Key configurations

Each key can have its own configuration

Defaults

Configure default values to the localstorage key

import { storageKeyConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage"

const user = storageKeyConfig({
  defaults: {
    name: 'Guest',
    email: '[email protected]'
  }
})

import { storageKeyConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage"

const user = storageKeyConfig<User>({
  defaults: {
    name: 'Guest',
    email: '[email protected]'
  }
})

Versions & Migrations

If there is a schema change required in the local storage or in its default value, the storage can be simply migrated to the latest version by incrementing the version of a key. It will invoke the given migration method when there is a conflict with version.

import { storageKeyConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage"

const user = storageKeyConfig({
  defaults: {
    name: 'Guest',
    email: '[email protected]',
    avatar: 'example.com/guest.png'
  },
  version: 2,
  migration: (currentValue, defaultValue) {
    return Object.assign({}, ...currentValue, ...defaultValue);
  }
})

import { storageKeyConfig } from "@webcored/react-local-storage"

const user = storageKeyConfig<User>({
  defaults: {
    name: 'Guest',
    email: '[email protected]',
    avatar: 'example.com/guest.png'
  },
  version: 2,
  migration: (currentValue, defaultValue) {
    return Object.assign({}, ...currentValue, ...defaultValue);
  }
})
