Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

safer-web-storage

Browsers that support localStorage and sessionStorage will have a property on the window object named respectively. However, for various reasons, just asserting that property exists may throw exceptions. If it does exist, that is still no guarantee that localStorage is actually available, as various browsers offer settings that disable storages. So a browser may support localStorage, but not make it available to the scripts on the page. One example of that is Safari, which in Private Browsing mode gives us an empty localStorage object with a quota of zero, effectively making it unusable.

Installation and Usage

npm install safer-web-storage
import * as SafeStorage from 'safer-web-storage'

const safeLocalStorage = SafeStorage.createSafeLocalStorage()
const safeSessionStorage = SafeStorage.createSafeSessionStorage()

safeLocalStorage.getItem('apples')
safeSessionStorage.seItem('pineapples', 20)

If either window.sessionStorage or its methods are not accessible, it swaps to in-memory storage.

This wrapper supports all methods and properties of Web Storage API:

  • getItem
  • setItem
  • removeItem
  • key
  • clear
  • length

API

createSafeLocalStorage(options) => Storage

createSafeSessionStorage(options) => Storage

You can pass the following properties to options:

| Name | Type | Default | Description | | -------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | errorMessage | String | Looks like you've disabled <StorageType>. Enable it to avoid this warning. | Error message printed to the browser console when storage is not available |

Storage public API

| Name | Type | Details | | ----------------------- | ------ | ----------------- | | isNativeStorageUsed | getter | Returns Boolean | | isInMemoryStorageUsed | getter | Returns Boolean |

Development

To test the library in a browser run:

npm install
npm start

Publish

npm ci
npm test
npm run build
npm version [patch|minor|major]
npm publish
