> Zustand middleware to easily persist and sync Zustand state between tabs/windows/iframes (Same Origin)

> Motivation: Recently I got caught up in several issues working with the persist middleware and syncing tabs with Zustand. This is a simple lightweight middleware to persist and instantly share state between tabs or windows

- ✅ 🐙 ~ 1 kB size cross-tab state sharing + persistence for zustand
- ✅ Full TypeScript Support
- ✅ solid reliability in 1 writing and n reading tab scenarios (with changing writing tab)
- ✅ Fire and forget approach of always using the latest state. Perfect for single-user systems
- ✅ Share state between multiple browsing contexts
- ✅ Additional control over which fields to `persist-and-sync` and which to ignore
- ✅ Optimized for performance using memoization and closures.
- ✅ Update options at runtime by setting `__persistNSyncOptions` in your store.

## Install

```bash
$ pnpm add persist-and-sync
```

**or**

```bash
$ npm install persist-and-sync
```

**or**

```bash
$ yarn add persist-and-sync
```

## Usage

Add the middleware while creating the store and the rest will be taken care.

```ts
import { create } from "zustand";
import { persistNSync } from "persist-and-sync";

type MyStore = {
count: number;
set: (n: number) => void;
};

const useStore = create(
persistNSync(
set => ({
count: 0,
set: n => set({ count: n }),
}),
{ name: "my-example" },
),
);
```

⚡🎉Boom! Just a couple of lines and your state perfectly syncs between tabs/windows and it is also persisted using `localStorage`!

## Advanced Usage (Customizations)

### PersistNSyncOptions

In several cases, you might want to exclude several fields from syncing. To support this scenario, we provide a mechanism to exclude fields based on a list of fields or regular expressions.

```typescript
type PersistNSyncOptionsType = {
name: string;
/** @deprecated */
regExpToIgnore?: RegExp;
include?: (string | RegExp)[];
exclude?: (string | RegExp)[];
storage?: "localStorage" | "sessionStorage" | "cookies" /** Added in v1.1.0 */;
};
```

**Example**

```typescript
export const useMyStore = create()(
persistNSync(
set => ({
count: 0,
_count: 0 /** skipped as it is included in exclude array */,
setCount: count => {
set(state => ({ ...state, count }));
},
set_Count: _count => {
set(state => ({ ...state, _count }));
},
}),
{ name: "example", exclude: ["_count"] },
),
);
```

> It is good to note here that each element of `include` and `exclude` array can either be a string or a regular expression.
> To use regular expression, you should either use `new RegExp()` or `/your-expression/` syntax. Double or single quoted strings are not treated as regular expression.
> You can specify whether to use either `"localStorage"`, `"sessionStorage"`, or `"cookies"` to persist the state - default `"localStorage"`. Please note that `"sessionStorage"` is not persisted. Hence can be used for sync only scenarios.

### Updating options at runtime

Since version 1.2, you can also update the options at runTime by setting `__persistNSyncOptions` in your Zustand state.

**Example**

```ts
interface StoreWithOptions {
count: number;
_count: number;
__persistNSyncOptions: PersistNSyncOptionsType;
setCount: (c: number) => void;
set_Count: (c: number) => void;
setOptions: (__persistNSyncOptions: PersistNSyncOptionsType) => void;
}

const defaultOptions = { name: "example", include: [/count/], exclude: [/^_/] };

export const useStoreWithOptions = create(
persistNSync(
set => ({
count: 0,
_count: 0 /** skipped as it matches the regexp provided */,
__persistNSyncOptions: defaultOptions,
setCount: count => set(state => ({ ...state, count })),
set_Count: _count => set(state => ({ ...state, _count })),
setOptions: __persistNSyncOptions => set(state => ({ ...state, __persistNSyncOptions })),
}),
defaultOptions,
),
);
```

### Clear Storage

Starting from version 1.2, you can also clear the persisted data by calling `clearStorage` function. It takes `name` of your store (`name` passed in `options` while creating the store), and optional `storageType` parameters.

```ts
import { clearStorage } from "persist-and-sync";

...
clearStorage("my-store", "cookies");
...
```

## Legacy / Deprecated

#### Ignore/filter out fields based on regExp

In several cases, you might want to exclude several fields from syncing. To support this scenario, we provide a mechanism to exclude fields based on regExp. Just pass `regExpToIgnore` (optional - default -> undefined) in the options object.

```ts
// to ignore fields containing a slug
persistNSync(
set => ({
count: 0,
slugSomeState: 1,
slugSomeState2: 1,
set: n => set({ count: n }),
}),
{ name: "my-channel", regExpToIgnore: /slug/ },
// or regExpToIgnore: new RegExp('slug')
// Use full power of regExp by adding `i` and `g` flags
),
```

For more details about regExp check out - [JS RegExp](https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_regexp.asp)

### Exact match

For exactly matching a parameter/field use `/^your-field-name$/`. `^` forces match from the first character and similarly, `$` forces match until the last character.

### Ignore multiple fields with exact match

use `regExpToIgnore: /^(field1|field2|field3)$/`
