Support for KV Storage
mmv08 opened this issue · 2 comments
I've seen this article about new storage coming:
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/03/kv-storage
Basically this is like localStorage but async and with better performance
It's currently not supported in browsers except Chrome 74+ but I'm curious if this should be supported too (maybe with a polyfill)
This would be awesome to add once widely supported. It's brand new, and still
even locked behind an experimental flag.
Note: The KV Storage module is currently available in Chrome 74 if you have
the experimental web platform features flag turned on:
(chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features).
If and when kv-storage is added and supported in browsers, support in ImmortalDB
would be awesome.
From further reading, kv-storage is built on top of IndexedDB
KV storage is layered on top of IndexedDB, storing its data in a specific
database, so the developer can fall back to using IndexedDB directly when
necessary.
and thus provides no additional redundancy beyond IndexedDbStore.
A separate kv-storage implementation could be built and added, but it's
redundant (and wastes space) on top of IndexedDbStore.
Closing. Please re-open this issue if you have a specific use case in mind where
you'd want kvStorageStore over IndexedDbStore.
