# Backbone localStorage Backend

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jeromegn/Backbone.localStorage.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jeromegn/Backbone.localStorage)

[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/jeromegn/Backbone.localStorage/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/jeromegn/Backbone.localStorage?branch=master)

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/backbone.localstorage.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/backbone.localstorage)

An adapter that replaces `Backbone.sync` to save to `window.localStorage`

instead of to the server.

**Note** Backbone LocalStorage v2 changes the API to work more with ES6 modules.

See [Upgrade Notes](#upgrade-notes) for more details.

## Usage

Import `backbone.localstorage` and attach it to your models and collections:

```javascript

import {Collection, Model} from 'backbone';

import {LocalStorage} from 'backbone.localstorage';

const SomeCollection = Collection.extend({

  localStorage: new LocalStorage('SomeCollection'), // Uniquely identify this

});

const SomeModel = Model.extend({

  localStorage: new LocalStorage('SomeModel')

});

```

To synchronise with the server, you can pass the `ajaxSync` flag to any options:

```javascript

const myModel = new SomeModel();

myModel.fetch({

  ajaxSync: true  // Fetches from the server

});

myModel.save({

  new: "value"

}, {

  ajaxSync: true  // Pushes back to the server

});

```

## Upgrade Notes

Backbone LocalStorage is now built using ES6. It should be fully compatible with

v1 with one difference: Instead of exporting the `LocalStorage` class as a

default module, v2 exports it as a named variable. Below are examples covering

the changes:

### JavaScript ES5

In v1:

```javascript

var LocalStorage = require('backbone.localstorage');

```

In v2:

```javascript

var localStorage = require('backbone.localstorage');

var LocalStorage = localStorage.LocalStorage;

```

### JavaScript ES6+

In v1:

```javascript

import LocalStorage from 'backbone.localstorage';

```

In v2:

```javascript

import {LocalStorage} from 'backbone.localstorage';

```
