Build Status

##Table of contents:

##Get Started (1) You can install angular-local-storage using 2 different ways:
Git: clone & build this repository
Bower:

$ bower install angular-local-storage

npm:

$ npm install angular-local-storage

(2) Include angular-local-storage.js (or angular-local-storage.min.js) in your index.html, after including Angular itself.

(3) Add 'LocalStorageModule' to your main module's list of dependencies.

When you're done, your setup should look similar to the following:

<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
   
</head>
<body>
    ...
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="bower_components/js/angular-local-storage.min.js"></script>
    ...
    <script>
        var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['LocalStorageModule']);

    </script>
    ...
</body>
</html>

##Configuration ###setPrefix You could set a prefix to avoid overwriting any local storage variables from the rest of your app
Default prefix: ls.<your-key>

myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setPrefix('yourAppName');
});

###setStorageType You could change web storage type to localStorage or sessionStorage
Default storage: localStorage

myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setStorageType('sessionStorage');
});

###setStorageCookie Set cookie options (usually in case of fallback)
expiry: number of days before cookies expire (0 = does not expire). default: 30
path: the web path the cookie represents. default: '/'

myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setStorageCookie(45, '<path>');
});

###setStorageCookieDomain Set for cookie domain
No default value

myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setStorageCookieDomain('<domain>');
});

###setNotify Send signals for each of the following actions:
setItem , default: true
removeItem , default: false

myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setNotify(true, true);
});

###Configuration Example Using all together

myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setPrefix('myApp')
    .setStorageType('sessionStorage')
    .setNotify(true, true)
});

##API Documentation ##isSupported Checks if the browser support the current storage type(e.g: localStorage, sessionStorage). Returns: Boolean

  var storageType = localStorageService.getStorageType(); //e.g localStorage
  //...
});

###set Directly adds a value to local storage.
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.

  //...
  function getItem(key) {
   return localStorageService.get(key);
  }
  //...
});

###keys Return array of keys for local storage, ignore keys that not owned.
Returns: value from local storage

myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
  //...
  var lsKeys = localStorageService.keys();
  //...
});

###remove Remove an item from local storage by key.
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.

  }
});

###bind Bind $scope key to localStorageService.
Usage: localStorageService.bind(scope, property, value[optional], key[optional])
key: The corresponding key used in local storage Returns: deregistration function for this listener.

myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
  //...
  localStorageService.set('property', 'oldValue');
  $scope.unbind = localStorageService.bind($scope, 'property');
  
  //Test Changes
  $scope.update = function(val) {
    $scope.property = val;
    $timeout(function() {
      alert("localStorage value: " + localStorageService.get('property'));
    });
  }
  //...
});
<div ng-controller="MainCtrl">
  <p>{{property}}</p>
