# ngx-webstorage



### Local and session storage - Angular service

This library provides an easy to use service to manage the web storages (local and session) from your Angular application.

It provides also two decorators to synchronize the component attributes and the web storages.

------------



### Migrate from v2.x to the v3



1. Update your project to Angular 7+

2. Rename the module usages by NgxWebstorageModule.forRoot() *(before: Ng2Webstorage)*

> The forRoot is now mandatory in the root module even if you don't need to configure the library



### Migrate from v13.x to the v18



1. Update your project to Angular 18+

2. Rename the module usages by provideNgxWebstorage() *(before: NgxWebstorageModule.forRoot())*

3. Add the new provider functions to configure the library

```typescript

	provideNgxWebstorage(

		withNgxWebstorageConfig({ separator: ':', caseSensitive: true }),

		withLocalStorage(),

		withSessionStorage()

	)

```

------------



### Getting Started



1. Download the library using npm `npm install --save ngx-webstorage`

2. Declare the library in your main module



	```typescript

	import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';

	import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';

	import {provideNgxWebstorage, withNgxWebstorageConfig} from 'ngx-webstorage';



	@NgModule({

		declarations: [...],

		imports: [

			BrowserModule

		],

		providers: [

			provideNgxWebstorage(),

			//provideNgxWebstorage(

			//  withNgxWebstorageConfig({ prefix: 'custom', separator: '.', caseSensitive:true }) 

			//)

			// The config allows to configure the prefix, the separator and the caseSensitive option used by the library

			// Default values:

			// prefix: "ngx-webstorage"

			// separator: "|"

			// caseSensitive: false 

		]

		bootstrap: [...]

	})

	export class AppModule {

	}



	```



3. Inject the services you want in your components and/or use the available decorators



	```typescript

	import {Component} from '@angular/core';

	import {LocalStorageService, SessionStorageService} from 'ngx-webstorage';



	@Component({

		selector: 'foo',

		template: `foobar`

	})

	export class FooComponent {



		constructor(private localSt:LocalStorageService) {}



		ngOnInit() {

			this.localSt.observe('key')

				.subscribe((value) => console.log('new value', value));

		}



	}

	```



	```typescript

	import {Component} from '@angular/core';

	import {LocalStorage, SessionStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage';



	@Component({

		selector: 'foo',

		template: `{{boundValue}}`,

	})

	export class FooComponent {



		@LocalStorage()

		public boundValue;



	}

	```



### Provider Function



Since the new standalone API and angular v15+, provider functions are now the way to go to configure your application ([learn more](https://angular.dev/reference/migrations/standalone)).



1. From now on to setup your project, you can use the `provideNgxWebstorage` function.



2. You can independently add the (you can of course add them both together):

   - `localStorage` features with `withLocalStorage`

   - `sessionStorage` features with `withLocalStorage`



3. You can add a custom configuration with `withNgxWebstorageConfig`

   

```ts

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {

	providers: [

		// ...

		provideNgxWebstorage(

			withNgxWebstorageConfig({ separator: ':', caseSensitive: true }),

			withLocalStorage(),

			withSessionStorage()

		)

	]

})

```

})

export class FooComponent {



    attribute;



    constructor(private storage:LocalStorageService) {}



    saveValue() {

      this.storage.store('boundValue', this.attribute);

    }



}

````



------------



#### Retrieve( key:`string` ):`any`

		{{attribute}}

		Retrieve

	`,

})

export class FooComponent {



    attribute;



    constructor(private storage:LocalStorageService) {}



    retrieveValue() {

      this.attribute = this.storage.retrieve('boundValue');

    }



}

````



------------

export class FooComponent {



	@SessionStorage('AnotherBoundAttribute')

	public randomName;



}

````



### Known issues

--------------------



- *Serialization doesn't work for objects:* 



NgxWebstorage's decorators are based upon accessors so the update trigger only on assignation. 

Consequence, if you change the value of a bound object's property the new model will not be store properly. The same thing will happen with a push into a bound array. 

To handle this cases you have to trigger manually the accessor.



````typescript

import {LocalStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage';



class FooBar {



    @LocalStorage('prop')

    myArray;



    updateValue() {

        this.myArray.push('foobar');

        this.myArray = this.myArray; //does the trick

    }



}

````



### Modify and build

--------------------



`npm install`



*Start the unit tests:* `npm run test`



*Start the unit tests:* `npm run test:watch`



*Start the dev server:* `npm run dev` then go to *http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/index.html*
