Motivation

When different Website domains need a same-origin storage container, we have to use iframe's same-origin policy Web local storage solution. localForage is an excellent storage library, it supports IndexedDB, WebSQL and localStorage, but it can't solve this problem directly.

That's why we have this library for same-origin storage based on localForage.

Installation

yarn add origin-storage

Usage and Example

• Use OriginStorage on http://localhost:9000/storage.js:

import { OriginStorage } from 'origin-storage';

const originStorage = new OriginStorage();

If you need to set up a more secure origin control, you can set targetOrigin like this.

const originStorage = new OriginStorage({
  targetOrigin: 'http://example.com',
});

• Create and host a Web page(http://localhost:9000/storage.html) containing JavaScript file storage.js.

• Use OriginStorageClient on a cross-domain page:

import { OriginStorageClient } from 'origin-storage';

const originStorageClient = new OriginStorageClient({
  uri: 'http://localhost:9000/storage.html',
});

API

OriginStorage

• new OriginStorage(options)

interface OriginStorageOptions extends IFrameTransportInternalOptions {
  /**
   * Enable read access to OriginStorage.
   */
  read?: boolean;
  /**
   * Enable write access to OriginStorage.
   */
  write?: boolean;
  /**
   * Enable broadcast data changes on OriginStorage.
   */
  broadcastChanges?: boolean;
  /**
   * Specify broadcastChannel name.
   */
  broadcastChannelName?: string;
}

OriginStorageClient

• new OriginStorageClient(options)

interface OriginStorageClientOptions extends IFrameMainTransportOptions {
  /**
   * Specify the uri of an OriginStorage container.
   */
  uri: string;
  /**
   * Set storage options for localforage.
   */
  storageOptions?: LocalForageOptions;
}

• OriginStorageClient instance methods.

   * The callback will be called when the iframe is connected.
   */
  onConnect(callback: () => void): void;
  /**
   * The callback will be called when the storage is changed.
   */
  onChange(callback: (data: IChangeData) => void): Promise<{
    off: () => void;
    broadcastChanges: boolean;
  }>;

   */
  clear(): Promise<void>;
  /**
