This is a react hook that allows you to use the power of browser localstorage
and the useState react hook combined!

The API is the same, and you'll see no difference between them!

You can try this live version on: https://penseapp-uselocalstorage.web.app/

## TL;DR

```tsx
import { useLocalStorage } from "@penseapp/uselocalstorage";

const [state, setState] = useLocalStorage(
"keyName",
"useLocalStorage",
false // or a number
);
```

## How to install

```sh
yarn add @penseapp/uselocalstorage
```

or

```sh
npm i @penseapp/uselocalstorage
```

## How to use

Import the lib on your component

```tsx
import { useLocalStorage } from "@penseapp/uselocalstorage";
```

Simple change the `useState` to `useLocalStorage` on any hooks and it's done.
Now you can reload your browser and your state will maintein

```diff
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { useLocalStorage } from "@penseapp/uselocalstorage";

const App: React.FC = () => {
- const [state, setstate] = useState(false);
+ const [state, setstate] = useLocalStorage('keyName', false);

return (
<>
Your React component...
>
);
};

export default App;
```

## API / Props

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| ------------ | --------------- | -------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| key | string | true | | Key name from `localStorage` (Should be unique) |
| initialValue | any (Generic) | true | | Same as the `useState` hook |
| expire | number or false | false | 60 \* 30 (seconds) | Time in seconds to expiry (false to infinite) |

## localStorage expire

This lib use as dependecy the [expired-storage](https://www.npmjs.com/package/expired-storage), so you can controll your state by how much time it should persist on localStorage

You have two options:

- Set the time in seconds
- Set false to infinite

**Examples**

```tsx
// Never expires (infinite)
const [state, setstate] = useLocalStorage('keyName', 'defaultValue', false);

// Expires in 1 minute
const [state, setstate] = useLocalStorage('keyName', 'defaultValue', 60);

// Expires in 1 hour
const [state, setstate] = useLocalStorage('keyName', 'defaultValue', 60 * 60 * 1); // 3600 seconds

// Expires in 12 hours
const [state, setstate] = useLocalStorage('keyName', 'defaultValue', 60 * 60 * 12); // 43200 seconds
```
