##Get Started
(1) You can install angular-local-storage using 2 different ways:
Git:
clone & build this repository
Bower:
$ bower install angular-local-storagenpm:
$ npm install angular-local-storage(2) Include angular-local-storage.js (or angular-local-storage.min.js) in your index.html, after including Angular itself.
(3) Add 'LocalStorageModule' to your main module's list of dependencies.
When you're done, your setup should look similar to the following:
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
</head>
<body>
...
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/js/angular-local-storage.min.js"></script>
...
<script>
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['LocalStorageModule']);
</script>
...
</body>
</html>##Configuration
###setPrefix
You could set a prefix to avoid overwriting any local storage variables from the rest of your app
Default prefix: ls.<your-key>
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
localStorageServiceProvider
.setPrefix('yourAppName');
});###setStorageType
You could change web storage type to localStorage or sessionStorage
Default storage: localStorage
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
localStorageServiceProvider
.setStorageType('sessionStorage');
});###setStorageCookie
Set cookie options (usually in case of fallback)
expiry: number of days before cookies expire (0 = does not expire). default: 30
path: the web path the cookie represents. default: '/'
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
localStorageServiceProvider
.setStorageCookie(45, '<path>');
});###setStorageCookieDomain
Set the cookie domain, since this runs inside a the config() block, only providers and constants can be injected. As a result, $location service can't be used here, use a hardcoded string or window.location.
No default value
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
localStorageServiceProvider
.setStorageCookieDomain('<domain>');
});For local testing (when you are testing on localhost) set the domain to an empty string ''. Setting the domain to 'localhost' will not work on all browsers (eg. Chrome) since some browsers only allow you to set domain cookies for registry controlled domains, i.e. something ending in .com or so, but not IPs or intranet hostnames like localhost.
###setNotify
Send signals for each of the following actions:
setItem , default: true
removeItem , default: false
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
localStorageServiceProvider
.setNotify(true, true);
});###Configuration Example Using all together
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
localStorageServiceProvider
.setPrefix('myApp')
.setStorageType('sessionStorage')
.setNotify(true, true)
});##API Documentation
##isSupported
Checks if the browser support the current storage type(e.g: localStorage, sessionStorage).
Returns: Boolean
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
if(localStorageService.isSupported) {
//...
}
//...
});###getStorageType
Returns: String
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
var storageType = localStorageService.getStorageType(); //e.g localStorage
//...
});###set
Directly adds a value to local storage.
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.
Returns: Boolean
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
function submit(key, val) {
return localStorageService.set(key, value);
}
//...
});###get
Directly get a value from local storage.
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.
Returns: value from local storage
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
function getItem(key) {
return localStorageService.get(key);
}
//...
});###keys
Return array of keys for local storage, ignore keys that not owned.
Returns: value from local storage
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
var lsKeys = localStorageService.keys();
//...
});###remove
Remove an item from local storage by key.
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.
Returns: Boolean
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
function removeItem(key) {
return localStorageService.remove(key);
}
//...
});###clearAll
Remove all data for this app from local storage.
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.
Note: Optionally takes a regular expression string and removes matching.
Returns: Boolean
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
function clearNumbers(key) {
return localStorageService.clearAll(/^\d+$/);
}
//...
function clearAll() {
return localStorageService.clearAll();
}
});###bind
Bind $scope key to localStorageService.
Usage: localStorageService.bind(scope, property, value[optional], key[optional])
key: The corresponding key used in local storage
Returns: deregistration function for this listener.
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
localStorageService.set('property', 'oldValue');
$scope.unbind = localStorageService.bind($scope, 'property');
//Test Changes
$scope.update = function(val) {
$scope.property = val;
$timeout(function() {
alert("localStorage value: " + localStorageService.get('property'));
});
}
//...
});<div ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<p>{{property}}</p>
<input type="text" ng-model="lsValue"/>
<button ng-click="update(lsValue)">update</button>
<button ng-click="unbind()">unbind</button>
</div>###deriveKey
Return the derive key
Returns String
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
localStorageService.set('property', 'oldValue');
//Test Result
console.log(localStorageService.deriveKey('property')); // ls.property
//...
});###length
Return localStorageService.length, ignore keys that not owned.
Returns Number
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
var lsLength = localStorageService.length(); // e.g: 7
//...
});##Cookie
Deal with browser's cookies directly.
##cookie.isSupported
Checks if cookies are enabled in the browser.
Returns: Boolean
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
if(localStorageService.cookie.isSupported) {
//...
}
//...
});###cookie.set
Directly adds a value to cookies.
Note: Typically used as a fallback if local storage is not supported.
Returns: Boolean
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
function submit(key, val) {
return localStorageService.cookie.set(key, value);
}
//...
});###cookie.get
Directly get a value from a cookie.
Returns: value from local storage
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
function getItem(key) {
return localStorageService.cookie.get(key);
}
//...
});###cookie.remove
Remove directly value from a cookie.
Returns: Boolean
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
function removeItem(key) {
return localStorageService.cookie.remove(key);
}
//...
});###clearAll
Remove all data for this app from cookie.
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
//...
function clearAll() {
return localStorageService.cookie.clearAll();
}
