Persistence

A small Javascript Library aimed at making it easier to read and write to localstorage

Usage

Instantiate a new Persistence object:

var _p = new Persistence();

To get all data within localStorage for your this instance

var _p = new Persistence();
var allData = _p.getPersistenceStates(); //returns JSON Object of all data

To get a specific value to a key in a key/value pair in local storage

var _p = new Persistence();
var specificData = _p.getPersistenceState('key'); //returns value of that key in the JSON object of all localstorage for this intance

To set persistence data

var _p = new Persistence();
var newData = {foo: "bar"};
var updatedData = _p.setPersistenceState(newData); //updates localstorage and returns JSON Object of all updated data

To clear all localStorage data for a Persistence instance:

var _p = new Persistence();
_p.clearPersistenceStates(); //resets localstorage and deletes all data for that Persistence instance

A Persistence Object instance has an expiration date. By Default it's set to 1 day. To change:

var _p = new Persistence();
_p.setExpirationDays(5); //sets expiration of data to 5 days

To get the current expiration date of a Persistence instance:

var _p = new Persistence();
_p.getExpirationDays(); //returns expiration of data in this instance

A Persistence object uses a key in local storage to set the data, by default its appData. To change:

var _p = new Persistence();
_p.setAppDataKey('newAppKey'); //sets the key in localStorage for this persistence object to "newAppKey"

To get the current key:

var _p = new Persistence();
_p.getAppDataKey(); //sets the key in localStorage for this persistence object to "newAppKey"
