vueuse-chrome-storage

A custom storage provider for VueUse's useStorage composable that allows seamless integration with Chrome's chrome.storage.local API. Easily store and sync reactive state across your Vue 3 application using Chrome Storage.

Features

• Drop-in replacement for VueUse’s localStorage provider.
• Uses Chrome's chrome.storage.local API for persistent storage.
• Supports the same API as useStorage, making it simple to integrate.
• Automatically syncs state changes with Chrome Storage.
• Compatible with Vue 3 and VueUse composables.

Installation

First, ensure you have @vueuse/core installed in your project. If not, you can install both vueuse-chrome-storage and @vueuse/core with the following command:

npm install vueuse-chrome-storage @vueuse/core

If @vueuse/core is already installed:

npm install vueuse-chrome-storage

Usage

This package provides a chromeStorage provider that can be passed to VueUse’s useStorage composable, which will then use Chrome's storage API instead of localStorage.

Example:

import { useStorage } from '@vueuse/core'
import chromeStorage from 'vueuse-chrome-storage'

// Create a reactive state synced with Chrome's storage
const myState = useStorage('my-key', 'defaultValue', chromeStorage)

Detailed Example:

Here is an example of how you can use vueuse-chrome-storage inside a Vue 3 component:

import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useStorage } from '@vueuse/core'
import chromeStorage from 'vueuse-chrome-storage'

export default {
  setup() {
    // The value of `message` will persist in Chrome storage under the key 'my-message'
    const message = useStorage('my-message', 'Hello, World!', chromeStorage)

    return {
      message
    }
  }
}

In this example, the state message is synced with Chrome storage under the key my-message. Any changes to message will be persisted, and the state will be restored from Chrome storage when the component is reloaded.

How It Works

vueuse-chrome-storage uses Chrome’s chrome.storage.local API, which is asynchronous. The provider exposes the required getItem, setItem, and removeItem methods that VueUse's useStorage composable requires to function.

Under the hood, it wraps Chrome's storage API calls with Promises to handle the asynchronous nature of the Chrome API.
