console.log(BrowserInMemStorage.inMemStorage) // {}

import { clear, getItem, setItem, removeItem, logout } from 'browser-in-mem-storage';

/**

setItem('name', 'Obiora C.N');
setItem('occupations', ['Frontend Engineer', 'Backend Engineer']);
console.log(BrowserInMemStorage.inMemStorage)
// { name: "Obiora C.N", occupations: ['Frontend Engineer', 'Backend Engineer'] }

/**

const occupations = getItem('occupations');
console.log(occupations)
// ['Frontend Engineer', 'Backend Engineer']

/**

clear();
console.log(BrowserInMemStorage.inMemStorage) // {}

/**

const handleLogoutProcedure = () => {
  // remove auth token and reload app
  removeItem('token');
};

logout(handleLogoutProcedure);

BrowserInMemStorage.getItem('name');
BrowserInMemStorage.removeItem('name');
BrowserInMemStorage.clear();
BrowserInMemStorage.logout(() => {
  // remove auth token and reload app
});
