

I cant find minified version of simpleStorage.please update

npm support

It would be useful to publish this repo on npm, for use with npm and browserify.

New to this. Having some issues

Pretty simple, trying to make a button to save the values of multiple variables, then have another button set the values from storage.

https://jsfiddle.net/3Lc7j26u/

What am I doing wrong?

Persistence across subdomains

Hi, are there any way to persist the cookies across subdomains with simpleStorage?

Thanks!

get all key value method?

something like simpleStorage.getAll() will give {name: 'jason', email: 'java'}

Create a dist folder

Excuse me! I sent the wrong project!

bump version to 0.2.1 - update npm

I just noticed the hasKey() method, and updated my project (using npm -> webpack to include simplestorage.js from node_modules). Cross-referenced the npm package simplestorage.js with the github repo - both have same version - but only the repo has the updated method.

Confusing to have two files with same version containing different data.

Not sure what the normal process is, but could you update the npm package to reflect the changes in github? Thanks!

Suggestion, different way of handling the data

IF the stored data set is getting big, then adding 1 small item requires to stringify the whole data set... :(

Take the data outside the simplestore object and put it directly in the localstorage.
This will improve performance by a great deal..

Host it on free CDN (jsDelivr / CDNJS)

Hello @andris9,

I think it would be fantastic if you could host your plugin on free CDNs. It's reliable, fast and easy to use! I think it'll be great for everybody, not only me.

Here are the guidelines:

• https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
• https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs#adding-a-new-or-updating-an-existing-library.

Lemme know if you need some help with this.

Cheers

Better detection on Safari

Hello,

Using localStorage on Safari on iOS will result in JS errors when in private mode:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14555347/html5-localstorage-error-with-safari-quota-exceeded-err-dom-exception-22-an
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13208878/localstorage-not-accessible-in-ios-6-safari

Would you please consider a better detection of localStorage actually working, and if not, handle as if not available instead of erroring?
e.g. simpleStorage.get() could return undefined

Thanks

key character limitations

I haven't been able to isolate this to simpleStorage yet, but I thought it might be worth a question here. I am using symbols as well as alphanumeric characters in my keys, and it seems to be creating some issues. Specifically, it seems that a key with :, {, or } causes simpleStorage to lose track of where data stops and starts, and it goes into some sort of loop until storage space is exhausted. For example, if a key were "abc=:fg}" it would cause a problem.

When I look at localStorage.simpleStorage, I see some of my keys repeating hundreds of times.

I certainly don't think this is an issue with simpleStorage (since using symbols within keys is a little...odd), but it would be nice to document what can and can't be used.

could you provide a package.json for npm support

could you provide a package.json for npm support?
maybe I did it wrong. node/npm is new to me but:

npm install andris/simpleStorage --save-dev

It just left the package in my /tmp dir

Invalid Replacer Argument error in demo with IE8

The demo page encounters an error on line 82/84 where false is being passed as the 2nd argument of the call to JSON.stringify.

The page also renders incorrectly (shown below).

Possible to store data outside the simpleStorage object?

jStorage is great, and I think simpleStorage is great for a more minimal footprint. The concern I have with both scripts is the dependency that would result from using either. The key/value data is stored within the jStorage/simpleStorage object. This makes it difficult to transition from or to simpleStorage when visitors have pre-existing localStorage data already set in the browser.

Using localStorage directly, or other storage wrappers, the key/value data is stored at the root/top-level by default. I understand your rationale for doing it differently (such as supporting TTL), but would you consider modifying it so that the key/value data is stored at the root/top-level instead? Or perhaps mirror the data to break the dependency, or track TTL separately? Or whatever else would work to allow folks to seamlessly transition to using simpleStorage?

Thanks.

Bug: multiple expiration keys added

duplicate keys are being added in the __simpleStorage_meta.TTL.keys collection and in the wrong order

Create global defaults object

Support global defaults object with access to the following properties:

• global TTL
• storage location ( local [default] | session )

SimpleStorage maybe not ready?

I'm using this to check if user already visited the web page to do some stuff on first visit only

if (typeof simpleStorage.get('visited') != 'string')

This is called in jQuery's $(document).ready(...)

On the (slower and crappier) test-server this works just fine, but on the production server the statement is always true. Also I don't have the possibility to different scenarios on the production server because, well, it is a production server.

[bug] a key is saved when other key is set

test 1: works great

simpleStorage.set("sa", [1,2,3])
var a = simpleStorage.get("sa")
a.shift()
simpleStorage.get("sa")
[2,3] //expected, points to same object

//refresh page
simpleStorage.get("sa")
[1,2,3]
//perfect

test 2: "sa" key is saved when "whatever" key is saved

simpleStorage.set("sa", [1,2,3])
var a = simpleStorage.get("sa")
a.shift()
simpleStorage.get("sa")
[2,3] //expected, points to same object
simpleStorage.set("whatever", "abc")

//refresh page
simpleStorage.get("sa")
[2,3]
//bug

I'm getting object Object when a local storage item doesn't exist instead of undefined.

Thoughts?

Thanks! This is unexpected. =)))

Thanks for the great code!

storageAvailable is no where to be found :)
